In order to find the real meaning in this poem, you must not interpret in a literal sense. Shel says “And watch where the chalk-white arrows go to the place where the sidewalk ends,” meaning that if we are alert and aware, we can find our way back to childhood. What he is trying to tell us that we should leave the world of adulthood, to live again as children. In the last stanza, he says “Yes, we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, and we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go, for the children, they mark, and the children, they know the place where the sidewalk ends.” In that, he is telling us
Robert Lee Frost, one of the most highly esteemed poets of the twentieth century, was different from other writers of the Modern Period. He received four Pulitzer Prizes and forty-four honorary degrees (Pritchard). New England was Frost’s “solid rock” in his writings; therefore, nature shows up in a lot of his writings (Waggoner). His poetry expresses a common emotion and everyday experiences, and it is written in simple language that affects any common reader (Magill 716-728). Frost also used ambiguity in his writings which help people apply his writings to their life (Jason 1337).

Ethan's lie about getting the advancement on the lumber which led to the breaking of the pickle dish resulted in a series of events that spiraled downwards that ended in tragedy. The Varnum spruces are a symbol of fate, due to the recurring reference throughout the novel. The lone red sled at the conclusion of Chapter 9, is a symbol of Ethan and Mattie's fate of crashing into the elm tree. The lie that Ethan told Zeena about the advancement on the lumber is the start of Ethan's fate. The irony of the fact that if Ethan had really gone to Andrew Hale's to get the lumber, Ethan would not have been home, which would not have resulted in eating supper with Mattie and the breaking of the pickle dish.
God makes all things good. Therefore, God has good intentions as he makes the first humans, Adam and Eve. Now to blame one person for the fall of mankind does not seem right. It sounds irrational when someone takes a blame that he/she does not deserve. In John Milton’s Paradise Lost, it seems as though Eve causes humankind’s fall by eating from the tree of knowledge.
He then met a man who asked for directions and then afterwards he says that he “was lonely no longer. [he] was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler” (4). This quote suggests that he was still a bit weary about moving away by himself, but now he felt he was no longer by himself and was hopeful about the future he had in the West Egg. Fitzgerald later goes on to use sensory details and imagery to describe how he felt after he realized he was no longer alone. He first describes his surroundings with things such as “sunshine and great bursts of leaves growing on the trees” which convey happiness and fresh start (4).
That one is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When Eve comes along, Adam gives her the same advice. But because females, according to the author, are not intelligent or trustworthy, Eve fails in staying away from the tree. The serpent is the one responsible for tricking Eve. He tells her that the only reason God doesn’t want them to eat from that tree is because he doesn’t want anybody to gain knowledge of things.
In 1967 Geisel’s wife, Helen Palmer, dies after forty years together. By this point in Geisel’s life, he has written many books, served in World War I,and changed his penname to Dr. Seuss (Timeline). One year later, he married Audrey Stone Dimond, a life long friend of his and his former wife’s (Timeline).

That’s where the book gets into trouble. It is not factual enough. The story of the gods, Adam, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, suggests Quinn only knows half of what he’s talking about if even that. There are some aspects of it that can be agreeable. One might agree that the story of Knowledge of Good and Evil was written by the Leavers because the apple from the tree wasn’t thrust upon him if one agrees with what Quinn says in the book.
This story tells us of Adam and Eve and how mankind came to be like we are today, much like the Hebrew Bible. It tells us of their innocence in the Garden of Eden and how they quickly lost it due to Satan’s persuasiveness. Paradise Lost tells us how Eve was betrayed by a serpent-Satan- and how eating from the forbidden fruit tree made them lose their innocence. Once their innocence was lost, Adam and Eve covered their naked bodies and were sent out of the Garden of Eden. God told Adam of the sins that were in the future, and though rather than being scared, he was more looking on the bright side of his and Eve’s future together.
