- Gwendolyn Brooks Poem The Mother Looks At An Issue That Is A Hot Topic In This Country Today With Legislation Passed 1 (26.14 KiB) Viewed 77 times
Gwendolyn Brooks' poem "The Mother" looks at an issue that is a hot topic in this country today, with legislation passed, or being considered in certain states to overturn Roe v Wade. Why do you think that Brooks calls the poem "The Mother" instead of "Abortion"? Explain the mother's situation, and then talk to her, as you did to the "cool" boys, about your views on this issue and whether you think your perspective can help her manage this emotional dilemma that she is agonizing about. Focus on some particular statement that she makes, so that you do not end up with a huge, detailed tome about this sensitive issue.
