Bright Star by John Keats & Choose Something Like a Star by Robert Frost

Bright Star by John Keats
Choose Something Like a Star by Robert Frost
In both of this poems by two similar poets, they seems to have a fascination for the stars and the unfamiliar world of space. Although, some people might see this as an allusion to God, I see it more of a guidance like an angel. When people are lost they are looking for the north star to get them home safe. Both themes in these poems suggest that there is power out in the world, that everyone looks up to, whether it be the stars, or your friends. Both of these poets have different styles of writing, but their observant points get across that they are looking for a way out of the real world.
In Keats poem, the speaker is trying to be the epitome of a star. It wants to be consistent and never change like the people and things around him. While in Frost’s poem, the speaker is questions everything around him, and i believe he is looking for a change in his life for the better. These poems both deal with impatient people waiting for questions and wishes to be fulfilled just by glancing at the night sky. But, one big difference in the poems is that in Keats poem, the star provides no answer. While in Frost’s poem, the star says little to guide the speaker, and the speaker comes out yearning for more, while the other gives up.
