Sunset are inevitable

In the poem called Acceptance by Robert Frost , the author try to present his massage using nature, by using the sunset and the inevitable coming of the night of every day we have to accept it like we have to accept the thing that occur in our live. When the poet say : " When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud And goes down burning into the gulf below, No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud At what has happened." The poet by using the sunset as something inevitable he is representing the thing s that occur in our live daily. The author also try to said that we have to be like the nature in the way that they do not cry for the things that happen. The poet say: "Birds, at least must know It is the change to darkness in the sky. Murmuring something quiet in her breast, One bird begins to close a faded eye; Or overtaken too far from his nest, Hurrying low above the grove, some waif Swoops just in time to his remembered tree. At most he thinks or twitters softly, 'Safe!", in here the poet use the birds as an example that when the night come they do what they must do to survive for what is inevitable , the same thing that with have to do with our live. Now let the night be dark for all of me. Let the night bee too dark for me to see Into the future. Let what will be, be.' " In this part the author conclude what he is presenting about accepting live as it is and continue on.

Poet

When a poet wrote have to choice and order words and use a tone, and all that is called diction. A poetic diction use elevated language instead of ordinary language and has several levels of diction. The formal diction is the use of elevated language; middle diction is a less formal level of language; and informal diction uses a conversational manner as dialect or jargon. Also the meaning of the word is important in a poem, the denotations and connotations. In “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner”, the words of the poem have denotation and the reader has to decipher to what poem refer to and the tone is serious. In “she being Brand” the author manages the automobile jargon but the denotation is referring to sex and the jargon creates a humorous mood. _________________________________________________________________
