Compare and contrast the two poems: “Funeral Oration for a Mouse” by Alan Dugan and “A Bat in the Monastery” by John L. Heureux.
Both poems in each pair have similar subject matters and are thematically similar. Your paper should include a brief prose summary of both poems in the pair so that your reader understands what each poem is about and how they are similar. Your paper should then discuss how the authors explore the subjects and themes. What is the tone of each of the poems? How does the author’s diction, use of figurative language, and symbolism advance their themes?
