Question

Compared the poem bangle seller to another literary text on the basis of the thematic similarities

Answer 1

Answer:

In the poem, the bangle seller, Sarojini Naidu, the writer examines the theme of women's roles in a traditional Indian society. She does this throughout the poem "The Bangle Sellers."

In this the seller attempts to persuade customers to purchase various bangles, which are colored differently to symbolize significant moments in different lives of women. In a way its a certain type of women empowerment.

I would compare this with the poem, “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou

The theme of "Still I Rise" is about self respect, and confidence of the poet who in the poem reveals how she will overcome anything with her self-esteem and an encouragement of how life differs from one another.

The theme is similar because of depiction of lives of women.
