"New Hampshire" shows peculiar features of Robert Frost as self-consciousness, talking about himself and aphorisms. The topic of the poems in this collection indicates depth and subtleness. This work portay his maturity. Frost controls his feelings even when he is personal. He does not indulge in his feelings. A critic speaking of Frost says: " It would be going too far to think of him as a religious poet, but his work tends towards wholeness, thus towards Catholicism

    Frost not only uses the meanings of words but the sounds and syllables of words and sentences. The way the poem sounds tells a story and gets across a feeling of Eve and her affect without even thinking of what any of the words mean. The poem is like a song and the shapes of his words are an entirely new form of oral communication. Frost uses the "music of the English verse"� in his poem. It is the way the poem sounds that makes it what it is. He uses different shapes of words like "believe"� with "Eve"� and…

    In Robert Frosts’ poem “Stopping by woods on a snowy evening”, Frost uses symbolism and personification to tell a story about a man’s battle with responsibility and society versus straying from the accepted path of life. Throughout the poem, Frosts’ use of detail helps push the story along and get the reader into that field. The reader starts to feel the cool, brisk breeze and hear the silence of the nothingness. With as short as this poem is, the reader really feels a sense of a story here rather than just a four stanza poem.…

    The poem “The road not taken” by Robert Frost outlines a scenario every human being on the planet has encountered. The images and emotions evoked are masterfully woven into the style that Frost used. Using the formalist approach this poem is easily stripped down to the intent of sharing a common decision making process with the readers. Robert Frost is able to skillfully use writing techniques to share a common experience of which road to take in life and create a poem that evokes those memories every time.…

    Robert Frost was an amazing poet with poems that ring out with “autumnal tones of New England” (Charters, 862). Robert was born in San Francisco in 1874 but did not truly begin his life until 1912 when he and his family moved to England and he was able to pursue his writings. Frost has many amazing works of poetry and like most poets, he has many poems that went unnoticed. The Road Not Taken and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening both embody the classic Frost ambiance; they are both full of metaphors and symbols that make the poems jump off the page with life. They are exquisite poems that will be carried on for generations.…

    Robert Frost (1874- 1963). Robert Frost “was the most widely admired and highly honoured American poet of the 20th century (Eiermann).” Robert Frost was raised in rural New England where he grew a fond love for the outdoors and nature (Merriman). His love with nature elements has probably overwhelmed him so much that it has been reflected upon in many of his poems such as “The Tuft of Flowers,” “Reluctance,” and “Birches.” One of the nature imageries that have been used frequently by Robert Frost is the snow imagery. Although the snow imagery appears in many other poems by Frost we will be dealing with the poems “Desert Places” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Even though “Desert Places” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” share many qualities such as the common imagery of snow, the scene of the speaker travelling at night and the quantity of stanzas, they are as equally different or even more so. The speakers of the poems have different feelings towards the snow and on the area that they are in. As a consequence of the different feelings that the narrators have, the poems have different moods and themes. As a result the snow imagery in “Desert Places” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” causes the mood and theme of each poem to be significantly different.…

    Robert Frost was an extraordinary poet who wrote from his heart. He is known for his use of everyday objects and settings in his poems. Many times he uses nature, such as trees, birds, rain, and flowers, for subjects in his poetry. As simple as they may seem, the poems are much more detailed than meets the eye. He also writes from many different perspectives, for example first person omniscient. In his poem "The Road Not Taken", Frost creates an analogy between a walk in the forest and moving through life. He also writes from a first person narrative, as if he were not only representing himself in this walk but everyone else in the world, in particular the reader. In this poem, Frost shows that each person comes to a point in their life when they have a choice of how to live. There are two different paths, and he took the path in life most do not, which ultimately benefited him.…

    Robert Frost wrote many magnificent works of poetry within his lifetime. Two of his poems that were written within seven years of each other, “The Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, have such remarkable comparisons within each other. Frost plays on many aspects within each, while still keeping consistency of themes such as life, nature, and the emotions of the narrator and how they affect their lives and choices. With the undertone of life being a key component, one speaks of a choice to make and how it can affect the life from that moment forward, the other hints at a life lived and reflection.…

    During his life, Robert Frost, the icon of American literature, wrote many poems that limned the picturesque American Landscape. His mostly explicated poems “Birches” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” reflect his young manhood in the rural New England. Both of these poems are seemingly straightforward but in reality, they deal with a higher level of complexity and philosophy. Despite the difference in style and message, “Birches” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” are loaded with vivid imagery and symbolism that metaphorically depict the return to the nature and childhood, the struggle between reality and imagination, and also freedom and captivation.…
