Question 1.
\nThe poem describes the poet\u2019s personal experience. Does it stop at that?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It starts with how the mother gave her beauty to the child and lost a little with every birth.<\/li>\n
  2. She is dead, and the poet feels guilty that he has not used her gift properly.<\/li>\n
  3. When he thinks about how he has helped to make any woman\u2019s life better, he realizes that he has not done anything at all.<\/li>\n
  4. Women all over the world are still exploited, tormented and oppressed by men.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Answer:
    \nThe poet doesn\u2019t stop at his personal experience. There is a strong opinion about women\u2019s right that is communicated in the poem. A woman\u2019s role as a mother, a woman who is made powerless by a man, a woman who has to fight for every right and men who force her into those situations and worse should be ashamed.<\/p>\n

    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The poet talks about a common event in a very unusual manner.<\/li>\n

          C.L.M. Poem Summary in English<\/h3>\n

          This poem expresses love and regrets in a very unusual way. It has to be said that the poem is written to his mother or at least written with his mother in mind.<\/p>\n

          It starts out by explaining how mother gave him life and died and it continues to explain, how he expresses grief, for his mother cannot see him grown-up and cannot see how his son has lived his life.<\/p>\n

          The third stanza turns to the idea that even if death could be undone and his mother would be reincarnated it would be of no use because they would not recognize each other.<\/p>\n

          In the fourth stanza, the whole poem takes an unusual turn for the author thinks that he is in debt to his mother and all womankind for the suffering they need to undergo when bearing the child and when in labour.<\/p>\n

          He concludes the poem with more feeling of guilt for he thinks he has not repaid the favour of living to her mother and due to that to women in general.<\/p>\n

          The author thinks that he is also to blame for the fact that men are considered superior to women for he has not done anything about it. In some sense, the author expresses concern over the inequality of sexes.<\/p>\n

          Even if it could be considered or labelled as a love poem it cannot be compared with the poem beauty for the difference of tone is too great.<\/p>\n
