Stopping by woods on a snowy evening
Nothing Gold can Stay
Frost has a joyful yet serious attitude. In
stopping by woods on a snowy evening
frost’s attitude is happy. It is snowing
and he is happy yet he is serious cause
he is on his way home. He is in a cart
pulled by a horse. He and his horse is
trying to get home and they have a log
way to go. Miles and Miles to go.
Geographical Region Represented
The Geographical Region Represented is New England.
Frost is most commonly identified with New England. He
Moved his family to New England and there some of New
England’s most famous poets influenced him. He first became
famous in New England and decided to return home to try and
gain the same fame as he had in New England.
Themes
He has two major themes that he uses in his
works I have read.
Nature
Life
He also uses these themes in most of
his works prior to the ones I have read.
The Road Not taken is one of our favorite
poems that he has written. One thing is
the main them of the poem. It makes
you think about life and nature at the
same time. The road not taken in a path
that no one has traveled on for a while.
The other is one that is most commonly
traveled. The roads represent the paths
in life and everyone must choose a path
in which to travel. He chose the path that
was less traveled by and that at made
the difference between his life and the
life of other people who traveled by the
other.
In The End
Robert Frost died 1963.
