Master Speed
Robert Frost’s poem “The Master Speed” of becoming better and going past what one thought they could. There is the common theme of sea and sky. No matter where someone is social or physically they can always do something more and become an even better person than they were before. Also that stopping can be a good thing; not everything in life needs to be so fast. Lastly always try to connect and bond with those around one as one can also help they be a better person too. Always strive to be the best one can, because if one keeps going there is no limit on how good of a person one can be.
No speed of wind or water rushing by. (Line 1) Back up a stream of radiance to the sky. (3) Together wing to wing and oar to oar. (14) All this lines have sea and sky to help complete them. It is an indirect comparison with them. On lines 1 and 14 the sky comes first. This means that the sky is not only literally higher, but also as being a better place to be morally. One line 3 it represents someone who was in the sea or a bad place morally doing what they can to rise up and be the best they can. This also means if the skies the limit, then one could keep going until something greater holds it back. Knowing to push past limits is what is trying to be portrayed by these lines. “But in the rush of everything to waste,

Reflect at what has happened and help get where one needs to go and help others. Not letting the fast paced lives that most people experience every day cloud one’s thinking. Stopping and thinking can be the difference between a victory and a loss on the sports field or in the face of life or death If that time to think is a few days or less than a second. Even the fastest of things must slow down. The Fastest boat when 318 MPH, and it started from zero, the bottom, nothing. The Fastest aircraft went about 7,000 MPH and just like the boat it started from zero, but was able to climb to much higher

    Night Reflection Essay

    When we think we can't push anymore, we can push a little harder. When we think we're done, we're not. Our society has grown up under the impression that we aren't good enough, we're not strong enough, or we're not fast enough. So ever since I've heard that, I have pushed harder than I thought was possible, pushed past the limit. However at the same time it also personally impacts me because in the concentration camps they had to persevere, a lot. And I can relate a lot to perseverance because I have grown up swimming and the hard practices take a lot of perseverance. “Night” by Elie Wiesel teaches us all to persevere through the hard times and push ourselves past the limit. This is why I chose this…

    This quote is long, but includes many factors that make it so inspiring. The first sentence is my favorite part of the quote because it makes one of the best points. With a great use of vocabulary, it explains how the hardest trails lead to the best views. The main reason that this part speaks to me is because one of my favorite hobbies is hiking. In my experience, the hardest hikes always lead to the most divine views. That doesn’t only apply to hiking, however. Working hard in school and other activities always ends well. I like it because it shows how the beginning may be the hardest segment, but it will always lead to an excellent reward.…

From my personal experiences and thoughts, it is true that if one never tries to improve, one never will. When I want to become a leader, when an acquaintance wants to become better, and when one truly believes in themselves, we can master anything.…
