Plato said, The appetites or the passions may gain
control of him and refuse to obey the dictates of
his highest part, reason or mind. (Frost 131) If
this is so what was Ford Motor Company so hungry
for in the early 1970 s to knowingly sell
thousands of unsafe cars to its customers? Yes, we
can all agree that the foreign automakers were
taking a big chunk out of the American industry
with its fuel-efficient compact cars. We can even
understand the concept of Ford wanting to produce
its own compa...

Stopping By Woods Woods On A Snowy Evening
435 words
Clearly committing Frost to another stanza of
interlocking rhymes rather than permitting him to
conclude with a flourish, the draft of the last
quatrain would have left the poem open-ended. But
Frost wanted an ending that was definite in terms
of technique yet ambiguous in terms of meaning.
Twenty-eight years after writing "Stopping by
Woods on a Snowy Evening, " he revealed his
difficulty to Charles Madison: "I might confess
the trade secret that I wrote the third line of
the last stanza of Sto...

Poem Bright Star Author Uses Apostrophe Speaker
470 words
In the poem Bright Star by John Keats the author
uses apostrophe when speaking to the star. He

that he does not want to have. In the first eight
lines he sees the star as something holy and
chaste. Keats describes the moving water as priest
like, and the star as an eremite. The narrator
does not desire these qualities. He wants instead
to be forever with his lover. The narrator is also

Things That Happen Anglo Saxons
2,437 words
The Anglo-Saxon society was a combination of the
Jutes, the Anglo's, and the Saxons. It was through
this combination that the values of this one
culture evolved. Anglo-Saxons lived their lives
according to values such as masculine orientation,
transience of life, and love for glory.
Contradictory to the belief that the Anglo-Saxons
values are outdated, one will find when taking a
closer look that most of the values are, in fact,
still present in today s society. Most of the
literature from that ...

many characteristics that can be compared to
number of different things. Love is supposed to be
everlasting, true and forever. Infatuation is a
short period of time where you think its love, but

both can also be fatal. It all depends on how deep
and involved you get into them. In a sense, the

Poem Bright Star Author Uses Apostrophe Speaker

Poems Contrasted Bright Star and Choose Something
Like a Star are two poems very different in form
and theme. The theme in Bright Star is that when
in love nothing is more beautiful than your lover.
While the theme of Choose Something Like a Star is
that humans need to be individuals. However these
two poems do have a few things such as subject and
apostrophe, in common. In the poem Bright Star by
John Keats the author uses apostrophe when

Life And Death Apple Picking

After Apple-Picking In the poem After
Apple-Picking, Robert Frost has cleverly disguised
many symbols and allusions to enhance the meaning
of the poem. One must understand the parallel to
understand the central theme of the poem. The
apple mentioned in the poem could be connected to
the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden. It
essentially is the beginning of everything earthly
and heavenly, therefore repelling death. To

Choices And Decisions Roads Diverged

Explication of a Poem When reading The Road Not
Taken, by Robert Frost, I found that it was
personal, especially to the author. The fact that
it was written in first person form helped me to
conclude that it was probably about the author. I
think the reasoning behind his writing of this
poem was because in life, you have many obstacles
to overcome and many choices and decisions to
make, which opens a path that leads the way to
your future. Since those things relate to Frost, I
think it motivated...
