Nothing Gold Can Stayby: Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

First Line: Even though nature may be green, it loves gold: golden rays from the sun, etc.
Second Line: It is really hard to find gold in nature today
Third Line: Flowers come before leafs?
Fourth Line: The flowers only stay up before the leafs for a while, then the leafs bud
Fifth line: I'm not sure haha
Sixth Line: The Garden of Eden (Genesis Ch.1-3). When Adam and Eve ate the Forbidden Fruit, the whole world was punished, thus "grief"
Seventh Line: You can see the color gold at dawn until it turns to day
Eighth Line: Gold isnot here forever?
Okay ya... haha.
last call, if your analyses are not posted by 7 tomorrow, they will not be on the powerpoint.
P.S. please take into account that at the moment, I am both tired and grumpy, but, seriously, without the analyses on the blog, I cannot put them on the powerpoint. Anyone who gets this message should spread it to others in the group. (except me) (John)
Aaron, sorry if misspelled, the your analysis is incorrect. It does not follow the steps.

8) Frost's purpose was to make people recognize that even the greatest things in life only last for a while.
9) Tone= a mix of praising nature and telling the reader his message
10) Yes, at the 2nd to last line, he switches from praising nature to telling the reader his message
11) Personification: Nature & Eden (sinking)
