know whose woods these are." By moving the word “woods” to the beginning of the sentence, Frost gives it more noticeable quality or force. In the second line, "His home is in the village though;" the final word makes no logical meaning because "though" should make some inconsistency to the statement before.

complications from surgery. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening is one of Frost 's most famous poems. It is a short poem that appears to be very straightforward. In it, the speaker and his horse stop in the dark woods on their way home to admire the snow, but soon realize they must leave as it is late and they still have a long way to travel. While this poem is indeed very short -- just 4 stanzas of iambic tetrameter, it is far from simple. The night Frost wrote Stopping by Woods on a Snowy…

“The night draws down. The baby has a cold. Here, take this blanket, it’s wool. It was my mother’s blanket―take it for the baby. This is the thing to bomb. This is the beginning―from ‘I’ to ‘we’” (152). This statement used by Steinbeck marks the transition from “I” to “we” in the novel, where people stop thinking about just themselves and start thinking about others in the exact same situation as them. They begin to learn that they’re not the only ones struggling to find jobs, earn money, and…

Suddenly you notice that the surface is cracking with every single step you take. Step after step the cracks become more and more pronounced, and you can only think of two things. First thing being reaching safety, while the…

As the film progresses we are able to observe how their dark pasts left…

Take a slow, deep breath, winter is here. There is a particular stillness that characterizes winter and with it comes a subtle invitation to embrace a long, dark, season of slumber. This is the time to rest, reflect, hold space, vision, and hibernate. But unfortunately, the calm, peaceful nature of winter can also leave us feeling stagnant or un-inspired. Hibernating isn’t going to burn any calories and that’s why I write this article to make you feel inspired to stay healthy and take good care…

speaker loves nature, obviously because he is wondering aimlessly in the woods. He is impulsive, because even though he contemplates the other road for a while, in a split second he chooses the other one, simply because it is less traveled. This could represent not taking the easy way out and getting…

underlying theme for the poem. Although Robert Frost’s poem is titled “Desert Places,” he uses snowy, night scenes as his “desert,” which symbolize a feeling of unconventional loneliness and isolation. The scene of the poem is set in a field with only woods surrounding it. Frost uses imagery to describe the scene when he says, “the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a…
