Home Burial Communication between the opposite sexes. This is what I see as the biggest similarity or connection between the poem Home Burial by Robert Frost, and the article Sex, Lies and Conversation by Deborah Tannen. The article was more of a study on how males and females communicate with one another. The poem was basically doing the same, yet in a story or example like form. One connection I saw between the poem and the article was when the husband was trying to explain his point of view to his wife on the burial of their child. He was telling her how where he buried his child was where his people were. Instead of the wife listening and trying to understand, she took offense to it.
