Courage

2. We have been reading Anne Sexton's poem, "Courage" and Rudyard Kipling's poem "If". Both poems deal with the theme of courage. Which poem appeals most to you and explain why. Consider what the poet says and how each poet expresses his/her viewpoint.

I think the poem "Courage" appeals to me the most because she had a lot of courage even though she went through so many hardships in her life. She's explaining how the older you get the more wiser you get and the more courage you tend to have. If you've been bullied as a child or been abused you can always be healed by someone just coming over to help you, one little thing can mean a whole lot more to another person and can get them through life. And if you live life the way you want and help others then when you are ready for death and it will be as informal as just chilling at home.
