Why does Housman compare life to the blossoming of a cherry tree?

Paul [167]3 years ago

Housman compares life to the blossoming of a cherry tree because a person's life is much like a cherry tree.

A cherry tree blossoms like a young person. However, the blossoms do not last forever, much like life. Therefore, we have to enjoy the blossoms -- and our lives -- while we can. 

He says that if you only enjoy the cherry tree when it blossoms (in the spring) then you will not get a lot of time to enjoy it. That's why at the end of the poem he goes "to see the cherry hung with snow." He will enjoy the cherry tree all year round, instead of just once a year.

In the same way, we have to enjoy life all the time, not just some of the time.

What do you think could happen to places like Yellowstone if they aren't protected
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: If Yellowstone National Park, for example, were not federally protected, the canyon would surely be home to a logging community that would cut into valuable old-growth timber. In fact, according to an article in the Seattle Times from 1903 discussing what soon became Yellowstone National Park's boundaries--"A commercial promoter had surveyed them and planned a private railroad right-of-way along John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s land on its east side."

Only 12% of all land areas in the western United States is public property with federal protection status. These lands include national parks and monuments like Yosemite and Mt. McKinley Wilderness where exploration is often restricted or off limits because these regions are so fragile or valuable to wildlife that they need our help to secure it.

How might a flashback add complexity and interest to a story?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

By revealing important events in a character's past.

Explanation:

Flashbacks help us understand characters more and build on characters' personalities. They help us understand why they do certain things and what has led up to their current decisions. I guess it could be number three, but the first answer is the most obvious and logical one.

Write a hook relating to defying authority.
Mademuasel [1]

“There are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws”. In his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King stated his strategy of non-violent resistance, adding to a debate about the moral implications of defying authority.
