Frost has presented nature in quite an unconventional manner. While in other nature poems we come across birds such as nightingales or sparrows, Frost has used a crow in this poem. A crow can be associated with something dark, black, and foreboding. That is why other poets usually mention singing nightingales or beautiful white doves in their poems. Also, the poet has written about a hemlock tree, which is a poisonous tree. He has not written about a more beautiful tree such as a maple,an oak tree or a pine tree because these trees symbolize beauty and happiness. Frost wanted to symbolize the feelings of sadness and regret, which is why he has used a hemlock tree. 

The crow and the hemlock tree represent sorrow. The dust of snow that is shaken off the hemlock tree by the crow stands for joy that Frost experiences. He has, therefore, used an unconventional tree and bird in order to contrast them with joy in the form of snow.

1. Structure of dorsiventral leaf: The mesophyll tissue is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma in a dorsiventral leaf. This type is very common in dicot leaf. The different parts of this leaf are as follows: 

2. Upper epidermis: It consists of a single layer of tightly packed rectangular, barrel shaped, parenchymatous cells which are devoid of chloroplast. A distinct layer of cuticle lies on the outside of the epidermis. Stomata are generally absent. 

3. Mesophyll: Between upper and lower epidermis, there is chloroplast-containing photosynthetic tissue called mesophyll It is differentiated into Palisade parenchyma and Spongy parenchyma. 

a. Palisade parenchyma: Palisade parenchyma is present below upper epidermis and consists of closely packed elongated cells. The cells contain abundant chloroplasts and help in photosynthesis. 

b. Spongy parenchyma: Spongy parenchyma is present below palisade tissue and consists of loosely arranged irregularly shaped cells with intercellular spaces. The spongy parenchyma cells contain chloroplast and are in contact with the atmosphere through stomata.

4. Vascular system: It is made up of a number of vascular bundles of varying size depending upon the venation. Each one is surrounded by a thin layer of parenchymatous cells called bundle sheath. Vascular bundles are closed. Xylem lies towards upper epidermis and phloem towards lower epidermis. Cambium is absent, hence there is no secondary growth in the leaf. 

5. Lower epidermis: It consists of a single layer of compactly arranged rectangular, parenchymatous cells. A thin layer of cuticle is also present. The lower epidermis contains a large number of microscopic pores called stomata. There is an air-space called substomatal chamber at each stoma.

The poet was depressed and hopeless. He was in a state of sorrowful mood. As he was lost in thoughts he was standing under the hemlock tree. The incident was not pre-planned.

The poet was feeling depressed and hopeless. So he was not in a good mood. He was standing under a hemlock tree. Suddenly a crow shook dust of snow on him. The small and simple incident changed his mood. He realized the fact that he was spoiling his time and decided to enjoy the remaining part of the day.

I was feeling very depressed because I didn’t get satisfactory result in annual examination and I was weeping a lot. Then I put my head in my mother’s lap being greatly upset. She consoled me lovingly and made me sleep in the bed caressing my head softly. After waking up next morning, I found that all the negative thoughts had vanished from my mind and I decided to work harder in the next class.

A Crow , sitting on the tree , shook off the dust of snow , small particles of fall on the poet . This simple action changed the poet's mood . He realized that he had just wasted a part of his day repenting and being lost in sorrow .

When the soft and cold snow fell on the poet, it changed his mood from the state of sadness to happiness. He started feeling soothed (peaceful and refreshed). This simple incident helped him enjoy the remaining part of the day. He, thus, became happy as it saved his rest of the day from being wasted and held in regret.

The word (Rued ) means people have  regretted or felt bad about something happened or about an event., The poet( Dust of Snow) is trying to say that he was not having a good day and it was a day in which he regretted so much. and after the dust of snow falls on him, he begins to realize the beauty of the little things in the world and now says that he will be able to savour every moment left in the day that he had rued (regretted).and felt sad in it.

The poem expresses the significance of small things in changing one’s attitude. The poet appreciates the beauty of the snowflakes, which changed his mood and saved many precious moments from being wasted away. The crow shakes off the snow dust from the hemlock tree. The same way one can shake off the sadness from one’s heart.

The poem The Dust of Snow exposes the irrelevancy of superstition which are popular among us. It is commonly believed that crow is the sign of bad omen. It bring doom and mishap. Similarly, dust refers to death (in Christian and Islamic culture) and Hemlock tree (a poisonous tree) on the other hand was used by Socrates to commit suicide.

However ironically, all these things of bad omen make the poet’s day cheerful. So, the poem depicts that we should always hope for the best and never take anything as bad omen.

The basis of identification by DNA Profiling is the polymorphism. These highly variable sequences of DNA are known as VNTRs (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) and STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) often referred to as Minisatellites and Microsatellites. These are non coding regions and are repeated within genes.
