Although Robert Frost appeals to the common man, he gives a deeper meaning in most of his poems. In the poem there are many sound devices such as a rhyme scheme, consonance, and alliteration. In line one, Frost says “world will.” The repeating of the W sound gives alliteration. He also gives another example at the end of line four when he ends it with “favor fire.” In line six, Frost shows consonance by saying, “think I know enough” with the repeating sound of the consonant N. Along with his poetic devices, he also has a rhyme scheme which appeals to the reader and makes it easy to read and connect to the narrator. Frost’s poem centralizes around the metaphors of fire and ice.

The song Now in Our Lives is more relaxed and romantic compared to his other quick, strong be-bop songs. The majority of the song consists of low, sluggish melodies. However, there are many parts throughout the song that have many fast notes played. There are quite a few changes in rhythm throughout the piece which stimulates the piece. There’s a nice piano, bass and drum accompaniment that help to establish the laid-back feel of the music.
Romanticism is really cool. With literature it deals with nature, psychology, the supernatural, freedom, emotions, and other neoclassical ideas. It’s a shame the stories given were tedious because they display characteristics of romanticism. Anyways, the authors of the two stories used said characteristics to develop the themes of their stories. My mission is to explain how by using examples from the text.
The poem ‘A Hand’ appears quite a simple poem at first glance, only being eighteen lines long, and the majority of these lines are quite short, however after having read the poem there appears to be a much deeper aspect, to this simplistic looking poem. Poet Rosanna Warren has said: ‘Her poems appear simple, and are not.’ This could be suggestive that the hand is seen to be somewhat simple, and has no other purpose to it rather that something humans take for granted in their lives, but always hinting at the other purpose of meaning of ‘A Hand‘.

Shrouded Sorrow Robert Frost is known for writing about the beauty and majesty of New England. Although on first read this seems to be just another one of these simple poems, he actually uses breaks, cadence, figurative language, and a flexible persona in his poem “Never Again Would Birds’ Song be the Same” to deal with death and grief in his life. Without multiple stanza common to many poems, Frost had to rely on end-stops and enjambments to create meaning through breaks just as we must rely on them to interpret his meaning. More than half the poem uses enjambment; however, this brings emphasis to the end-stopped lines. Whenever Frost end-stops a line, the next seems to to take on a tone of mild opposition.

There was definitely a chorus that was offset by multiple spoken/sung verses. I was disappointed that I could not hear any foot stomping in these recordings.
