What is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in "Dust of Snow"?
Nana76 [90]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A crow knocked some snow down onto the speaker </em>

<em>This is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in the “Dust of Snow.”</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Robert Frost’s poem “Dust of Snow,” is about being optimistic. The poet was sitting under a Hemlock tree when a crow knocked down some snow particles on him. This simple incident struck a different chord of the poet’s mind and changed his view about life completely. So he thinks it is ironic that a crow not related to goodness did a good deed and evoked the sense of finding positive in negative situations. This small event led to the shift of the poet’s mood from hopelessness to hope.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

"Silky" Bob's profession shows that he was a cheap man that wanted money and expensive stuff for free but Jimmy Wells understood that money came from hard work and he wanted to stop the ones that thought it came for free. When he came to realize his best friend was one of those he couldn't arrest him because it was his friend. Jimmy was a hard working American while bob was feeding of of people like Jimmy and taking their hard earned money from them for his personal use.  That's what i believe from that story.
