First poem Second poem
As we stand on the hill
As we stand on the hillWe can see twenty miles
And all of the garbageIs heaped up in piles
And a little girlLooks at her daddy
And smiles'Is this what you leaving for me?'
We can see all smokeWe can see all the rustWe can see all the fieldsThat are turning to dust
And I wonder why thisLittle girlPut her trustIn peopleLike you and me
!he grips at my handAnd she gives a big sighAnd she says to me"addy
Are we all going to die?And the lump in my throatPrevents my replycos the truth isI really don#t know

Whale: An innocent death
As the gentle giants swim through thesea&ot e(pecting a thing&
A sharp metal ob)ect is heading theirway&
And they feel a sharp sting
They don#t know what happened&$ut they feel a lot of pain&The innocent creatures&
Are pulled up by a chain
ow they#ve figured it out&They know what#s going on&
A whaling harpoon has hit them&A massive violent gun
As they#re pulled up to the whalingship&Their condition deteriorates&They get weaker and weaker&They#re in a terrible state
The last thing they see&*ust before they die&Is the satisfied look&In the fisherman#s eye
I hope this proves&+ow cruel whaling is&Well how would you like it&If you were treated like this?

Personal response to poems, entitled: Whale: An innocent death
This poem is a poem should be appreciated because it contains many elements
that bring awareness to the people This poem is about a whale that caught with a sharp
iron
In the first paragraph& described as a big giant swimming slowly in the vast
ocean This giant had never suspected anything happening around it while it continued
swimming with )oy Without thinking that something bad will happen by the whales&
which are very sharp steel had rushed up to it The whales could feel a sharp stab in the
body !tab wounds caused whale feels as though he had been stung by something
sharp
In the second paragraph& whales do not know what had happened to itself $ut&
what the whale felt was a huge pain Then& this innocent creature had been transported
over with chains
In the third paragraph& this whale )ust noticed that he was actually caught by
humans In whaling& a special harpoon to catch the whale was used This weapon is a
great tool in terms of si5e and represents cruelty
In the ne(t paragraph tells more about the condition of the whale "uring the
whale into vessels& whales are in a pitiful state 4ver time& this whale is getting weaker
It felt sick The whales are in the worst condition
In the fifth paragraph& tell about the state of whale weakening and getting down
At the last moment of death of whale& whales have seen the eyes that are thrown by
fishermen 6iew that is thrown is a happy outlook on cruelty committed by the
fishermen

In the last paragraph& the poet e(presses the hope of whaling Poet e(pressed
hope everything is testament to the cruelty whaling activities Poet also throws the
2uestion of human feeling as a whole 7uestions were raised about what we feel as if
we treated people like what happened to the whale
4nce selected poems e(plore& I think this poem relates to human actions and
often selfish +umans often want to make money without thinking about the disaster to
be struck As we know& whales are one of endangered animals& but people forget this
fact in order to make profits To avoid this happening& we should put ourselves in the
place of the victim In this way& we would always be alert to the action we want to do
Imagine if we were whales 4f course we want to live freely in the vast sea 8very day
we want to swim independently without any threats from anyone Imagine also if we are
caught in cold blood Are we happy with the situation? 4f course we will feel sad and
disappointed In this case& people need to consider the best on something before doing
it
In conclusion& from beginning to end& the poet wants the reader to put
themselves inside a whale At the beginning of the poem& the poet reflects the )oy of
whales swimming freely Then the whales were captured and eventually die !adness
that occurs& it is the state of the growing shortage of natural resources due to human
greed itself

Reflection
In making this assignment& I have found many problems in completing tasks
properly Among these problems are difficult to find poems that are appropriate to the
tasks given +owever& after I e(plore and read a poem by one& finally I found two poems
in my opinion the best The poem describes two different situations but still in same
theme
The second problem I faced was detailing the differences and similarities
between the two poems +owever& after I follow the attached guidelines I can find
differences and similarities in these poems
The third problem is concerned with analy5ing the poem that was selected To
overcome this problem& I repeatedly read and understand& I finally understood the poem
well
9inally& after making this assignment& I find that I have received much benefit as I
have been able to understand the te(t of the poem& I could write a poem related to the
analysis and I can improve my fluency in 8nglish Language
