temperate:" (line 2) and after line eight, Shakespeare concludes that the
subject cannot be a summer's day because they are more beautiful and will

My Interpretation Of Frost's "Birches"
Number of words: 871 - Number of pages: 4.... compares this image to that of breaking glass and compares it to the "dome of heaven" shattering. I enjoy how he offers such different interpretations for the appearance of the bark. My personal favorite is the shattering of the dome in heaven. I think this creates a vivid image for the reader. He goes on to say that once the branches are bent, they never return completely upright again, but they are so flexible that they never break. “You may see their trunks arching in the woods/ Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground." These are some of the .....

Poetry: Always And Forever
Number of words: 393 - Number of pages: 2.... me and my love,

To the questions being revealed,
I promise .....

Number of words: 746 - Number of pages: 3.... in such a way that it flows just as
well on paper as it does on stage. She either writes in all capital letters or
all lower case letters and never mixes them. This creates a style that she is
personally known for. It sets her apart from other writers and makes her work
original. None of the characters have names or any type of identity except for

dresses. This makes it a little difficult to follow fo .....

Again later in the same verse he describes the fireworks as .....
