Cows


Okay, so the Robert Frost poem "The Pasture" was my favorite because it was about a cow in the second half of the poem. First of all, in the beginning of the poem, I wouldn't go with Frost to clean the pasture. That seems boring. I would go to see the cow, because cows are fun, and I somehow get a feeling that he doesn't like the cow. Why would he go fetch it? I seriously think that he wants to make the little cow into a hamburger. I could be wrong, obviously because there is nothing more to the poem than going to fetch the cow, but come on, what purpose would he have with it?

Maybe I think this because of everything that happened to his family, though this was written before that. Usually when people fetch cows, though, it's to get milk or kill them, and this cow is still a baby, so I think it would be to kill him. However, I would go with Frost, as I said, to save the baby cow. And if he tries to kill him, I'll throw Frost in the leaves he raked while cleaning the pasture.
