On Frost at Midnight Coleridge initiates with the phrase “The frost performs its secret ministry‚ unhelped by any wind” (line 1). The frost makes Coleridge realise how beautiful nature is and he speculates that the frost is a secret ministry‚ because it appears from nowhere in the night‚ sent by God to make human kind appreciate the beauty of nature. His inmates are sleeping and he is enjoying the peace and quiet with his son. The only subtle sound is a smouldering fire. In the second stanza

‘To Autumn’ Analysis ‘To Autumn’ is a caricature of the Autumnal season written by John Keats around 1820. Keat’s direct address‚ and thus his personification of Autumn is evident through the use of the direct determiner ‘To’ which resembles the conventional opening sequence of a letter.

How do Sebastian Faulks and Robert Frost present the plight of children in “The Last Night” and “Out‚ Out-“? Compare and contrast the methods of the two authors. In the two pieces I will be analysing how the two writers use different methods in order to get emotion out of reader and in what light do they portray the children’s’ unfortunate fates. Both of the writers make the reader feel sympathy for the main characters because the main characters are both still in their youth and they both face

In 2001‚ The American Scholar derived an excerpt from a talk given by Margaret Drabble‚ an English author who stated‚ “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts.” This quote declares that as we tend to ignore our logic sense and morals in order to fulfill society’s needs.
