Similar to ice, excessive hate can lead to drastic outcomes as people let hate take control of them. “I think I know enough of hate/ To say that for destruction ice/ Is also great”.

However, in “After Apple-Picking” Frosts looks at the forms of extinction that we may take. He looks at whether we go on and exist as a ...

- 1926: Analysis Of Lorca’s Lament For Ignacio Sanchez Mejias
- ... the cleansing of a wound. According to the Hispanic Literature Criticism, “at the height of his skill as a poet, he was in full controll of language, imagery, and emotional suggestion.”(p756) Lorca proved his control over imagery by writing In the distance the gangrene now comes at five in the afternoon Horn of the lily through green goines at five in the afternoon. The wounds were burning like the suns ... immediate surroundings.”(p313, vol. 1) Southern Spain takes great pride in their bullfights. An area of importance in the Andalusian culture is the relationship between man and bull. The following is said about this: The control, taming and domestication of the wild, involving a marked separation between “cultural” and “natural” zones and a special relationship developing between man and individual animal wild undergoing domestication, is quite explicit in Lorca’s “Andalusian” works(111vol49) This quote explains how the person is supposed to have control over the animal.

Instead of feeling inferior towards the opposite sex, she would ... living proof of a world Aunt Jennifer could not grasp. "The tigers in the panel that she [Aunt Jennifer] made will go on prancing unafraid." (Rich 12). Aunt Jennifer does not gain the freedom or control she yearns instead she has granted this long awaited freedom to her tigers which are in turn ideal characters for the picturesque world.

- 1928: The Lost Trees
- ... for financial gain, despite the negative results, is a study of the nature of man's inhumanity to man. Do we not all breathe, even those who fell the trees? Man is not completely in control, however. Nature's ability to wreak havoc on the environment of all living things in the form of earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters should be a wake-up call to humankind. Is this nature's way of reminding us where the true control lies? I think the answer lies in education. I think an International Environmental Awareness Bureau should be established to provide education on a worldwide basis. Subjects could include global warming, air and water pollution, overpopulation ... environmentally sensitive issues. If the education can start at an early age, a generation of nature conscience members of the earth could evolve.

- 1930: Jazz and Classical Music
- ... transmitted to later generations of musicians? Early in the evolution of classical music, a system of notation was gradually developed which for the most part remained stable from the Renaissance on. This gave the composer control over how his compositions were to be played. Throughout the history of Jazz, however, notation was more like a rough sketch. This was because the syncopated rhythms of ragtime and the melodic riffs of the ... written accounts of other composers improvisational abilities including Mozart (1756-1791), Beethoven (1770-1829), and Franz Liszt (1811-1886).
