Title: Fire and Ice - Two elements that contradict each other, one hot and one cold
Paraphrase: There are two ways to die, in fire or ice. Most people say that fire is worse but ice can be just as bad.
Connotation: This poem can refer to all crimes. There are some that can be bad, and then there are crimes where you can go completely overboard.
Attitude: The attitude of the author is just in a stating the obvious sort of way. He states the ways people think they are going to die figuratively.
Shift: The shift occurs after the author thinks about perishing twice.
Title Revisited: Fire and Ice - Two ways to die
Theme: There are two sides of every event
Title: How Can I Hate You? - Love is only allowed?
Paraphrase: No matter what happens, hate of the other will not occur. Too much has gone into a relationship for hate to happen.
Connotation: Nothing can really be changed here
Attitude: The author just wants to forgive, even if something bad happens. Bad relations make enemies, not friends. Hating is not in the equation
Shift: Second stanza, he states he will never hate the other
Title Revisited: How Can I Hate You? - You can't hate someone you loved
Theme: Once you love, you cannot hate
