.... (Frost 84). "He looks down the other to be fair." "Frost thinks he would heave a better claim." Frost thinks he would do better if he took the one less traveled. "The paths are wanted wear." He is saying no matter what which one, he goes he will have to take a path (Frost 84). I should say this doubtfully because I know where I am going. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." By taking this path Frost is saying he made the right choice to keep going and he didn't turn back. He took the path that people take less oft .....

.... reflect the evidence of the next line, "Nothing beside remains," that is, there is nothing left of the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good comparison may be when the author equates the passions of the statue's frown, sneer, and wrinkled lip to the "lifeless things" remaining in the "desart." Another is when Shelley compares the "Works" of with "Nothing beside remains." shows the reader that two things will mark the earth forever. First: the awesome power of mother nature is constant, everlasting and subject to .....

.... princess follows her code of noble action and is punished, the knight and maid undertake unchivalrous actions and are rewarded. Both the maid and knight follow the natural instinct that is ignored by Miranda. Faced with the same threat the maid and the knight both react in a logical manner. They see that there is little chance of being in any way triumphant over Faggon, and violate the code of nobility for something that is more important to them, their lives. As such they manage to survive and live out the rest of their lives in happiness, where the Princess is forced into a life of tor .....

.... wilt, swift-footed Time," acknowLedging priorly that in its fleet passage Time does "Make glad and sorry seasons. n For the first time one sees Time in other than a destructive capacity--in its cycLical change of seasons, some Time does "make glad" with blooming sweets. So the lover changes his epithet from devouring to swift-footed, certainly more neutral in tone. For now the lover makes his most assertive command: "But I forbid thee one most heinous crime. n The final quatrain finds the lover ordering Time to stay its antic "antique pen" from aging or marring his love. It is a heinou .....

.... eventually leads to the destruction of the first black cat, Pluto. The man felt the need to escape from Pluto even though the animal was one of his most beloved pets. His wife and the second cat are being run from merely for the disturbing conscious that they provide for him. Bizarre and unusual plots are often found in the Romantic period, and Poe does not hold back in his efforts. To deliberately cut the cats eye out of its socket is both bizarre and unusual regardless of being intoxicated or not. Even further, to hang the cat by a noose is ranked borderline for insanity. But the .....

.... grinding stone on top of his head at the age of six. His master, Robert Mumford, tried to break his pride constantly by exerting harsh and swift punishments. He possessed no civil rights and in the eyes of the law he was not a “person”. His masters were oft to treat him with inhumane cruelty. Similar to Venture Smith’s life growing up in the slavery system, Douglass witnessed brutal beatings given by slave owners to women, children, and the elderly. Young Frederick was grossly mistreated and it did not get any better until he was sent to live with Mrs. Auld and her husband. Mrs. .....

.... were already here and the whites treated them like they were intruders on the whites’ land. This, in some ways, was like slavery. Slaves were not respected. They were treated like animals and they had no way to defend themselves. Their culture was not respected and if they even spoke one word of being treated like a citizen they could be killed on the spot. Whites brought black slaves over to the US like they were imported animals. Both the natives and the slaves were not noticed as a people. It was like they did not exist (in the whites' eyes). Rose also writes “my seeds are ste .....

.... but ourselves and immortality.”(3) It is my opinion that the speaker in this poem exemplified the voice of all people. She ‘could not stop for death’ as none of us really believe we can or that we have the time. Most people die unexpectedly and are not ready to stop everything they have and want to do just to cease living. By riding with death, she fools herself into thinking that she is not dead. She has found immortality by riding along with death. Death does not come quickly. Rather, it arrives with a menacing slowness. She has ridden with him and is now reflecting upon her we .....

.... to which this poem was intended is very important because it can drastically change the meaning of the poem, and has therefore been debated among the critics. While most critics believe that the audience changes from men, to women, then to a single woman, or something along those lines, Gregory Machacek believes that the audience remains throughout the poem as "two women who have discovered that they are both lovers of the speaker and have confronted him concerning his infidelity" (1). His strongest argument is that when the speaker says, "I can love her, and her, and you and you," .....

.... urged on us, have accepted as our own. It's not a philosophical or psychological blueprint; it's an instrument for embodied experience. But we seek that experience, or recognize it when it is offered to us, because it reminds us in some way of our need. After that rearousal of desire, the task of acting on that truth, or making love, or meeting other needs, is ours. (Smith 590) Thus, Rich highlights poetry's ability to connect with what many people believe to be--in contrast to restricted cultured disciplines such as poetry--"real life." In pointing to our common "struggle for existe .....
