Fire and Ice Robert Frost Textbook Poem

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice, From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire, But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice is also great And would suffice.  Analysis:

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost can be interpreted different ways. It can be interpreted as two kinds of death or destructive matters, fire and ice. Frost believes that the world will only have two fates, fire or ice. The world can end by burning or freezing. Frost uses his own experiences to predict what will end the world in "From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire." and "I think I know enough hate".

BONUS PARODY:

<span style="text-align: center; display: block; font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #f8206a;">Original Poem; Dream Deferred Dreams

What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up? or flester like a sore and then run Does it stink like rotten meat? or crust over like a syrupy sweet? l Maybe it just sags like a heavy load Or does it just explode?

Hold fast too dreams For if dreams die life is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly

Hold fast too dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow

Parody: What happens to a dream when butchered? Does it shrivel up like an old man in the sun? or scream like a sheep and then go to sleep? Does it stink like an old garabage heap or melt and run over like a melted, choclatey sweet? Maybe it just sags like your grandmother's old shopping bag Or does it just freeload?

Hold fast to your whip-cream for if whip cream dies Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot soar high

Hold fast to your ice cream for when ice cream goes Whip cream is just a bullnose and is no better then yellow snow
