Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.]]> 2017-04-04 23:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164753753 maddyje12 https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164753807 When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, ‘What is it?’
No, not as there is a time talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.]]> 2017-04-04 23:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164753807 maddyje12 https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164754316 " A Time to Talk" was published in 1920. "A Time to Talk" is a one stanza poem with ten lines. There is no particular rhyme scheme although there is rhyme within it. Due to this, the poem would be considered a free verse. There were many people and things that influenced Frost. One extremely important place that "played a more vital role in the poet’s life than this 30-acre farm with pasture, fields, woodlands, orchard and gentle spring" (Robert Frost Farm). The theme in the poem is to place work before friends. Another influential event in his lfe was when he and his wife "moved to England... after they failed at farming in New Hampshire"(poets.org).]]> 2017-04-04 23:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164754316 maddyje12 https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164754371 "Fire and Ice'' by Robert Frost was published in December of 1920. The theme of "Fire and Ice" is the destructive nature of human emotion. The poem was inspired by "Canto 32 of Dantes Inferno"  (modern american poetry). This is where traders were plunged, in a fiery Hell, up to their necks in ice.  An influential event on Frost's life was the death of his father when he was young. As well as the death of his wife inspiring him to share his poetry with the world. Essentially the simplistic meaning of the poem is the representation of the greatest problem the world faces, life and death. "Fire and Ice" is a single nine-line stanza, which is a irregular mix of an iambic tetrameter and dimeter. The rhyme scheme is A-B-A, A-B-C, B-C-B, through out the entire poem. ]]> 2017-04-04 23:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164754371 maddyje12 https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164754418 - Symbolism: When one object represents another;  "Fire" represents desire in human life, yet "ice" represents hate and resentment. (Frost 1-2)
-Personification: Giving human attributes to an inanimate object; "Fire and ice" are used to relate to the human emotions hate and desire, given human power/emotions. (Frost, title)
-Imagery: Using descriptive words to create a mental picture;  "From what i've tasted of desire," (Frost, 3) this quote shows how Frost feels and describes desire.
- Alliteration- Repeating of an initial sound;  " Fire Favour" (Frost, 4) These words begin with the same initial letter.
-Paradox: a contradictory statement, that actually reveals some element of truth;  " But if i had to perish twice," (Frost,5) For you can not die twice, but emotionally you can.
- Repetition: A word, sound, or phrase that is repeated; "Say in fire" "...In ice" (Frost,2-3) Frost repeats "fire" and " ice" several times throughout the poem

-Connotation: the association a word has n your mind; "mellow ground," (Frost, 7) this is an example of connotation because Frost wished to maintain a calm tone. Therefore, he used mellow rather than 'ripe' or 'mature.' 
-Personification: giving inhuman objects human attributes; "Into the mellow ground," (Frost, 7) This shows because the ground can not have the human emotion of mellow.
-Tone: An expression of the writers attitude(s); The tone through out the poem is joy and excitement from the "friendly visit"(Frost,10). 
-Alliteration: the repetition of a sound or initial consonant; "all the hills I haven’t hoed," (Frost, 4) this uses the initial sounds of 'h' repeatedly.
- Dialogue: speaking or conversation within a literary piece; "‘What is it?’,"(Frost, 5). Not many poets use dialogue within their poems, making Frost stand out.]]> 2017-04-04 23:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164754496 maddyje12 https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164756078 2017-04-04 23:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164756078 maddyje12 https://padlet.com/hunterwhite425/2yjtjvhy4hdh/wish/164764061 "Robert Frost."
