Question

plentiful example thing does poet give​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Gwendolyn Brooks's "the mother" is a poem narrated by the eponymous mother. The mother reflects on the abortions that she has chosen to have and on the lives of the babies that were never born. In the second and third stanzas, the mother addresses directly her aborted babies, and she apologizes for all of the experiences that she has denied to them.

Throughout the poem the speaker lists all of the things that the aborted babies will never be able to experience. They will never, she says, be "silence[d]" or bought "with a sweet," and they will never cry "baby tears," play "games" or experience "loves...tumults...marriage...[or] aches." They will also never "giggle...or plan...or cr[y]."

This list of plentiful things, or experiences, which the speaker feels she has denied to her "killed children," emphasizes the guilt which seems to torment her. She feels that she has denied to each of these "killed children" the rich collection of experiences, good and bad, which comprise a typical life.
