Question 1.
\nWhat is a \u2018dust of snow\u2019? What does the poet say has changed his mood? How has the poet\u2019s mood changed?
\nAnswer:
\nDust of snow is \u2018flakes\u2019. The flakes of snow were dropped by the crow which changed the poet\u2019s mood. Throughout the day he had been repenting for some loss.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nHow does Frost present Nature in this poem? The following questions may help you to think of an answer.
\n(i) What are the birds that are usually named in poems? Do you think a crow is often mentioned in poems? What images come to your mind when you think of a crow? \u2018
\n(ii) Again, what is \u2018a hemlock tree\u2019? Why doesn\u2019t the poet write about a more \u2018beautiful\u2019 tree such as a maple, or an oak, or a pine?
\n(iii) What do the \u2018crow\u2019 and \u2018hemlock\u2019 represent-joy or sorrow? What does the dust of snow that the crow shakes off a hemlock tree stand for?
\nAnswer:
\n(i) The poet presents nature in the poem in a way that is not very appealing because he is not depicting the beauty or kindness in nature rather he has chosen a bird like a crow which is omnivorous and crooked.
\n(ii) The crow and hemlock do not represent the joyous state of mind because the poisonous tree makes one feel scared.
\n(iii) The dust of snow represents the scandalous attitude of people who poison others\u2019 lives by their wickedness.<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\n\u2018Good things come in small packages\u2019. How does the poem, \u2018Dust of Snow\u2019, illustrate this idea?
\nAnswer:
\nIn the poem, the falling of a dust of snow on the poet when a crow shook it off a hemlock tree ushers a profound reaction. It arouses feelings about the greatness of nature, illustrating that nature is the bedrock of human responses. Previously, the poet had treated his heart as a body organ but following this incident, he undergoes a change of mood, with the heart becoming the repository of this change.<\/p>\n

He realizes that human beings are rooted to the earth and linked to even the ordinary things, like a crow, hemlock tree, or a drop of snow. The commonplace augurs happiness, thereby proving that good things are to be sought in small packages and seemingly inconsequential ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
