    Poetry Analysis My two poems for my poetry analysis are “Fire and Ice” and “Let me not to the marriage of true minds”. The poems are written in two different time periods by unlike authors. Having two dissimilar poems help show how the authors used different techniques to connect with their audience. The author’s use of style‚ form‚ sound‚ and literary techniques help show their different techniques. “Fire and Ice” was written by Robert Frost in 1923. This was the modern time period. The sound

    Fire And Ice

    Fire and ice The world could possibly end in two ways. The author‚ if he had to perish twice would like to try both. Fire is desire and I think ice is equated to hate. I don’t think he necessarily thinks one has a greater destructive power than the other‚ but that his first choice would be fire/desire. This is because I think that the fire represents love. Both fire/desire and ice/hate can be extremes of emotions and the elements. Do you find it interesting that his last name is Frost?

    I began reading Anna Deavere Smith’s Fires in the Mirror without doing any pre-reading about the subject of the play or the author. When I read over the long list of "characters" for the play‚ I thought I would never be able to keep up with who’s who. Before beginning to read the first scene‚ I was unaware that the play was a succession of verbatim monologues from real people. I thought‚ "Wow‚ this is different." Honestly‚ I have probably read about the Crown Heights riots before—in fact I probably
