Everyone needs a sense of morality in life. These moral values ​​can be learned from family members, past experiences or even nature. Robert Frost takes imagery, emotion, symbolism, and he often uses nature in his poetry to not only paint a picture in the reader's mind, but also to create more of each work. Robert Frost was born to a publisher for a father, and a member of the Swedish church. His father started as a teacher, then became editor of the San Francisco Evening Bulletin. Isabelle Moodie, his mother, baptized him in the Swedish church. Later in Frost's life he left this church. Frost was born in San Francisco (“Biography of Robert Frost,” poethunter.com). In 1994, he published his first poem, "The Butterfly: An Elegy", on November 8, 1894, at the age of 20. He published this work in the New York newspaper. Frost was a unique poet in that he stood between 19th century poetry and modern poetry. James M. Cox said: "Although his career spans entirely the modern period, and although it is impossible to speak of him as anything other than a modern poet, it is difficult to place him within the main tradition of modern poetry” (“Robert Frost”, poetryfoundation.org). One of Robert Frost's most famous poems, "The Road Not Taken," uses imagery heavily to create meaning. Throughout the poem, most people would take the picture painted by the words alone. By analyzing the diction, you can see the moral really surface. “Two woods parted in a yellow wood, / and sorry I couldn't travel both / and be one traveler, I stood a long time / and looked at one as far as I could / there where he stooped in the undergrowth;" ("The Road Not Taken", poetryfoundtaion.org) Using imagery, he begins the poem with ...... middle of paper ...... regrets it. “Two paths diverged in a wood, and I... / I took the one less traveled by, / and that made all the difference.” Frost uses the repetition of the first sentence to emphasize the importance of deciding which path to take. He knew that this path might have difficult times and that it would not be easy, but he also knew that the reward would be greater if he fought for it. He also gained experience and it changed the person he is today. The main moral I took from the story was the importance of independence and originality. The narrator could easily have followed the precedent set by others on the metaphorical path, some further traveled than others. By choosing the path less traveled, he would be a follower, but he chose to lead his own way. He did not let others choose the outcome of his life; he was free from peer pressure for his decisions.
