A Comparison Between Death of a Naturalist and Digging

Comparison of natural death and excavation GCSE's course work has to compare two poems from foreign cultures. The two poems we chose are influenced by Irish pop song "Seamus Heaney". We can regard two poems as "autobiography", "death of naturalism" and "excavation". "Death of naturalism" is basically a small boy who loves nature, and this boy collapses during the summer. "Excavation" is about the poet who remembered his childhood, he wrote that the excavation seems to be his family patriotism.

Seamus Heaney's "excavation" is the first poem of the first full volume of Heaney's poem, "the death of naturalism". "Death of a naturalist" is about the transition to adulthood and the process of losing innocence. This poem shows how Hynie looked at his father and grandfather, especially their diligence. Even if Heaney did not follow their footsteps but became a farm worker, he respected the work they did, especially the skills they dig. This poem is a free poetry. There are 8 sections and 2 caplets. Sometimes it rhymes, but there is no rhyming pattern. The first two lines are rhyming with "thumb" and "gun", and there are some rhyming words in the second quarter. This poem is the story of the first person, this can be seen in the first line using the word "my" and in other lines using words such as "I" or "us". As all three generations mentioned are digging, the title is related to poetry

Anahorish and Digging are two poems written by famous Irish poet Seamus Heaney from "Wintering Out" in 1972 and "Anthology" in 1966 "Death of Naturalism". Anahorish is the name of the school that Heaney attended (the English version of "anachgeeor uisce" in Irish means cold water), and Heaney visits his old school and go back to the past to unearth Heaney He was focused on expressing his admiration for his ancestors and how they tapped to survive and he declared that instead of their spades to delve into his Irish fellow's past I used his pen. The comparison between Anahorish and Diging is particularly different as I think that there are many features with Anahorish, such as land references, memories of poets, slow and reflexive words.
