When we contrast two things, we tell how they are different.  \nHere are two poems. As you read, think about how the details in the poems arealike and how they are different.  \n\n| Foreign Lands\u003Cbr>By Robert Louis Stevenson\u003Cbr>Up into the cherry tree\u003Cbr>Who should climb but little me? I held the trunk with both my hands And looked abroad in foreign lands.\u003Cbr>I saw the next door garden lie, Adorned with flowers, before my eye, And many pleasant places more That I had never seen before.\u003Cbr>I saw the dimpling river pass And be the sky’s blue looking-glass; The dusty roads go up and down With people tramping in to town.\u003Cbr>If I could find a higher tree Farther and farther I should see, To where the grown-up river slips Into the sea among the ships,\u003Cbr>To where the roads on either hand Lead onward into fairy land, Where all the children dine at five, And all the playthings come alive.\u003Cbr>| Where Go the Boats?\u003Cbr>By Robert Louis Stevenson\u003Cbr>Dark brown is the river, Golden is the sand. It flows along forever, With trees on either hand.\u003Cbr>Green leaves a-floating, Castles of the foam.\u003Cbr>Boats of mine a-boating—Where will they come home?\u003Cbr>On goes the river And out past the mill.\u003Cbr>Away down the valley.\u003Cbr>Away down the hill.\u003Cbr>Away down the river, A hundred miles or more, Other little children\u003Cbr>Shall bring my boats ashore.\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- |\n\nSome of the details below are true about just one of the poems.
