Keats “The Human Seasons”

Explanation:

This is the poem in which the speaker uses an extended metaphor in order to describe the cycle of people's lives. In this poem, Keats tells us that just like the four seasons of the year, there are four seasons in a life. Spring happens when we are young, and we take in all the beauty of the world easily. Summer occurs when we have youthful thoughts and dreams. Then, in autumn, people are more idle and content, and they are ready to let things go. Winter occurs when we are close to death.

if you want me to check your answer i agree with what you put. i read the story

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
