CHAPTER SIX: City Rats Unveiling of a rodent Of all the city creatures, the rat is the undisputed king. Due to its extraordinary climbing habits, rats make easy work of trees, power and telephone lines, and even gutter spouts to facilitate its access to homes [Bird]. If you live in the city, there are rats living with you, whether you see them or not. While there are several species, the two most well know in North America are the Roof rat and the Norway rat (also known as subway rat, sewer rat, alley rat, house rat, or common rat).
In classifying whether or not a person is a serial killer certain criteria should be met. A serial killer is somebody who commits three or more murders in a short period of time such as a month but has a cooling off period in between murders. The killings or murders must be done at different times, meaning they are separate events. Also serial killers are driven by some type of thrill or pleasure. Often times these people do not feel any remorse for their victims, and enjoy seeing their victims in pain and fearing for their life.
Robert Frost’s poems explored the nature in a rather deep and dark way. For example, his poem, “After-Apple Picking” is hidden under a mask that looks like a harvester is just tired and wants to go to sleep after a day of picking apple from tree. However, we learned that this poem has deeper meaning than what is being shown on the surface. This poem is about actually talking about death as a deeper meaning. I think it is really interesting how Robert Frost, as a poet, was able to connect two themes that are completely different and make it into a single poem.
The nature in the stories we have read have shaped the stories through their characters and the overall theme. The two pieces of writing that had nature the most prominent in the story was “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich and Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. In the story of “The Red Convertible” there is multiple examples of nature that effect the tone of that part of the story. When Henry and Lyman drive one summer to Alaska they “never wanted to leave” (Erdrich 326). At this time the two brothers had a great relationship and the nature around them complies with this good relationship.
The two poems “Stopping By The Woods” by Robert Frost and “The Snow Storm” by Ralph Waldo Emerson both share Romantic Imagery. However, they differ in elements of individuality. Mr. Frost focuses more on who is speaking and the point of view. On the other hand, Mr. Emerson focuses on imagery and the setting it creates in the audience’s head even though the audience cannot see it. Both poems share the image of snow, but differ in individuality.
Tone: The tone of this poem seems to be a person who enjoyed listening to the sound of the calm sea at night. As he is standing by the window , he is seeing the tide getting fuller by the moment. The fact that he mentions the moon out at night makes the scenery even more beautiful. He says, listen !

According to Emerson, a benefit of being in nature is the ability to discover one’s true self. A person can discover their true self in nature because like Emerson states, a poet can integrate nature as a whole, while an ordinary person cannot when they are in nature. “There is a property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eye can integrate all the parts, that is, the poet. This is the best part of these men’s farms, yet to this their warranty deeds give no title” (Emerson 182). What Emerson means when he wrote these words are that ordinary people tend to pass by sceneries that do not fascinate or catch their eye, while a poet will look at sceneries in multiple perspective and put the scenery together, creating a masterpiece.

He also followed pastoral tradition, following the works Virgil, in particular Eclogues in which a harmonic view of nature is portrayed.
