He became interested in reading and writing poetry in his high school years. He enrolled at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1892. Later he transferred to Harvard College. Although he went to college he never really got a formal college degree. In 1895, Frost married Elinor Miriam White who was a major inspiration for his poetry. They later moved to England in 1912 where Frost was inspired greatly by other British poets. "It was abroad that Frost met and was influenced by such contemporary British poets as Edward Thomas, Rupert Brooke, and Robert Graves."(poets.org) In 1915 Frost and his wife had returned to the United States. By that time, Frost had two full poems written. By 1920 Frost was one of the most popular poets in America. Frosts' work mainly focused on the life and landscape of New England. Robert Frost had remained in Boston teaching until he passed away on January 29, 1963. In 1970 another poet, Daniel Hoffman, did a review on Robert Frost. Daniel Hoffman stated "He became a national celebrity, our nearly official poet laureate, and a great performer in the tradition of that earlier master of the literary vernacular, Mark Twain.”(poets.org)]]> 2017-04-06 04:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165041722 Nothing Gold Can Stay By: Robert Frost derekkrohn11 https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165044075 Nature's first green is gold, 
Her hardest hue to hold. 
Her early leafs a flower; 
But only so an hour. 
Then leaf subsides to leaf. 
So Eden sank to grief, 
So dawn goes down to day. 
Nothing gold can stay.

  • Metaphor- a comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as". "Natures first green is gold."(Frost, 1) Frost is comparing nature to gold. In the spring, when everything begins to bloom, all of the flowers begin to bud which are the color gold. 
  • Figurative Language- writing or speech not meant to be interpreted literally. "Nature's first green is gold."(Frost, 1) This is a metaphor and is not supposed to be taken literally. It is just being used as a comparison to help the audience understand it more.
  • Implication- a suggestion an author or speaker makes (implies) without stating it directly. "Nothing gold can stay."(Frost, 8) Frost is trying to say that nothing good lasts forever

"Her early leafs a flower; but only for an hour."(Frost, 3-4) He uses a flower as an example. For a certain part of the year, they are beautiful but for the other part of the year, they die and are nothing but weeds. The theme of this poem would be time. Nothing lasts forever, especially the beautiful things. This type of poem is called a octave. An octave is when a poem has eight lines. The reason Frost wrote this poem is because he wanted to make the moment he was living last longer. "He wants to hold on to this hour, to stretch it out as far as he can, even though he knows Time, the enemy, will win out in the end."(theimaginativeconservative.org)]]> 2017-04-06 06:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165048350 Fire and Ice By: Robert Frost derekkrohn11 https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165050734 Some say the world will end in fire,
    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.]]>     2017-04-06 06:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165050734     Literary Terms for "Fire and Ice" derekkrohn11 https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165051621
  • Mood- feeling created in the reader by a literary work. "Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice."(Frost, 1-2) The mood of this poem is very dark. All this poem talks about is how the world is going to end.
  • Speaker- the voice that "talks" to the reader. "I think I know enough of hate."(Frost, 6) When the author uses the word "I", it is easy to tell that the author himself is the speaker.
  • Narrator- the one who tells the story. "I hold with those who favour fire."(Frost, 4) The narrator is a lot like the speaker. The narrator is the one who tells the story and in this case the narrator and the speaker are the same person.

One way it can end is in fire and the other way it can end is in ice. "The alternatives in the title represent passion and hatred, two ways of destroying the world."(english.illinois.edu) The theme of this poem would be fear because Robert Frost is talking about how the world will end. "Frost derived inspiration for "Fire and Ice" from "Inferno," one of the three divisions of Dante’s monumental epic poem, The Divine Comedy."(cummingstudyguides.net) Robert Frost was inspired by the book "Inferno" which was a story about hell. This could be another reason for why the theme is fear. He is scared of hell which caused Frost to write the poem about the world ending.]]> 2017-04-06 17:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165207736 Works Cited derekkrohn11 https://padlet.com/derekkrohn11/ehem1qtrwk4d/wish/165213356
