Fire & Ice - Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

- Robert Frost


About the Author:

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was born in San Francisco, California. His father William Frost, a journalist and an ardent Democrat, died when Frost was about eleven years old. His Scottish mother, the former Isabelle Moody, resumed her career as a schoolteacher to support her family. 


Reflection:

i can make a text to self connections, because i would also prefer that the world ends in fire rather than ice. I can make text to text connections because in Ms.Babauta's class, we read a poem written by Robert Frost. I can also make text to world because, hell is just made out of fire.



TPCASTT:

Title: I thought the poem would be about Fire and Ice

Paraphrase: about the us people going to die in fire, and people on the other believing we would die in ice.

Connotation: neutral

Attitude: straight up

Shifts: there is a shift between the way we would die in fire and ice.

Title: mostly about fire and ice

Theme: not everybody thinks the same.
