One of the main techniques used in this poem was Juxtaposition, as this poem is a comparison between the two very different lives of two men, at first it seems that the wealthy man had it all and the man in poverty had nothing, but by the end of the poem it challenges it by showing what the end of their life had in store for them. In the beginning of the poem the millionaire felt blessed to have their own child as it is said in the beginning of the poem “The rich man said ‘my son shall be a Lordly ruler o’er land and sea’ “whereas the man in poverty took it as another mouth to feed and a part of God’s plan for him to have another child “Tis the Good Gods will that I have another mouth to fill” from these two quotes it seems that the wealthy have it better, but the man in poverty defies it. By the end of the rich man’s life, he has led an unpleasant life in this quote “He scoffed at woman, and doubted God, and died like a beast and went back to the sod.” The man in poverty however, being a working class man has fulfilled his life with the quote “The son of the labourer tilled the soil, and thanked God daily for health and toil. He wedded for love in his youthful prime”.

Many times, in one's lifetime, they've done something such as eating the last piece of the pie that their mother was saving or something quite similar.
