Answer:

The question above wants to assess your ability to interpret, read and write. For that reason, I can't write the text for you, but I'll show you how to write it.

First, you should read the two poems presented in the question above. I suggest you read “The Rainy Day” and “The Mending Wall” as they are short poems and very popular.

You should read and reread these poems analyzing the themes they cover, the literary techniques used, and the structures of each poem.

As these are two popular poems, you will find many articles about them that will help you to analyze them in the best possible way.

After that, you can write your text as follows:

1st paragraph: Present the two poems and their authors.

2nd paragraph: Present the elements of these poems that are similar.

3rd paragraph: Present the elements of this poem that are different.

4th paragraph: Conclude how these similarities and differences between the two poems are significant and important for the analysis between them to be done.

Don't forget to confirm all the information you present about the poems using textual evidence.
