6. As we know by now, this poem talks about how the world will end.  In the middle of the poem it says “But if it had to perish twice”.

7. The title of this poem is Fire and Ice, although the speaker talks about which one of the two will be the demise of the world. Why was the title Fire and Ice and not something like Fire or Ice
8. This poem had a rhyme scheme (which is A-B-A, A-B-C, B-C-B) which follows the terza rima pattern. How did the pattern of the poem’s rhyme scheme affect the poem to the reader and what did you hope to gain out of doing this scheme
9. Ice and Fire are two different things, but they both get the job done by destroying the world. The world will end regardless but is there another way the “world” could end
