restraints keep individuals occupied and disconnected from nature. Readers during and after the 20th and 21st century of Frost’s pastoral poetry can catch a glimpse of nature before modernization.

community for compromising the sovereignty of states by means of foreign intervention. Events like the riots in Venezuela and the Taliban rising to power in Afghanistan are both symptoms of U.S intervention in foreign affairs outside of its own borders.
