Read both pieces and respond to the prompt that follows."Hospital Duties"by AnonymousFold away all your bright-tinted dresses,   Turn the key on your jewels today,And the wealth of your tendril-like tresses   Braid back in a serious way;No more delicate gloves, no more laces,   No more trifling in boudoir or bower,But come with your souls in your faces   To meet the stern wants of the hour.Look around! By the torchlight unsteady   The dead and the dying seem one —What! Trembling and paling already,   Before your dear mission's begun?These wounds are more precious than ghastly —   Time presses her lips to each scar,While she chants of that glory which vastly   Transcends all the horrors of war.Pause here by this bedside. How mellow   The light showers down on that brow!Such a brave, brawny visage, poor fellow!   Some homestead is missing him now!Some wife shades her eyes in the clearing,   Some mother sits moaning distressed,While the loved one lies faint but unfearing,   With the enemy's ball in his breast.Here's another—a lad—a mere stripling,   Picked up in the field almost dead,With the blood through his sunny hair rippling   From the horrible gash in his head.They say he was first in the action;   Gay-hearted, quick-headed, and witty:He fought till he dropped with exhaustion   At the gates of our fair Southern city.Fought and fell 'neath the guns of that city,   With a spirit transcending his years—Lift him up in your large-hearted pity,   And wet his pale lips with your tears.Touch him gently; most sacred the duty   Of dressing that poor shattered hand!God spare him to rise in his beauty   And battle once more for his land! from "The Women Who Went to the Field"by Clara BartonThe women who went to the field, you say,The women who went to the field; and prayWhat did they go for? just to be in the way!—They'd not know the difference betwixt work and play,What did they know about war anyway?What could they do?—of what use could they be?They would scream at the sight of a gun, don't you see?Just fancy them round where the bugle notes play,And the long roll is bidding us on to the fray.Imagine their skirts 'mong artillery wheels,And watch for their flutter as they flee 'cross the fieldsWhen the charge is rammed home and the fire belches hot;—They never will wait for the answering shot.They would faint at the first drop of blood, in their sight.What fun for us boys,—(ere we enter the fight;)They might pick some lint, and tear up some sheets,And make us some jellies, and send on their sweets,And knit some soft socks for Uncle Sam's shoes,And write us some letters, and tell us the news.And thus it was settled by common consent,That husbands, or brothers, or whoever went,That the place for the women was in their own homes,There to patiently wait until victory comes.But later, it chanced, just how no one knew,That the lines slipped a bit, and some 'gan to crowd through;And they went,—where did they go?—Ah; where did they not?Show us the battle,—the field,—or the spotWhere the groans of the wounded rang out on the airThat her ear caught it not, and her hand was not there,Who wiped the death sweat from the cold, clammy brow,And sent home the message;—"'T is well with him now"?Who watched in the tents, whilst the fever fires burned,And the pain-tossing limbs in agony turned,And wet the parched tongue, calmed delirium's strifeTill the dying lips murmured, "My Mother," "My Wife"!And who were they all?—They were many, my men …In a well-written paragraph of 7–10 sentences, compare and contrast the authors’ perspectives on womens' contributions to the Civil War.
