There are only a few similarities between ’Afternoons’‚ by Philip Larkin‚ and ’Churning Day’‚ by Seamus Heaney. These feature mainly in the structure of the two poems. They both use enjambment for the whole length of the poem‚ with just one end-stopped line present in each. Enjambment gives both poems a sense of continuous movement. This is appropriate in ’Churning Day’ as it represents the motion of the person churning the butter. It also makes the voice of ’Churning Day’ sound out of breath‚ as

"Afternoons" is a melancholy poem‚ about the inevitability of change and the passing of youth. The poem‚ written by Philip Larkin‚ forces the reader to reflect upon the lifestyle of a young woman with a husband and family. Previously‚ I thought this would be a very fulfilling lifestyle; however‚ Larkin has changed my opinion on this matter. Although Larkin’s thoughts on this life are completely biased‚ Larkin does make a valid point‚ which is that these young women lead a quite monotonous lifestyle

Good afternoon year twelve‚ I am here today to offer you an understanding of the concept of belonging and the fact that it is not as simplistic as you may think.

This takes a long time to do and a lot of patience‚ but it eliminates the grey colour you
