7. Review
The poem another chance highlights the
importance of not giving way for another chance
to despair and making a fresh beginning. The
poet asks us how often we have wished for
another chance to start afresh. She believes that
in order to make a new start we ought to have a
deep desire in our heart. According to her, we
should try whole heartedly to achieve our aims.
