Question

Give a brief explanation of the poem a mother in a refugee camp. ​

Answer 1

A mother in a refugee camp:

This poem primarily revolves round the themes of love, loss and death.

The theme of loss and death is revealed all over the poem but chiefly in the opening of the poem.

This suggests the death of her son and how the mother must overlook her son in order to avoid feeling worried for the rest of her life.

The theme of love is generally revealed in the middle of the poem when it states

"her eyes the memory

 Of a mother’s pride"  

This quote displays how a mother's superiority always remains whether the child is dead or alive.
