Wind And Window Flower By Robert Frost

With an overwhelming amount of power, humanity becomes lost in the desire to control. In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel and the connection “A Spring Morning” by Ida Fink, both authors demonstrate a common theme of dehumanization by using literary devices such as: specific diction, symbolism and tone.

Although everyone is their own individual, society determines who is considered “normal.” In Flowers for Algernon, Charlie Gordon struggles to fit in with the people around him because of his mental illness. Elie Wiesel faces the same struggles while trying to survive in a concentration camp in Night. Charlie and Elie have both been challenged by the concept of identity. In Flowers for Algernon and Night, these characters have faced many conflicts including not having their identity accepted by society, having insecurities about their identity, and being mistreated based on their identity.

The characters’ lost opportunities are shown in both poems, which makes their situation more of an injustice. It is discussed more in Disabled with flashes to past and present, generally alternating in a regular pattern. By juxtaposing the past and the present, he emphasises both of them. This makes the past seem more perfect and the present seem even worse, thus making the reader sympathise with the character more. For example, in the third stanza he says that there was an artist silly for his face and then, in the same stanza, he says that he has now lost his colour. This contrasts how handsome he was to now when he no longer fits the ideals of beauty, as both of the phrases are in the same syndetic field they are compared to each other. Colour is a metaphor for life/youth, as it makes the reader imagine rosy-cheeked children. This shows that he has lost his youth much like everything else was taken away from him by the war. This blood imagery links to death in both not only showing physical loss but loss of life (or life as he knew it in Disabled) much like everything else was taken away from him by the war. This is similar to how in Out, Out-; Frost describes the boy trying to keep his life from spilling. He uses life as a metaphor for the blood.

The poet also evokes sympathy and compassion in us through her powerful descriptions of the girl 's fragile state of mind. Her perceptions of how she looks and what is important have been warped by anorexia. We might conclude that perhaps her husband has left her as she used to wear a 'gold band ' and the final lines tell us that 'it 'll be worth it to see his face. ' This causes us to consider that perhaps she wants the man in her life who has left her to see her now that she has controlled her weight. Her mental condition does not allow her to see that she is not attractive. She strives to have some kind of control over her life and thinks that controlling her eating is doing this, whereas the opposite is true. This idea is further developed by her use of personification in 'going where the wind dictates. ' This image emphasise just how powerless she is- she has no control over where she goes as she is so

Robert Frost’s poem “Home Burial,” written in 1914, centers around the conversation of a married couple whose relationship is struggling after the death of their young child. A duality in meaning exists in the poem’s title, “Home Burial,” which references not only the death of their child but also the death of their marriage. Is the child’s death the sole cause of their marital distress? Robert Frost opens the poem in the couple’s home with the husband watching as his wife, Amy, begins to descend the staircase (1-2). After a few verses, the audience has become witnesses to the marriage’s descent into nothingness. The child’s grave lies forever in the background, framed by a small window at the top of the stairs (Frost 24-31). In Robert Frost’s “Home Burial”, the marriage of Amy and her husband is irreparable due to differences in expression, acceptance, and perception.

Wind whistles through the trees, disturbing the branches of fallen leaves. It flows without course or grace and is seemingly uncontrollable in its force. Indeed the wind is almost as uncontrollable as the man who fights in the name of freedom. The man who fights far away from home, and so close to death. Yet this man does not look upon it such as he that stands at its shores. The old man with much time behind him and not enough before him does not wither at the high tides of death. Robert Frost, Lord George Gordon Byron, and Lord Tennyson Alfred each hold a niche in the history of poetry. Frost, renowned for his display of ordinary situations in poetry, Lord Byron for his grasp of satire and the European imagination, and Lord Alfred for his unconventional approach to poetry. In analysing “The Aim Was Song,” “Stanzas,” and “Crossing the Bar” by each author, similar style and implication can be found. The rhyme scheme used by the authors contributes to an observation of humanity while also helping the poem maintain its own sincerity.

Robert Frost’s poetic techniques serve as his own “momentary stay against confusion,” or as a buffer against mortality and meaninglessness in several different ways; in the next few examples, I intend to prove this. Firstly, however, a little information about Robert Frost and his works must be provided in order to understand some references and information given.

In Robert Frost’s poem “To the Thawing Wind,” in the literal sense, he is asking the Southwest wind to come, melt the snow and bring spring, but symbolically he is tired of the winter and wants warm weather. He wants to burst out of his cabin and have a good time, not thinking about poetry. The poet has been confined in his winter cabin and is wanting the wind and rain to melt the snow, so it will change his winter isolation. He has been longing for the “thawing wind” because that is when spring is coming. He is anticipating spring to come because it will bring him inspiration and the freedom needed to be able to do new things and enjoy everything good that comes with this season.

Robert Frost’s “New Hampshire” is not only is one of his longest poems but it also shows many different ideas that Frost may have had during his time in New Hampshire. The ideas presented in this poem range from poem styles to differences between states, advantages of being in New Hampshire, and even glimpses into the life of Robert Frost.

The poem describes the weather and its effect on cotton flower by pointing out the dying branches and vanishing cotton. The image of insufficiency, struggle and death parallel the oppression of African American race. The beginning of the poem illustrates the struggle and suffering of the cotton flower; which represent the misery of African Americans and also gives an idea that there is no hope for them. But at the end the speaker says “brown eyes that loves without a trace of fear/ Beauty so sudden for that time of year” (lines 13-14). This shows the rise of the African American race, and their fight against racism. The author used mood, tone and

Robert Frost 's “Acquainted with the Night” is about a man who frequently journeys out at night and roams about the city alone. He is familiar with the atmosphere around him and it’s apparent he has wandered far beyond the city. Throughout the poem the speaker does not communicate with anyone and a sense of silence and suspense pervade his walks. It is understood that the speaker is very lonely on his walks and often finds himself hoping someone would call out to him. As the speaker strolls through the dark city streets midst the night, it’s evident that he is deeply troubled and dismal as the poem develops a gloomy, dejected tone.

The poem “Out, Out” describes an incident happening in rural Vermont where a boy accidentally cut his hand working in his own yard with a ‘buzz saw’. The Poet uses the imagery method to create an impact on his narration. He starts with the setting of this poem describing adequately the firm and yard in the backdrop of rural Vermont. The setting includes details like describing the “five mountain ranges” (Frost 12) visible clearly from the yard - during sunset time depicting almost end of the day. Frost also uses the method of personification in this poem which describes any non-living object as if having a life.

The man notices her, he couldn't help but notice her. Who knows how many windows he has breezed by with flowers in them and kept on moving. For some reason, probably due to the beauty of this particular flower, he had to return to see her. The man knew nothing of love. He was " concerned with ice and snow, dead weeds and unmated birds, and little of love could know" (14-16). This gives an example of what the breeze was experienced to in his life.

The Prelude affords one of the best approaches to Wordsworth's poetry in general and to the philosophy of nature it contains. The prelude was written by Wordsworth's in 1799 and completed in 1805. The longest poem of Wordsworth, these are related to the old memories and imagination, specifically the memories of the year 1790, the prelude is lyrics and narrative in the same time. the prelude is a group of childhood memories spent poet who lives the whole nature of the poem related to nature.The poet was related to nature he found his faith in himself and nature.

Robert Frost said many times throughout his life that all men share a common bond. In his poem “The Tuft of Flowers” he analyzes the potential of such a bond, in first person. Frost turns an everyday common job, into discovering a common bond with another laborer. The author uses a comparison between aloneness with a sense of understanding to demonstrate his theme of unity between two men. In another one of Frost’s poems “Birches” he imagines walking through the woods looking at all the trees, and seeing the top bending towards the ground. When he sees this he imagines they are bending from kids swinging on them, rather then what is really happening to them. It can be analyzed that Frost had a very definitive appreciation for nature, and a very broad imagination.
