The story “Flapper” and the poem “where has the mother flown” have similar content or themes. One consistent theme that comes out is that of death. First is the disappearance of the wren’s parents leaving the chic’s to die, second, Bess’s and her sister’s husband die and in the end Bess’s sister dies of stroke. The poem also depicts the same theme with the disappearance of a lover over sixty years and the question of where Salvi, Philmoor, Baxton, Seddar and Clives mother have disappeared to. In terms of techniques we can identify flashback as having being used consistently in both pieces, oxymoron- such as “ she was a young girl at 85” and similes such as “ deaf as a rock” have also been extensively used.

The two poems use flashback as a dominant technique for example in the poem “by the Duomo” the phrase “27, a child, he reminds me of Kenny’s older brother, whom I met In a gay bar in ’67.” In the poem, “ In the Duomo Museum” the phrase “am reminded of Betty Jean in ’76, Her agonized rant Of Scripture and Obscenity…” also shows use of flashback. The dominant theme that can be found in the two poems is romance or love. Another similarity is that the two poems end with an aspect of separation with the characters going opposite ways. The difference that can be spotted in these two poems is in terms of techniques where the poem “By the Duomo” uses Rhyme in the phrases “Innocently, Cheerfully,” and the first phrase “27…” and “… ‘67” while the second poem has no rhyme.

Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 130 are two quite different poems though with the same theme. In the first poem Shakespeare describes his love in a straight forward way and adores the beauty. His lover has many good qualities that cannot be found under the sun. The poem introduces the aspect of immortality where Shakespeare sees his lover alive in the lines of the poem even
