Read "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost and briefly summarize the poem in a few sentences. Then, think about a deeper meaning the poem may have and explain it in a few more sentences.
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.

Answer:

The poem talks about the destruction of the world through ice or fire.

Explanation:

This renowned poem by Robert Frost shows two probabilities of how the world can end: through ice or fire.

He gives his own opinion where he compares fire to desire, and says he agrees with those who believe it will end like this. But in turn, he says that if the world ended twice, ice could also do this job perfectly.

In a deeper analysis, the author believes that the two strongest emotions that can end the world are desire (fire) and hate (ice). The human race could easily self-destruct through these two feelings, if they are not controlled.

The author knows the desire, and claims that this could be the cause of total destruction, but also believes that hatred has enough power to do so too.
