Nothing gold can stay

1. In line 6, "Eden" is an allusion to the biblical Garden of Eden. Why might the speaker choose this as a symbol? What does Eden represent in this poem? Explain your answer.

2. The speaker personifies nature. In other words, the speaker presents nature in a human form by referring to it as "her". Why does the speaker make a connection between the life of nature and the life of people? Support your answer.

3. According to this poem, should we value your youth? Why? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other art, literature, or history in your answer.​

Answer:

Explanation:

1. In the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay", the poet makes an allusion to "Eden" to represent an image of a beautiful place. In the poem Eden is a place of perfection and golden nature but its eventual death and fading nature reminds us that even the most perfect thing on Earth is bound to die.

2. The speaker personifies nature in a human form by referring to it as "her" because just like a female, it gives birth to new life. The speaker makes a connection between the life of nature and the life of people to remind us that life is mortal and vulnerable. Everything on Earth would die eventually and in that process, nature would give birth to new life to sustain the Earth.

3. Yes, according to the poem we should value youth as it will eventually fade away. As we know youth is a time of vigor and power, it can be seen as the golden time/flower time of our lives. It is the best and the most refined time of a human life. Therefore, we should value it and use it to the fullest before it fades way like every golden thing on Earth. The evidence that reminds us to value youth can be seen through "Her early leaf's a flower;  But only so an hour."

From the excerpt, the speaker chose Eden as a symbol because Eden symbolizes a beautiful abode.

Its fading nature and death brings a reminder that even the most beautiful things can die.

The connection between the life of nature and the life of people tells us that  it is in jeopardy and lethal.

The youthful age is a time of strength and should be treated with great consciousness as its a vital time in one's life. Therefore, one should value it because it transits and does not come again.

Citing an evidence from the poem  about the youth:

Her early leaf's a flower;  But only so an hour.

Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne

1
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.
2
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.
3
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
4
With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.
5
I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.
