Alliteration In The Road Not Taken

In the poems “Identity”, by Julio Noboa Polanco, and “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost, there are many prime examples of alliteration, repetition, rhyme, and rhythm. To begin with, “Identity” uses repetition by repeating the words “I’d rather be” in stanzas two, four, and the beginning and end of stanza five. The poem “The Road Not Taken” uses repetition by starting lines: two, three, and four with “and” in stanza one, “and” in line seven, line eleven starts with “and”, line twenty also starts with “and”. Both of these poems use plants as their descriptions and use four of the five senses; sight, smell, touch, and taste. Next, the poems use rhyming by half-rhymes or full end-rhymes. Robert Frost’s poem uses full end-rhymes, for example, from stanza one, “wood, both, stood, could, and undergrowth” are used at the ends of the lines.
