A Girl by Edward Morgan

Within the first few lines we are painted a very detailed picture of the young girls dilemma. “Thin as a bird fallen from its nest.” This sentence is a simile that makes a large impact on you and is very memorable. The subject of the poem is clear right from the start. A young girl is vulnerable, unloved, neglected and is fighting for her life. The word “thin as a bird” makes you think of a girl who is emaciated and this makes you feel sympathy for her. Moreov

In conclusion to the poem I have thought carefully about how I would be able to cope with this moral dilemma, if I were ever placed in this predicament. I would not know what to do, since when you are emotionally involved it makes decision making much harder to take. As a result of this, I would now agree that I would listen and take advice from the people who are medically trained, they have seen it before so they would recommend what to do in the interest of the patient. There is no point making your own decision if you don’t know all of the facts. The inclusion the imagery, lexical choice and literary techniques has made this poem very memorable to me, and I’m sure it has made a great impact on those who have also read it. In my opinion prolonging life is very important as you have to live your life to the full. Even if you can’t talk or write, that still doesn’t mean that you are incapable of thinking and imaging things you wish to happen. As long as you brain is functioning, you are as alive as anyone who is walking in the street. Therefore I have a great deal of feelings for this poem as it has made me think twice about people caught up in this quandary, and will help me sympathise, and hopefully help people to the best of my ability.
