Read the following poem, "A Birthday" by Christina Rossetti and answer the question below.
My heart is like a singing bird   Whose nest is a weathered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree  
Whose boughs are bent  with thick-set fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell   That paddles in a halcyon [peaceful] sea;
My heart is gladder than all these  
Because my love is come to me.
QUESTION: What mood do the details of the poem convey? (Look specifically at the three things the speaker compares her heart to.)

• Sorrow
• Happiness
• Excitement
• Nervousness

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

What comparison does Frost make to fire?

• Is it like death, because it ends everything.

• It is like hate, because it is raging and destructive.

• It is like the world, because it is everywhere.

• It is like desire, because it’s a consuming element.
