    Honey Pot Vs Frogs

    I think the theme of the two stories "The Flies and the Honey Pot" and "The Frogs and the Well" by Aesop is, You should always think before you act, or you will have to deal with outcome you chose. In the poem "The Flies and the Honey Pot" it talks about how an animal that is driven by greed, acts without thinking and dies a horrible death because of it. In the article it says “With many a twitch and pull in vain they gasped to get away again, and died in aromatic pain” (Aesop). This shows that the flies died because, they were greedy with the honey and got stuck when they were eating it. In conclusion, you should think about what you are doing, and also think about what the consequences could be, and if the bad ones out way the good…

    Clarence's Loss Of Innocence

    He used all the fancy adjectives to describe the value of glorious treasures, the ironic part is that all those unvalued treasures, were “All scattered in the bottom of the sea”. These three lines are highly ironic as the comparison between the valuable of the jewels and the places that they were ---- the bottom of the sea, no one will discover them, no one will ever own them. Human does need material for survival, but the over strong pursuit of material desire will make one becomes hysterical, and ultimately lost the spirit of sustenance and even life. In these lines, the concept of materialism was criticized and mocked. The materialism is the gospel of mammon, the human natural towards materialism was ever continuing.…

    Marriage is when two people who love each other come together to form a special bond. However, perception and reality of marriage couldn’t be more different.

    Martin Luther King Jr. Quote

    Martin Luther King Jr. once stated that “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” This means that if you want to judge a person, look to see how they act in times of trouble and hardship. Anyone can act calm when they’re doing nothing and everything’s all hunky dory. But only a good person can remain just as calm and positive in times of crisis and stress. “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller and After by Francine Prose can support that this quote is indeed true in all aspects.…

    Comparing two poems- "Nothing Gold Can Stay" and "Dust of Snow" both by Robert Frost

    In Nothing Gold Can Stay Frost shows the loss of innocence between two figures, Eden and gold. The poems first line, Nature's first green is gold explains that gold represents innocence. Frost then writes, Her early leaf's a flower/But only so an hour. Frost shows that innocence does not last forever and will soon fade. The poem follows saying that Eden goes into grief symbolizing the loss of innocence. When applying this theme to human nature, the gold represents childhood and when Then leaf subsides to leaf humans slowly lose their innocence as they become adults. To stay gold is to stay true in this poem. However, gold loses lust and brilliance as it becomes into a different object, very much like how people lose innocence and they change their nature into a different person. Although gold represents purity and innocence, it also shows ignorance. To be human is to have taken from the Tree of Knowledge and gain conscious of knowledge. As people progress through their lives, ignorance along with innocence slowly fades away. Frost also exemplifies how quick reality sets into ones life when he writes, But only so an hour. Frost shows that after losing innocence and ignorance, knowledge and reality takes place instead. However, this poem can also apply to other things seen in human nature. For example, happiness does not stay forever just as people cannot live forever. At one point sooner or later everything fades away, thus Eden, who represents humans, sank to grief and Frost shows how nothing can stay gold.…
