Robert Frost

Instead of listing a million random facts about Robert Frost, I figure i will give you the link to a page full of facts about him, and I will write some about his poetrey from our book.

The three poems in our book by Robert Frost seemed to describe some kind of jouney that he was on. The first poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", the charecter seems to be resisting the need to keep going into the woods, which are describes as lovey, dark, and deep. It seems this is a jouney that he does not want to go on with.

The second poem "The Road Not Taken", he is on a walk and comes to a fork in his path. He is unsure of with path to take. Eventually he chooses the path that is "less taveled". It seems to me that he chooses this path becuase he wants to choose a path that is different than than many of the people before him. But there is always going to be that curiosity about the other path, and what may have happened.

The final poem "Acquainted with the Nigh" is about his journey through a city at night. This poem is a little out of place for Frost, most of his poems and centered around nature. But this jouney seems to be one that he has to take, mabye he has done something and has to get away, or he could just be out for a walk.

The order of these poems in the book show significace. The first poem is a jouney that is not taken, the second one, he has a choice to take one or the other, the final poem is a journey that he has to take. These poems relate to our everyday lives and the choices that we must make. Some things we have no reason to do and don't, other times we must choose between two things. and then sometimes we have no choice, its just something that we have to do.
