"After Apple Picking"
by Robert Frost
The apples symbolize all of the speaker's life
experiences, suggesting that each one requires
attention and care,
The apples represent all of the speaker's friends
and family, suggesting that he did his best to
support them.
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a troo
Toward heaven still
And there's a barrel that I didn't till
Beside it, and there may be two or throo
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
But I am done with applo-picking now.
Essence of winter sloep is on the night
The scent of apples: am drowsing off
I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight
I got from looking through a pano of glass
I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough
And hold against the world of hoary grass.
It molted, and I lot it fall and break
But I was well
The apples suggest the speaker believes he is
good at what he does, despite the fact that many
do not appreciate him.

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.

in general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. however, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect.
