Ascham Analysis The observations of the sixteenth century scholar Roger Ascham examine the strangeness of winds that Ascham was able to observe through a snowfall. The purpose behind Toxophilus, the book in which this appears in is archery, which was a very important subject back in the ages of hunting for food. Ascham likely wrote about this experience in the snow to examine the intricacies of wind and how it can affect arrow accuracy, because arrow accuracy could’ve meant the difference…

Robert Frost had a political reference in the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay". He wrote about the ending of the world. That could have been one of the reasons he decided to title it that. He wrote about how when the end comes, that the Earth won't stay. He also could have been talking about childhood in his poem. When you are little, everything is new to you, and when it's not new anymore, it can be sad. The poem is a descriptive poem that could also be confessional because of his reference about…

Robert Frost wrote Nothing Gold Can Stay in 1923. Frost wrote this poem out of fear the word would end. He did not publish the entire poem and instead modified the first section. The first section was a featured in print. By not publishing the whole thing this makes me he was scared to voice his full opinion. Yes it was written in enhlish, and no,it was a single poem. a narative poem that compares nauture to reality. With him keeping it short he packs a lot into his 8 lines. "Nothing Gold Can…

In Andrew Marvell’s poem “Damon the Mower,” the protagonist describes his heartbreak after Juliana rejects him. Though readers never hear Juliana’s voice in the poem, Damon freely speaks of her thoughts and actions. His monopoly of narration allows him to exploit gender roles and tell his biased side of their story. He portrays Juliana as a masculine, superhuman creature by aligning her with the typically male Sun and describing her through the use of three symbolic gifts he gives to her.…
