Frost at Midnight

road that was less taken. During the poem“The Road Not Taken” By Robert Frost he is talking about he took the road that is less traveled not literally but to symbolize something.

Art can take the form of many styles and still accurately depict the time or the subject that the artist had wanted to create. Although very different in style, both Ernest Withers’ “Sanitation Workers Assemble in front of Clayborn Temple for a Solidarity March, Memphis, TN, March 28, 1968” and Beauford Delaney’s “Can Fire in the Park” are authentic to the time, place, and artist.

However, as he keeps staring at the paths he notices that they seem “worn about the same”(Frost) which means both roads look similar. He…
