Wind and Window Flower After reading this poem by Robert Frost, I was left with many different ideas about this work. I believe one could take this poem in a literal sense to actually be about a window flower and the wind. I also believe, however, that this poem perhaps has a bit of a deeper meaning. Looking first at the poem in a literal sense, the story is told of a lonely window flower that is sitting on a window sill, and the image is that the flower is looking out the window. It is
The Use of Symbolism in Robert Frost's Wind and Window Flower I interpreted this poem as a very sad one. A love unrequited by the pursued. In the first two lines the poem tells you to forget about the love you share and hear a tale of this. Not to literally forget, but possibly put aside. The man is a winter breeze, cold and rough and sort of roams the land. The woman is a window flower, shut off from the outside. This sets up the separation. They can "see" each other and are kept apart

Adventuring to the unknown Steve found a little flower, It was yellow but smelled awful. Steve wanted to destroy the flower so that way no one else had to deal with the foul stench. He walked over ready to stomp on the flower when his mysterious friend said, "You want to kill it but something seems special about this flower".

appearance in a few of the main characters. Ophelia, Hamlet’s former lover, loses her mind completely and becomes incompetent. The small window of time between Ophelia losing her mind and drowning proves to be an interesting read within the novel. In Act IV Ophelia’s insanity is fully demonstrated. While Ophelia is experiencing this mental downfall, she hands out flowers to people in the castle that seem most fit to their embedded meaning. On the surface this seems to be a few lines that can be overlooked

walk amidst nature does have a sedative and awe-inspiring impact on our minds – more specifically, a morning walk in the garden. I figured out the true essence of nature on a pleasant summer morning; the sun was blazing through the polished glass windows. I recall my head feeling heavy and I just wanted to lie down, but even that wouldn’t help. The pain throbbed in my skull, not a sharp pain like a knife-inflicted wound, but more of a dull pounding with a hammer over… and over… and over again. I stood
Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews Have you ever imagined living locked up in an attic for 3 years and 5 months? Have you ever imagined not growing up with your mother's care and love at the time you were
Both "Pretty Boy Crossover" and "Flowers of Edo" share a similar and resounding theme. People are afraid of change, death, being left out, and not knowing things. People would rather choose to evade these realities, or even decide to escape them by doing suicide. They do whatever it takes to fit in, to be worshipped, and to be immortal. They do all of this in order to maintain their sanity, because they can't accept being outcast, or can't accept death. People would rather do what's popular instead
Having clear windows at home gives you a spectacular view of the outdoors while enjoying the safety and comfort of your haven. If you have a beautiful flower garden outside of your doorstep, you’ll be able to see this every morning when you get out of bed.

Character Analysis of the Elder Mrs. Winning of Flower Garden The oppression of tyranny breeds either rebellion or its counterpart, conformity, as was the case for the character Helen Winning in the story "Flower Garden" by Shirley Jackson. The static, intrinsic traits of the Elder Mrs. Winning, which are influential to the outcome of the story, are developed in detail by Jackson's use of description and dramatic scenes. The elder Mrs. Winning is characterized as a woman with an authoritative
chrysanthemums that she tends are more than just flowers. There are actions that she performs in the story, which also have other meanings. Elisa is a country housewife. She is semi-distant from her husband and greatly distant from the world around her.

and instead elaborates on the roots of the age-old symbol for love. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea what this poem is about, so hopefully something will make sense by the end of this paper. The poem starts out as a description of the flower that we all have either received, given, longed for, or been cut by. Instantly, there is the feel of conflict in the language that is being used.
