Poetry task Essay Example For Students

Poetry task Essay The main two similarities in these two poems are choices and the love for nature. In The Road Not Taken, the speaker comes across two roads. We can see this when he states in the first stanza two roads diverged in a yellow wood (Robert Frost, 2013, p. 613) but then says Had worn them really about the same (Robert Frost, 2013, p. 613) in the last line of the second stanza. One that the majority had taken and one that was less taken. He makes the decision not to go with the majority, but to be himself and takes the path less traveled. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening talks about stopping on a property that was omen elses, but the speaker wanted to watch the snow fill the trees. The conflict for each speaker in both of Robert Frost poems was that they had to make a concrete decision. In The Road Not Taken, the speaker resolves his conflict by taking the road less taken. Although we can see that in the last stanzas he rethinks his decision on what would have been if he had taken the other road. After observing them he came to the conclusion that they were both equally the same. In Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening the beaker bases his decision when he says, but I have promises to keep (Robert Frost, 2013, p. 611) which might have been promises he made to his village. Both of these poems are similar in a way that they both relate to nature and decision making. Reading them together, gives you the impression that choices are important. We should choose every decision we make in life wisely. What we choose today will reflect on us the day of tomorrow. We might think back at the time when we made the decision at that precise time, but know that we Anton go back in time and therefore made the right choice. Positive or negative we cannot blame destiny or others for our choices we do, make or have made through our life time. References Frost, R. (2013).
