The poet used personification, metaphors, symbolism, synecdoche and refrain to compare the cycle of nature with cycle of life. The main message of this poem tells us that with all the different effects that we cause to nature, eventually nature will dissolve us, our experiences and ideas and continue on its path. The Persona in this poem is the poet himself who gives us different images from a town and it’s sea shore .In the first line of the first stanza “The tide rises, the tide falls “(l.1), the poet is talking about a repeating cycle in nature. By paying close attention, we see that at the end of all three stanzas in this poem, Longfellow used refrain by repeating the same line.

In stanza two the tone is definite.
In the poem, the speaker speaks in a soliloquy to describe a memory permeated in his mind or"inward eye" (22). He tells of a scene while "wandering" along a lake area surrounded by hills and valleys, and while the time of day is not mentioned, it would be wise to assume its daytime, since it would be utterly difficult to spot anything at night in a valley surrounded by hills. Most of the poem -except for the last stanza-is written in the past tense; however, when the poem reaches it climax (17-20) the speaker shifts to a conditional tense. From that line forward, he speaks of his motivation, which is the" wealth" (18) he would obtain from recalling the beauty of the daffodils in his idle time. In the poem the speaker "wandered" lonely (1) along hills and valleys and was smitten by a large gathering of daffodils under trees by a lake "fluttering and dancing" (7).
Setting: Greasy Lake Essay Setting: Greasy Lake by T. Coraghessan Boyle In his short story “Greasy Lake,” T. Coraghessan Boyle employs the setting to reflect the state of morality and corruption of a society’s youth, create an appropriate atmosphere, and better develop the characters of the story. Boyle is able to achieve this by centering the story at the Greasy Lake and utilizing the Lake as both a setting and character. Greasy Lake is described by the narrator in a deliberately appalling to the average reader. However, the narrator and his friends see the lake as the most favorable location to spend their days and late nights. The lake itself is described as “fetid and murky, the mud banks glittering with broken glass and strewn with beer cans and the charred remains of bonfires.” (130) However, as the narrator explains, the lake was not always like this but instead was named “Wakan” by “the Indians”, the name being “a reference to the clarity of its waters.” (130) The complete change of the lake since the time of the Indians, from clear to murky, exemplifies the corruption of the society’s morals, especially in contrast to the Native Americans who praised and looked after the land.
His poem captivates his readers or listeners and sends them on a fictional road that describes how each situations outcome may be altered by the choices being made and how a conclusion will be different every time. Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” illustrates the act of choosing and dealing with life’s “speed bumps”. According to the author of Journey into Literature R.Wayne Clugston, “Robert Frost’s lyrical style and masterful use of ordinary language and rural settings made his poetry delightful. Building on delight, he engaged in ironic inquiry to give expression to complex ideas and questions that define the human spirit” (as cited in Clugston, 2010, section 2.2) “The Road Not Taken” is easily comprehended because most people experience this identical state of mind dealing with day to day issues. Is this right or wrong?

However, the descriptions of scenery are added in by Hemingway to suggest detriment in the future of our two lovers, Nick and Marjorie.

The first change that White reflected upon was the tracks he walked when he was young.
Samantha Gill Short Paper Circle of Life: Nature Style Romantic Literature idolizes the natural elements of the world, otherwise known as nature.
