The poems “Eternal Devotion” and “How You Do It” by Wt. Bakelar and Labrina respectively talk about the different ways men treat their wives. Bakelar's poem is about a couple who have been married for a very long time and how the man worships her. In Labrina's poem, the boy breaks his girlfriend's heart and yet has no guilty conscience. In the way they treat their partner, their contrasting attitudes come out. In this essay, I will mainly analyze men's attitudes from the perspectives of different speakers. The man's attitude in "Eternal Devotion" is conveyed from the third person point of view. In "How You Do It", the heartbroken girl is the speaker and, from time to time, she refers to herself in the third person. Using first and third person point of view lets us know what both characters are thinking. “Eternal Devotion” is a poem of six stanzas of three lines each and “How You Do It” is a poem of eighteen lines in a single stanza. . The speaker of "Eternal Devotion" appreciates his wife very much. He is happy when she gives him children. This is why he takes care of them and “played his role”. Playing his role means doing everything he can to help raise his children. Sometimes when some women give birth, their husbands or partners abandon them or abandon them expecting women to take care of the children alone, but this man is doing what he should do as a responsible father. It makes me respect this man. However, in "How You Do It", the boy is extremely cruel to his girlfriend. He is the first boy she loves and yet he does not appreciate her love for him. We see this through the appropriate diction that he “shredded” his heart and also “torn” it. This...... middle of paper...... is dedicated to his wife. He "couldn't" let her go shows that he loves her so much and is so devoted that even when she is dying he can't leave her. Additionally, the words "forever" and "eternity", which generally mean timeless, are used to show the extent of his love, which shows his complete affection and attachment to his wife. He uses these words when he says that even if he died, he would join her and he would love her. This man is a true gem of a husband. Comparing these two poems, I believe that a man like the one described in "Eternal Devotion" is the best guy to marry because he will love you endlessly. The one from "How You Do It" is the type to use you and when he gets tired of you, he'll throw you away like yesterday's trash. This man is not worth loving. I greatly appreciated both poems, both for their content and for their style..
