Entry 9

Fire & Ice

          When I first see the title of the poem “Fire & Ice” by Robert Frost, I was thinking about an image of an enthusiastic man chasing after a woman who feels indifference about everything. And, the poem is totally not about what I imagined. It’s interesting that the author says the world may end in fire or ice, but I think the world will end in water since 71% of earth surface is covered with water. The part I like in this poem is the tone or the style of the author; it made me feel like someone is directly talking to you and his words are easy to understand. The part that I dislike is that I believed there might be some deeper ideas that Frost is trying to express but I couldn’t find it. I would like to recommend this poem to my friends since I want to hear different interpretations and opinions of the poem.
