The four great Modernists Poets of American Literature are Ezra Pound‚ T. S. Elliot‚ Robert Frost‚ and William Carlos Williams. The works of Pound‚ whose poetry focused mainly on the desolate state of the modern world‚ influenced by the poems of the other three poets. Elliot‚ too‚ made the ruin of the world his primary theme Frost whose topics ranged from nature to narratives‚ wrote his poetry in a somewhat light manner‚ or with a cool‚ neutral outlook. Williams‚ although not prone to sentimentalism

Symbolism of the Journey in "The Road Not Taken" and "A Worn Path" ENG125: Introduction to Literature Deborah Duff Joshua Davis 11/ 05/ 2012 Symbolism of the Journey in "The Road Not Taken" and "A Worn Path" When reading a short story or a poem it is not possible to comprehend the author’s true meaning of his or her written word without implementing symbolism to bring the literary work to life.

These things were taken for granted in life‚ yet they become more meaningful as her journey comes to an end. Death has no concept of time or any concerns that someone would. It is the Sun that is moving "He passed Us"‚ indicating the passage of time by its daily course across the sky. The carriage here seems

differences have been overcome‚ and cooperation has occurred. All of these acts are clearly identified in the poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost. He uses the wall as an extended metaphor to reveal the narrator’s thoughts about overcoming differences‚ cooperation‚ and unity. Before the members of any group can merge together‚ they must overcome the differences among them. Frost makes this apprehensible in his poem through the dialogue of the narrator. To exhibit the differences in himself and his neighbor

“After Apple Picking” seems like a sweet and uplifting poem‚ but it is nothing near that. In this poem Robert Frost illustrates his own death and what he did not finish before he died. He longed to accomplish lots in his life‚ but for what he did not finish‚ he is ashamed for. He was grateful for getting to do the tasks he did in his life‚ but felt like a failure for what he did not finish and succeed in. The man is depressed and unsatisfied with himself. He does not feel he has lived his life

The texts that I used to convey this link were The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini‚ Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle‚ The Shawshank Redemption directed by Frank Darabont and a poem by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. Throughout the texts used we learn that you cannot always see the outcome of a particular choice unless you choose to go down that path. An important decision is made by the main character(s) in each text and they suggest that not

The Wall in Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall “ As a Symbol of Division The ordinarily mundane takes a thought arousing spin in one of Robert Frost’s earlier works‚ “Mending Wall”. This poem is a striking take on an otherwise commonplace ritual between two farmers in the spring. Because the poem is in blank verse‚ it carries a casual folksy feel throughout‚ contradictory to its deeper message and paradoxical tone. “Good fences make good neighbors.” This line is a paradox when compared with the previous
