1. Do you like the poem? Why? (30words) Answer: Yes, we like this poem because Robert Frost says that all things that we have in this world is just for a while, that nothing will last forever. No matter how valuable or important it may be to you or others nothing will last forever. Robert Frost himself had to go through losing many of his family members. He also uses a biblical allusion by saying how even the Garden of Eden didn't last.

2. What are some of the important points the poet is trying to convey? (100 words) Answer: The poet try to say that how precious our life. He wants us to appreciate every moment in our life. Besides, the poet also says that everything comes in beautiful but cant always stay beautiful just like anything else life will go on and things will fade and die out. The second to last line "So dawn goes down to day" is important in that it stops the flow of time at "day". The end of the beginning, as it was: the death of childhood and the birth of adulthood are one and the same, just as dawn changes to day in the natural flow of time.

3. Can you relate this poem to our daily lives? how? (50 words) Answer : This poem addresses the fragility of nature, that its cycle is such that green leaves do not last forever: leaf subsides to leaf (he puns on the second leaf, so that it can be read as leafs leave) just as Eden sank to grief, meaning just as the pleasures of Eden eventually ended and humanity was thrust into the world where suffering exists. This is the fact of life that Pony learns: good things in life dont last. In its discussion of the novel, Enotes points out that the poem speaks back to the images of sunsets in the story: Sunsets are short.But it is possible, Pony proves, to remain true to one's self and thereby stay gold.

SONNET 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

SOMETIMES Sometimes life seems tough and it seems you can't go on sometimes thats it, you've had enough and you don't know where to land. sometimes you can't stand the hurt, and nothing makes any sense, sometimes it seems nothing is worth, the pain that is so immense Sometimes you just want it all to end, and just let everything go away. sometimes the trouble can't seem to mend, and wherever you go they seem to lay. and sometimes all you need is just one smile and with someone your troubles to share sometimes you can make the extra mile all you need is someone to care.

Nothing Can Last Forever Relationships come and go, As dark, grey clouds cover the sun. When the fun has just begun, But memories fade away. The sky goes from dark to light, Then turns to night. You fight with all your might, For it to stay. Even when were together, Nothing can last forever.

I WAS WRONG I though i found it all, when I looked into your eyes, but this heart of mine, was telling me lies. I felt I had it all, If i spent a while with you, How many times i hoped, you felt this way too. I thought life was perfect, if your smile came my way, but now i know, in my heart you cannot stay. I thought i found love it you, but i was wrong you turned my life around and brought it down with a bang your heart belongs with her, and with her it will stay i've realized, you're not my sunshine ray you were never mine, not for a single moment, and somehow, i'll get over this torment, so live your life, i've let you go, and in the sea of life, continue, just row.

CHANGE Seasons come and go Sceneries change over time Nothing stays the same Should we be revised? Of course, it's necessary All are due for change Without change there's no Future to look forward to Change lives on a throne Change can make us cry Change can also make us laugh Sometimes change is death Sometimes change is life Nothing ever changes change Change is always change!
