Question

Alone - Two Poems
Which theme is expressed by one poem, but not the other?

Solitude can be intensely rewarding if you avoid analyzing your life while you're alone.

Solitude is a painful state that wears down the soul and therefore should be avoided.

Solitude awakens the senses to the beauty of nature and returns the spirit to a state of peace.

Answer 1

The theme expressed by one poem, but not the other, is:

Solitude can be intensely rewarding if you avoid analyzing your life while you're alone.

This theme emphasizes the positive aspects of solitude and suggests that it can lead to a rewarding experience if one refrains from self-reflection, which may not be a theme explored in the contrasting poem.
