Robert Frost was an American poet and playwright who became one of the leading pioneers of poetry from the late 1800s to the 1900s. Frost grew up in rural New England in the early 20th century and experienced many difficulties in his life, including the loss of his father at the age of eleven and the loss of two children at a very young age. He used his childhood experience in a rural area in most of his poems. Another major theme of his poems are decision poems usually based on his own life. This is an important element in his poems because Frost always wondered what would have happened if he had decided to do something other than write poetry with his life. He always wondered how his life would be different and this is evident in his poems such as “The Road Not Taken”. A theme often used in Frost's poems is decision making. Frost made many life-changing decisions, such as dropping out of college after two months. All these decisions affected his life a lot and this is shown in many of his poems; I will tell this with a sigh. Somewhere centuries and centuries ago: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that made all the difference. This is an excerpt from Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken." The poem is about two paths that Frost encounters while traveling that branch off on the road. He states that the two roads seemed about equal but that one road was much busier than the other because of the grass surrounding it, unlike the other road where it was completely covered in snow and had little traffic. people dared to enter. Frost says he decided to take the road less traveled and because of that his life was different. The meaning of a poem like this is that... in the middle of a page... someone can write a poem so unique that it makes the reader think about what the poet means. This journal showed me that every author has different qualities and no one writes the same way and that Robert Frosts has a lot of power in some areas and lacks power in others. Frost's poems will be read for many years and will always make the reader think before moving on to another poem because that is how different Frost's poems are from those of other poets. Frost takes readers outside the box and uses his personal life in most of his poems so the reader can understand where he is coming from. Without poems like “The Wall That Heals” or “The Road Not Taken,” we would not have the idea to examine a situation more closely. Frost changed the literary world and we will continue to learn and try to understand all of his amazing poems for years to come..
