Blog Post #6 Responding to Using Comparision-Contrast for a Purpose

FIRE AND ICE

I liked this poem because it kept my attention and it proves the point that is being made with comparing and contrast. It talks about the world ending in fire but then it goes about talking about how the some people say that the world could end in ice. It made me think about what I think would happen. I think if the world were to either be on fire or ice. I think it would burn up in flames instead of freeze! I think fire balls look cooler then ice balls anyway. There is a lot more dimension when it comes to fire. With comparing and contrasting you want to different ideas that are different so you have room to tell why they are different and what you think about them both. Another reason why I liked this poem is I liked how the writer stated his opinion that he thinks that it would go on fire first but if it were to happen again it would be ice. But I liked how he did not just come out and say that. This is a good poem.
