First, I was really excited when I found out that we were going to be doing a poem by Robert Frost, I'm a huge fan.
After reading this poem and then reading Karissa's entry about this poem, I got to thinking and then I decided to read the poem again. The birds definatly have a relation to Eve and the Garden of Eden. What first came to my mind was that God created the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve. He also created the animals and then left these two people to take care of all the animals that God had created.
What I thought Frost was saying was that in the Garden Eden, Eve had a connection with the birds, for all we know they could have sang to her every morning. It would be neat if she really had, had a connection with the birds. I kind of feel like Frost is saying that because Eve sinned by eating the fruit that she wasn't supposed to eat. After this God was angry with Adam and Eve for sinning against him, so he kicked them both out of the garden. The responsibility of taking care of the animals was pretty much taken off the hands of Adam and Eve. These birds that once had a connection with Eve, no longer have that ability. It's almost like the birds became sad, and this is why there song changed. This poem is really sad if you think about it.
