orchard” is one of the major imageries that explains the theme. It reads: “There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines.” It is obvious that Robert Frost does not literally mean that apple tree can move and eat cones‚ but this imagery serves as a metaphor that the persona and his friend are different‚ perhaps in personality‚ culture or living style. Pine and apple have very distinct colour and shapes

One of Robert Frost’s most popular poems‚ “The Road Not Taken‚” uses the choice between two roads to symbolize important decisions to be made regarding everyday life. The poem begins with “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood‚/And sorry I could not travel both” (1-2).
