The Environment In Robert Frost's Desert Places

This message of the novel Giver, shows perfection is not necessary to have a good life. In the beginning of the novel, Giver, it shows how following the rules only makes perfection for other people. On page 77-78 it says, “Then he shivered. He realized that the touch of the hands felt, suddenly, cold. At the same instant, breathing in, he felt the air change, and his very breath was cold.

From the moment this novel begins there is evidence of Holden’s desire to protect the innocent, and innocence in itself (Graham, 2007: 39). The first demonstration of this desire of Holden’s, is his inability to throw the snowball he makes at anything in the street because it would disturb the purity of the snow. “I didn’t throw it at anything, though. I started to throw it. At a car that was parked across the street.

He also writes "an ash-pile made by many fires" (p.18) This shows that many men must have walked through this road to enter a lonely and miserable life, moving from ranch to ranch finding useless work. I think all the people living in the ranch are lonely. This proves this where Steinbeck

Edith Matilda Thomas, in her vehement sonnet “Winter Leafage,” asserts that we should not “cling” to our past. To develop her claim, Thomas begins by first using imagery to describe a tree that refuses to let go of summer; the tree is “dry, wan, and shivering” in the winter weather because it is clothed in garments that are meant for the summer and this serves to show that by holding onto the past, we fail to live in the present; second, the tree is compared to a “palsied miser” and this reveals how pointless it is for the tree to be holding onto something that has passed; third, personification is used when the tree is said to “sigh, moan, and sing,” which makes a connection between the tree and humans so that it can better be understood that

In stanza 12, line 5, the poem reads: "...this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore." shows his loneliness and he can feel the presents of a ghost of the dead. The writing tells you that the writer was in a sad, dark, place, even depressed just wanting Lenore to be there with him.'. The setting takes place in the chamber, probably the library or study room of his rich uncle with lost of books around him sitting there reading books trying to get his mind of Lenore when he falls asleep. It is a cold, gloomy, winter day in December which makes the narrator even more lonely and depressed because December is cold, dreary, and the end of a long year.

Loneliness of the Heart Have you ever felt so at loss of happiness that all you can think about is your unhappiness? Well, then this is the poem for you. Everyone goes through hardships, such as grief for losing someone, like how our narrator is at a loss of words because he has recently been departed of his love Lenore. He is overcome with desolation that he is up “upon a midnight” (1) while feeling “weak and weary” (1). Then there is someone (or rather something) at the door.

The basic detail of this poem are that things do not stay beautiful forever no matter what they are, meaning he left out that his message was the world was going end because he knew it might freak some people out. Nothing Gold Can Stay expresses any cultural details such as the behavior, dress or speech habits of a particular group or a historical period or event. Nothing Gold Can Stay is an example of reality. Frost seems like he feels very strongly about the world ending, and it may have the readers feeling very tense or scared about what message he's trying to get out. The theme of Nothing Gold Can Stay is about nature, and things changing.

“He knew that a fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter” (111). Under normal circumstance spit does not freeze in the air nor does on the ground. Since it did both that tells us as peers, he is in a dangerous environment where he shouldn’t travel alone.

Without the creepy settings, the stories would not be as scary. In “Fall of the House of Usher”, Poe uses words to create a terrifying castle surrounded by dead trees and an overall sense of dread and death. “…With the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit.” The setting plays a great role in this story because the house is connected to Mr. Usher. Usher is a broken man, with a depression that reflects on the depression of the house.

Pathetic fallacy, is used to compare him to ‘wind that blew’ as it shows scrooge to be predictable and unwanted like wind which is undesirable during winter- with the exception that Scrooge is undesirable seasonally. Moreover as readers we infer that Scrooge is worse than wind as he is ‘bitterer’, this superlative shows that he exceeds the unpleasantness of wind, which doesn’t make the readers view him as a protagonist as the above isn’t the typical trait of one. Additionally, ‘no pelting rain less open to entreaty [than he]’, suggests that just as you couldn't ask the rain to stop falling, you couldn’t ask him to do something for you; neither the rain nor he will be open to such requests. Nature would not heed your cries, and he would heed them even less as he is ‘less open
