"Manwatching" by Georgia Garrett and
"First Ice" by Andrei Voznesensky
We have analysed two poems about rejection and Betrayal. Although both have similar themes, the atmospheres are different. In "Manwatching" by Georgia Garrett, the first poem we looked at, the feeling was of anger and betrayal whereas in "First Ice" by Andrei Voznesensky the feelings were of hurt and loneliness.
In "Manwatching" a girl is at a party. She is watching her boyfriend looking at another girl. The Girl is watching the two people flirting and feeling angry and betrayed.
In "First Ice" It is describing the moment after a girl has been rejected by a partner. It doesn't tell you anything about how the rejection came about, it describes the girl and the feeling of coldness and loneliness.
The titles of both poems are in context. They don't lead you to think that what happens is going to happen. I thought that "Manwatching" suggests stalking not knowing someone and watching them closely. Its suggested to me that it could have something to do with assassination and killing.
"First ice" tells you it is the first time something
