I stood up in the grassy clearing. Hoarfrost still covered the pine trees, and I could feel the cold pulling me into its cold embrace. I blew into my hands, trying to keep warm. The first thing I noticed was a small sack, wreathed in a vague, shining glow. I bent down towards it, and a small pop-up materialized in front of my eyes. Bag (not searched) I opened the bag, and the popup vanished. Two screens appeared in front of me. On one screen, four squares. Two of them were occupied by a dagger…

(My POV) I gripped Winter Stream's saddle tightly. She looked down at the Swirling waves below. She knew that if she fell, it would be the death of her. She shook the thought away and looked ahead. Fog was swirling just beyond a sea stack close by, blocking her view of the islands that were nearby. The expedition was about to start and everyone was anxious. I looked over to Flower and she signaled and to begin the expedition. Everyone took off in the direction of the sea stack ahead. I followed…

“Acquainted with the Night,” is another popular work of Frost’s packed full of figurative language starting with the title of the poem. The word “night” is a metaphor for darkness, which can be interpreted as loneliness or depression. The speaker appears to be well acquainted with feelings of sadness. Frost can personally identify with this sense of being surrounded by darkness as he unfortunately endured heavy tragedy in his life: prematurely losing all but two of his six children followed by…

In Steven Monte’s “Analysis of ‘Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening’” Monte not only explains his views of the poem but pursues many deeper implications. Monte’s essay is a different way to write analysis because his thesis is not only a deeper meaning of the poem but a deeper meaning of life, shown !!!. Monte brings his ideas of “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” to be just like life. This idea of Montie’s tells us that “Pausing and reflecting” in the poem is a similar event that…

foundation of human existence. Humans are prone to falling victim to nature’s temptation. For instance, we fall prey to the majestic beauty of a sunset, or the exquisite scenery at the Grand Canyon. In Robert Frost’s poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, “Stopping by Woods” is a gratuitous action, a grace note, and imaginative possibility” (Ingebretsen 2). Nature can certainly be described as the “siren of the sea”, alluring the speaker to become corrupted by nature’s mysterious trait.…

Charlotte Bronte has given every destination a new unique name, which compliment the culture and regulations of the nineteenth century. Although none of the places she’s given names to are true, it’s one the mediums to make the plot interesting and relatable ( Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfeild, Moorhouse, Ferndean). Charlotte Bronte seems to have experienced living in these Northern England places herself because she is able to describe the sky, vegetation and ambience perfectly “iron sky of winter,…

I would compare “In The Woods” to “The Maze Runner.” Both books are about a main character that had something happen to them when they were young and they don’t know what happened or how to explain it. In “The Maze Runner,” the main character can’t remember anything about his past or his childhood, while “In The Woods,” the main character had an unexplainable event happen to him when he was young. In each of the books, there is a place that is mysterious and know of the characters know a lot…

Saddling a Horse One of my favorite things to do to clear my head is to saddle up and go for a horseback ride. Before one goes on a ride, the horse must be saddled properly. First, it must be brushed. This step is important because if the loose hair is not removed, the horse may try to do it himself, flinging the rider to the ground. After the horse is brushed, a saddle pad is placed on the horse’s back. The placement of the pad is critical for the comfort of the horse; it should be centered on…
