    Katasha Pollard Intro to Lit. Kelly Gamble 10/12/15 Robert Frost Robert Frost’s poems and stories bring him alive as a person and poet, showing him in the process of thinking through, reevaluating, and stating many of his most important beliefs, ideas, interpretations, and rhymes.

They show a noteworthy intelligence at work and provide access to the (typically hidden) processes underlying Frost’s pieces, as well as a set of his most important concerns. Also the most important are Frost’s general explanations on human nature, behavior, also on social and governmental association (these often struck me as remarkably perceptive of modern scientific and ethical view).…
