Fire and Ice

I interpret Fire and Ice's meaning is that everyone has a preference to how they would like the world to end (if it had to). I think the poem is saying that there are 2 ways for the world to end, up in fire or frozen in ice. Some people would prefer up in fire and others would prefer frozen in ice. The author, Robert Frost, ironically chose that he would like the world to end in flames. But he would also except frozen in ice if he lived the scenario again.

I chose this poem because I have an opinion to on how I would like the world to end too. If it was up to me, I would have the world end in a sheet of ice rather than every thing and person burn to death. It seems like it would be much more pleasant to die of the cold then it would be to die on fire. That must sound odd to be talking about that but it is my honest opinion. The end of the world will not be relevant to my life or lifetime but in 5 million years people should start thinking about it.
