- ... is AABBA CCDDC and that pattern continues for every stanza (Silberner 110). The alliteration and the rhyme scheme of this poem make it flow very smoothly. "Fire and Ice" is a poem about how the world will end. Frost is debating with himself as to whether or not the world will be destroyed by fire or ice. Frost seems as if he is deeply entrenched in thought about whether the earth will become a flaming ball or a gigantic ice cube. I see this poem ... Frost. It tells me that Frost analyzed every idea that popped into his head. No wonder he graduated as co-valedictorian of his class. The imagery of this poem is in the destruction of the world. It takes a little imagination but I can picture the earth as a new sun. I can also picture the earth totally covered by a massive sheet of ice. The theme of "Fire and ...

- ... difficulties inherent in reconciling God with the cold universe slowly emerging for the notes of scientists. In order to deal with the tasks set before him, Tennyson must first boldly face the possibility of a world without God. In stanza number three, Sorrow, personified as a woman, whispers these disconcerting possibilities to a grief-ridden Tennyson, saying, And all the phantom, Nature, stands-... / A hollow form with empty hands (3.9 ... sixty-four, Tennyson speaks of Hallam, describing him with the words: And moving up from high to higher, Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope The pillar of a people's hope, The center of a world's desire (64.13-16). In subsequent sections, he speaks of the divinity present in Hallam, seeming to compare him at times even to Jesus, as in poem eighty-four, where he writes, I see ... form, and glow / In azure orbits heavenly-wise' (87.35-37). Hallam, Tennyson suggests, would have been a link not only between the present race and that which is to come, but also between a world in turmoil and the God who will restore it to peace. This notion of the division between chaotic nature and an ordered divinity is metaphorically expressed through images of the spirit leaving the body ( ...
- 7274: The Bible and If God Exists
- ... flood "so great" that it covered all the mountains with water occurred to fulfill a genocidal whim of an apparently all loving and forgiving god (why not just make everyone vanish instantly and save the world's people and animals the suffering of being drowned?). Since these all sound like tall tales to me, I think god is probably a tall tale, too. Basically, if the bible said there were talking ... stretches of imagination, because it so easily leads to error and self-deception. Though my heart may tell me many useful things about me, only my mind has anything useful to say about the outside world. And it tells me that god, like talking fish, is the grandest of fictions. Since I have always lived my life (all 18 years of it) with meaning and joy, without needing a belief in ... a god does not exist, simply ask them to prove that this essay was not written by a fish. Maybe then they will begin to understand. Last food for thought: The bible says that the world was created in seven days...the sun was created on the fourth day. There is no way to tell how long the first three days were. They could have been 25 hours long...25 ...

- 7276: Tv Shows Influence On Society
- ... the planet. The Cosby Show, in my opinion, had the biggest influence in society than any other show. The final show that had an impact on society was Mash. Mash made the influence by showing war in a funny way. You saw the sad parts of war, but they also had a lot of laughs.

These shows, in my opinion ...
