rush to the home of Roberta s parents to fish out hot new. They do not care about the feelings and sufferings of people. High officials need the victory in the trial and they do all possible to prove that Clyde has committed the murder deliberately. Otherwise they can lose the election campaign which was in full swing at the time. When no direct evidence was found, it had been finally manipulated. A hair was torn off from Roberta s head and squeezed between the lenses of the camera, and then the camera was produced as a weapon of the murder.
Robert Frost
1874-1963Frost is the poet whom Americans most closely identify with New England. Long before he became known as the greatest American poet of his time, Robert Frost worked as a farmer, a bobbin boy in a Massachusetts mill, a shoemaker and a teacher in country schools.Frost was born in San Francisco, California on March 26, 1874. Frost s ancestors were Scotch-English. His mother was of a Scottish seafaring family of Orkneyan origin, a schoolteacher whose name appears in most records as Isabelle Moody (the proper spelling was Moodie). His father - William Prescott Frost became a teacher, then an editor, then a politician. His health did not stand the strains. When he died of tuberculosis in his early thirties, Robert was ten years old. The fatherless boy grew into the independent young man. His mother took him back to Massachusetts. He first saw the New England landscapes and knew the changing seasons that he would later describe with the familiarity of a native son. After high school there, Frost entered Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He decided after a few months that he was not yet ready for higher education, and he returned to Lawrence to work in the cotton mills and to write. His verses, however, found little favor with magazine editors. He relished the sheer music of Edgar Poe, as much as the meaningfulness of Emerson. He saw his first poem printed in the Lawrence High School Bulletin. His mother was proud, but the rest of the family were alarmed. His grandfather said: No one can make a living at poetry. But I tell you what: we ll give you a year to make a go of it. And you ll have to promise to quit writing if you can t make a success of it in a year. What do you say? Give me twenty - give me twenty , he said. In his early twenties, married to a pretty girl Elinor Miriam White and with a growing family, Frost finally began to feel the need for a more formal education than his random reading could provide. He took his family to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and to please his family he entered Harvard in his 22 and stayed there for only two years. Meanwhile, he earned a living as a schoolteacher, taking his mother s class away from her, and as an editor before deciding to try farming.later wrote of his decision to leave the University : Harvard had taken me away from the question of whether I could write or not . grandfather was disappointed, but he gave Robert a farm near Derry, New Hampshire. For ten years, Frost tilled the stony New Hampshire soil on thirty acres. But he decided that the concentration demanded by writing poetry did not mix with the round-the-clock physical effort of working the land. Discouraged, he returned to teaching for a few years; then in 1912 he sought a complete change of scene by selling his farm and taking his family to England.move turned out to be a wise one. Stimulated by meeting English poets, Frost continued to write poetry, though he found his subjects in New England. In the three years he spent abroad, he completed the two volumes that would make him famous - A Boy s Will appeared in 1913 and another book of poetry, North of Boston was published in 1914. It was as simple as that. Too simple, perhaps - no influential friends, no publicity, nothing to win favour except the poetry. But Frost had to wait more than twenty years from the time of his first poem in a high school magazine to the time of his first book. When the first volume appeared the poet was thirty-eight years old. These collections included several poems that would stand among Frost s best-known works: The Tuft of Flowers , In Hardwood Groves , Mending Wall , The...
