An example of this is dandelions, their seeds are light, allowing them to be blown
During his life, Robert Frost, the icon of American literature, wrote many poems that limned the picturesque American Landscape. His mostly explicated poems “Birches” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” reflect his young manhood in the rural New England. Both of these poems are seemingly straightforward but in reality, they deal with a higher level of complexity and philosophy. Despite the difference in style and message, “Birches” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” are loaded with
easier to find some ways out of problems, and making a positive view out of it. A lot of times your best friend or your soul mate can chance the negative view and make it positive.

The portrayal of women and children is essential to many classic novels, film and poetry.
