Fros's peorty is more about people than nature. Discuss
It looks into the choices that people make and uses the metaphor of two roads in order to show this. He acknowledges that he is unable to travel down both "I could not travel both", so is forced to travel one. He chooses to take the one that is less travelled by "I took the one less travelled by" and by doing so decides to seize the day and express himself as an individual, claiming that his life was fundamentally different than it would have been had he chosen the more well travelled path.

Commentarty: Mending Wall by Robert Frost
This shows that Frost's poem about a neighbour who insists on having a wall between his property and the next is simply a metaphor for the walls and barriers that we set in society. This commentary will explain some of the techniques that Frost uses and also the ideas which he wished to convey in his poem "Mending Wall". The title "Mending Wall" has aroused many questions for critics; what did Frost mean by calling his poem "Mending Wall"?

Dead Poets Society
Finally, Dead Poets Society touches on finding one's voice and doing what one believes is right. However, Dead Poets Society is not the only place these lessons are shown. They are also displayed in numerous poems and quotations, which only emphasizes their importance. 'To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time', written by Robert Herrick, a quotation from Henry Thoreau, 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost, and the "Carpe Diem- Seize the Day" are only a few examples.

How does Ratsushinskaya depict her suffering? Discuss with reference to two poems.
Which shows her determination to survive the regime, and how it would never make her stop writing her poetry. Irina Ratushinskaya has written many poems, most of which portray her will to survive and also the torture she went through in the camp. Two examples of her poetry that show this well are, 'I will Travel Through the land' and 'I will Live and Survive'. These two poems are different as they explain different aspects of being in a labour camp, however they both depict suffering and focus on some of the same themes. In 'I will Travel Trough the Land', Irina Ratushinskaya uses her emotions to tell the reader about getting moved from one labour camp to another.

Robert Frost Selected Poems - 'The Road Not Taken' and 'Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening' - Analysis and Appreciation
However, they mainly concentrate on conveying a much deeper, more intense message. The teachings of Robert Frost are often very emotional. I very much enjoy reading his poems and trying to interpret their true meanings. I found that writing this essay made me understand the poems that I had already read many times even more clearly. 'The Road Not Taken' is a very thoughtful and meaningful poem. The traditional but experimental and unique verses attract readers to the poem, as they are different from other poems.

Robert Frost said that a poem should
After cleaning the 'pasture spring' he considers waiting 'to watch the water clear', this can be interpreted in different ways. Perhaps he wanted to make sure he had done the job properly, or it could be that he takes delight in watching the waters clear and wants to wait watch 'it clear' or perhaps it could be simply that he wants the moment to last, as he enjoys it so. In life I generally find that things I do not enjoy drag on and on, seemingly taking longer that they actually are, yet things that I enjoy seem to go faster.
