Fire and Ice written by Robert Frost uses three figures of speech. It uses alliteration‚ anaphora‚ and paradox. Alliteration is the use of the same consonant at the beginning of each stressed syllable in a line of verse. Alliteration is used in the lines “Some say the world will end in fire‚ some say in ice (Frost‚ lines 1 and 2)”‚ and “I hold with those who favor fire (Frost‚ line 4).” Alliteration is used by repetition of "S" in some and say.

Both fire/desire and ice/hate can be extremes of emotions and the elements. Do you find it interesting that his last name is Frost?

Poetry Analysis My two poems for my poetry analysis are “Fire and Ice” and “Let me not to the marriage of true minds”. The poems are written in two different time periods by unlike authors. Having two dissimilar poems help show how the authors used different techniques to connect with their audience. The author’s use of style‚ form‚ sound‚ and literary techniques help show their different techniques. “Fire and Ice” was written by Robert Frost in 1923. This was the modern time period. The sound

Scott Fitzgerald explains that the best literature will always reflect on human nature and so will be immortal and universal.
