A Greek philosopher once said, “There is nothing permanent except change” which can apply to both the short story “Freddie in the Shade” and the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” because in the poem it talks about nothing good can last. In the story Freddie and The Shade it is talking about Freddie’s life changing quickly. For example, as stated in the short story on page 22, “Freddie had known the truth. The summer before ninth grade, he had to leave the only neighborhood he’d ever known and all of his friends. On the first day of school he is the new kid, the different kid.”…

It is with words and phrases such as “sweet death” and “enduring life” that the author so vividly describes the contrast between a baby and his parents. The author uses his choice of vocabulary to effect the reader. He wants to make them truly understand what he is feeling, and what he is trying to make them feel as well. He also uses his word order to move the poem in certain directions.…

It was the winter of 1906 and the only thing that was present in the life of a middle-aged New Englander was failure. “After a near death experience with pneumonia that winter, this man turned to poetry as his only form of consolation” (Thompson 151). That man was Robert Frost. He was a loving father, husband, and friend. Frost was inspired by the sights around him, the people he met, and the experiences he had.…

Robert Frost tends to use a lot of nature imagery in most of his poems including both of these. Usually the nature imagery he uses has nothing to do with the true meanings of his poems. He is well known for using nature to describe a situation or place.…

As I was walking through the street, looking for something to eat as I was famished, I was amazed at the wealth of this coastal town. They had everything from saffron and silk clothes from the East and ivory from Africa.…
