Yes, Cuban B
Two poems that are completely opposite of each other, ironically both talk about two particular issues. One of them is obviously the Titanic. The other one is Fate. "Convergence of the Twain" written by Thomas Hardy in 1912, and "titanic", written be Slavitt, in 1983, both deal with that issue, in one way or the other. "The Convergence of Twain" states in the fourth stanza, "The imminent will that stirs and urges everything" and "Titanic" states more simply in the 2 stanzas, "To go down...We all go down. In these newt two paragraphs I will try to explain how these poems affected me and how different they actually are. "The Convergence of Twain" is a poem that you have to read closely because of its sophisticated vocabulary and deep content.

What if there's something that is above us that decides what happens and we can't control what happens. For example, in the 2nd stanza of "Titanic" it says, "Well fed, with music, with lights. In my opinion, a lot of people actually would buy tickets to go on a voyage on the legendary ship, titanic. But the thing is, I noticed, as you read it more times, you start to realize different things about it and you start thinking to yourself. "Titanic", however, is of a more simple structure. People have gotten used to it and no longer consider death a significant thing. It seems that both authors had in mind that the Titanic was suppose to sink. Therefore opening up an acceptance of creating poems that actually celebrate the sinking of the Titanic. Another thing about this poem is, the mood is really dark, lonely, and depressing. You could read it once through and get it.
