with his lover. On the other hand, Frost’s Choose Something Like A Star speaks to the reader, advising them to choose a guiding star to follow in life. Frost uses a metaphorical star to represent a moral compass, urging the reader to choose a path that aligns with their values. In terms of literary devices, Keats uses a sonnet structure with a volta, or turn, in the final two lines to express his desire for constancy. Frost, on the other hand, uses a looser structure with irregular rhyme and meter to convey a sense of freedom and individuality. Both poets use vivid imagery to describe the star, with Keats using celestial and natural imagery to convey the star’s beauty and Frost using earthly imagery to make the star more relatable to the reader. Overall, while both poems share a common theme of admiration for the star, they differ in their intended audience and the literary devices used to convey their message.
The death camp was a terrible place where people where killed. Hitler is who created the death camp for Jews. The death camp was used for extermination on Jews. This occurred on 1939 – 1945.

Comparing Take Something Like a Star by Robert Frost and Love Calls Us to the Things of This World by Richard Wilbur Robert Frost's "Take Something Like a Star" and Richard Wilbur's "Love Calls Us to the Things of This World" are two poems which both invoke the audience to become involved in life while taking inspiration and guidance from spiritual forces manifested in the visible world. Frost's poem uses Keat's "Bright Star" as a launching point for discussion while Wilbur recalls in his title a phrase from St. Augistine's Commentary on the Psalms; yet both authors present complete discussions without requiring from the reader a foreknowledge of the earlier works. For Frost the central image is a star, any star, whose illumination can
As a young mother that experienced post-partum depression, the poem “Daystar” by Rita Dove and “To a Daughter Leaving Home” by Linda Pastan were easy to relate to. Each of the poems successfully represented the positives and negatives of being a mother. Poetry was never exactly my thing; I hated trying to decipher the symbols in poems and never quite understood why it was okay to use incomplete sentences. Dove and Pastan each wrote about their experiences as mothers but stood on completely opposite sides on the emotional spectrum, ironically, I couldn’t agree more with both of them.
American poet, Robert Frost in his contemplative poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” illustrates that any beauty you come across in life only lasts a brief moment. He develops his message through metaphors an example being, “Nature’s first green is gold;” additionally, the reader can see use of personification bringing nature to life. Moreover, using the allusion to the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the sixth line is another example of how Robert Frost develops his message. Frost’s purpose is to make the reader understand the nature of beauty in life, so it is not taken for granted. He creates a reflective tone for readers by using stylistic and rhetorical devices such as metaphor, personification, and allusion in order to achieve his purpose.
When it comes to poetry there are various ways in which people interpret it. Depending on the person and his or her experiences a poem can hit a person a certain way, especially with a great poet such as John Keats, who has written a great amount of beautiful poems that fascinated the literature world. The great poetry he has written has left him as one of the greatest poets of all time. It is unfortunate that he deceased at such a young age considering he was at his prime when it came to writing poetry. Keats writing is brilliant and can really paint several images in the reader’s head. The way he was able to paint a vivid image by the use of symbolism and the metaphors he is able to incorporate into his poems.

Keats' Thoughts on Poetry in On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer Its difficult to determine whether "On first looking into Chapman's Homer" precisely mirrors Keats thoughts on poetry , unless you are able to understand his view point. To gain an insight into his mind and his thoughts on poetry, it is necessary to examine some of Keats letters , many of which are written to his friends and family. As well as everyday events, he uses his letters to express his thinking. In a letter written by Keats on 22 November 1817, he outlines his thoughts on poetry ' I am certain of nothing, but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the Imagination - What the Imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth - whether it existed before or not.
Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe two amazing poets, who created many well written poems, for instance “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening”, by Robert Frost and “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe. These two poems have many differences and similarities between them. A big difference between Frost and Poe is there back ground but this is also a similarity, how they took their real life situations and turned them into poetry.

... imagery, as both meanings could describe Keats longing, as he could wish to remain for as long as possible in the embrace of his lover, but also how he could wish to continue to hear her ‘tender-taken breath’, in which the alliteration portrays his lover as beautiful and inviting, further showing how Keats now prefers the life of reality. He forgets about the impossible, and being immortal and being alone, but rather embraces the temporary and exhilarating.
While Lord Byron's poem enhances the beauty of love, Keats' does the opposite by showing the detriments of love. In “She Walks in Beauty,” the speaker asides about a beautiful angel with “a heart whose love is innocent” (3, 6). The first two lines in the first stanza portray a defining image:
Nature is an important theme in every frost poem. Nature usually symbolizes age or other things throughout Frost’s poems. In lines 5-10 it says, “Often you must have seen them loaded with ice a sunny winter morning after a rain. They click upon themselves as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored as the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells.” This demonstrates how nature can sometimes symbolize something. Also in lines 29-33 it says, “ By riding them down over and over again until he took the stiffness out of them, and not one but hung limp, not one was left for him to conquer. He learned all there was to learn about not launching too soon.” In lines 44-48 it says, And life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig’s having lashed across it open. I’d like to get away from earth for a while.”
The only strong comparison between the poets, in terms of structure and technique, is that the meaning of their poems run much deeper then the specific words on a page. Even this can come as a contrast when looking at these three poems. “Home Burial,” by Frost is a fairly straightforward poem, written in dialogue, with the writer working as the narrator. The poem is about a married couple dealing wi...
This piece of the poem is full of the images of nature. The image of sun and the moon can be find throughout the whole work, but in this part it probably poses as a symbol of rationality and intellect. Its function differs from the function of the moon and its light shines its rays of light on things to make them clearer, more comprehensible and earthly. T...
"Bright Star" contains lofty, formal kinds of words such as "thou art" and "splendor hung aloft" to show reverence toward the star. Keat's specific word choices also contribute to the theme of the poem that man wishes happiness would last forever. Comparing the star to an eye with "eternal lids apart" brings to mind God, who is connected with eternity and happiness and the sky or heavens. The star is also compared with a hermit wich brings to mind silence, holiness, and solemnity. The word "ripening" connotes life, and the speaker wishes to enjoy the best of life "forever."
