		“Nothing Gold Can Stay” VS. “I am a Rock”

 

Similarities -          A lot of hate -          Nature imagery -          Seasons usage -          Reading Books as a protector

Nothing Gold Can Stay Differences -          Spring to Fall are the seasons -          About Gold, rich value -          Negative towards Loss, death and sin -          Uses rich value falling to bad things -          Does not use “I” – more general -          Shorter but stronger meaning towards every type of audience

I am a Rock                 Differences -          Its winter -          The item is a Rock -          Negative towards laughter, love and friendship -          Different location – on an island -          Speaks in the 1st person “I” -          Longer with more personal meaning
