Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

“Mending Wall” was first published in 1914 in the second collection of Robert Frost. The poem brings out the comparison of two different kinds of people with different personalities which in this poem are neighbors. The two neighbors have different perspectives regarding the fence but they annually meet and repair the wall once it's destroyed by nature every spring. The speaker believes that the wall is not important but he's the one who initiates the repair of the fence. The neighbor keeps on…

The leaves are falling while the wind rustles through them. The sounds of cars passing by and people rushing into buildings due to the cold-chilled air. In the poem To Autumn by John Keats, John Keats uses imagery to describe how the season autumn represents the early stages of life. Then towards the end, John Keats also uses imagery to represent the ending or death. Although John Keats uses imagery to describe autumn, John Keats uses the imagery elements to show the progression of autumn and…

type=P&id=19095 When I look at the painting, it makes me feel happy and amazed with the variety of colors he has used. It shows a couple walking in the night with their dog. It’s not only a normal walk rushing to a place but a short walk in the evening somewhere in the park close by just to turn off from the world and spend quality time with the spouse/partner. Without friends or children. Mainly during the night, these places are very quiet and not many peoples around which make it more…

Identity is like a bird’s choice of migrating to the south for the cold weather. It is someone’s opinions, claims, or choice on one’s personality, family, and culture. The bird or other animal flying to the south for the chillier weather made the choice to decided if it would stay near the cold and risk getting injured or hurt, or if the bird would fly to the south to the warmer, safer weather. This is an example of how one’s identity is created: through your environment, background, and status.…

The natural landscape and the setting of the story serve as a metaphor for Ann’s sense of isolation. The location of John and Ann’s house is in an isolated setting, therefore miles away from any possible sign of life. The “snow” around the house, like an “impassable trap” encloses their house, confining them physically. The barren, unlively, “snowswept farmyard” further surrounds them every winter, leaving Ann and John to be each other’s only sense of human connection. Not only does the natural…

realization. “Desert Places” and “Acquainted with the Night” are poems written by poet Robert Frost. “Desert Places” is about a person who goes into a snow covered field at night and who feels like they don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. The woods would still be…

Romantic Poets write about life, death and, nature to express how they are feeling about the idea they are writing about. Romantic poets use figurative language to help understand the theme they are trying to imply through their poems. In “The Cross of Snow” by Longfellow, and “The First Snowfall’ by Lowell, both authors develop different themes, but they write about a similar topic and use similar poetic devices to integrate their theme into their writing. In the poem “The First Snowfall,”…

“The night draws down. The baby has a cold. Here, take this blanket, it’s wool. It was my mother’s blanket―take it for the baby. This is the thing to bomb. This is the beginning―from ‘I’ to ‘we’” (152). This statement used by Steinbeck marks the transition from “I” to “we” in the novel, where people stop thinking about just themselves and start thinking about others in the exact same situation as them. They begin to learn that they’re not the only ones struggling to find jobs, earn money, and…

While reading novels and books, the reader's emotions will be set on a rollercoaster. If you had to illustrate the feelings you get while reading “On the Lake” by Olaf Olafsson, you would probably be illustrating a frozen ice pond, with you walking on the slippery surface. Suddenly you notice that the surface is cracking with every single step you take. Step after step the cracks become more and more pronounced, and you can only think of two things. First thing being reaching safety, while the…
