Robert Burns

Robert frost and Edwin Arlington Robinson were two of the greatest american poets ever. Both of these poets were not able to make money instantly by doing what they loved though. Both poets went to Harvard but neither acquired a college degree. Frost attempted to live off the land and farm but that did not work out too well and he moved to England “ The couple moved to England in 1992, after they tried and failed at farming in New Hampshire” (Robert Frost bio). In England Frost met Ezra Pound…

Robert Frost’s “Design” Robert Frost has always been one of my favorite poets. The excellent poem “Design” written by this great scientist poet has many examples of figurative language, like similes and imagery. Also, the theme of this poem is very inspiring and meaningful. First, Robert Frost uses numerous similes in his sonnet “Design”. For example, in the third line of the first stanza it says, “like a white piece of rigid satin cloth” describing the moth as white is telling that its pure.…

The poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost, relates the behavior of Nature to the real events that happen in life. The theme of the poem, acknowledges the fact that nothing very beautiful or wonderful can stay forever. This portrays in the whole poem, meaning that each and every sentence ties into the theme. In the very first sentence itself, Frost starts with the sentence, which is an alliteration and a metaphor, “green is gold”. This takes the idea to the stage where we are compelled to…

The Frozen Outcast When we look at life situations from our one and only perspective, we don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. It is impossible for us to view things from the point of view of anyone other than ourselves. Within the poem “Boy at the Window,” Richard Wilbur gives life to this expression, while showing us two poems in one. Wilbur uses point-of-view, along with personification, irony, and imagery, to make “Boy at the Window” the poem it is. This poem shows the…

Throughout Forests life he experienced many obstacles. These obstacles Forrest faced reflect too many people’s lives including mine. This movie reflects me because of the different feelings, adventures and the people we meet in life. The different feelings in the movie reflect to my life because we all feel love, sadness and happiness. This movie showed all these feelings. For example, when Forrest said “I’m not a smart man but I know what love is” to Jenny. When Forrest mother and his best…

Port of Call Port of Call, the French Quarter bar and grill was established in 1963 as a steakhouse. The restaurant is located on the historic and beautiful Esplanade Avenue in the French Quarter. Port of Call started out as a small quiet neighborhood restaurant open only at night. The menu consisted of primarily steaks. The chefs would grind up the steak scraps to make the hamburgers. Due to the chefs using steak scraps hamburgers were not a regular menu item. As time went on, Port of Call has…

Robert Frost has always been known for his commentary on the human condition, especially as it touches into the darker aspects of life. One of the best examples of this would be “Acquainted with the Night.” Reading the poem on its surface only paints the picture of someone who has walked through a city at nighttime. The repetition of the first and last line, however, signal that there is a greater meaning beyond the face value. The tone in those lines changes drastically, leading the reader to…
