himself that one-day he will return to try again, although it is very unlikely. The speaker anticipates his future with a sigh saying that he took the one less travelled by road making all the difference. Mostly acknowledged as the poet of nature, Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, California, only to become one of the most respected American poets of the twentieth century. While living in Gloucestershire, England in 1914, Frost was inspired to write The Road Not Taken…

Robert Frost once said, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” This is an extremely relatable quote when talking about Frost’s poetry because his home is the setting and background for most of his poems. Frost was named after the famous Confederate General Robert E. Lee. At one point in his life, Frost had debated whether or not he should commit suicide, which will be discussed later in this essay. In addition, Robert Frost, who had lost his father at…

Robert Brown Biology is a very broad topic and many scientists have contributed to the biology world. In this paper I will be talking about one of those people who had a major contribution to the science community. “Robert Brown was born on December 21, 1773 in Montrose Scotland. He died on June 10, 1858 at the age of 84 in London England” (Britannica 1). Robert Brown most recognized by how he described the “cell nuclei and the continuous motion of minute particles in solution, which came to…

In Robert Frost’s blank verse poem “‘Out, Out-,’” the speaker recounts the story of a young boy who loses his hand, and ultimately his life, while working with a buzz-saw, presumably on his family’s farm. The speaker remains an observer throughout the narrative, presenting the poem in the first person. The use of first-person narration establishes an intimacy between the speaker and reader, so that the reader sympathizes with the speaker and not the “they.” “They” remain ambiguous throughout the…

Robert Frost is known for his poetry with underlying themes that seem very complex but, are in fact very simple to understand if you just put in a little work. In 1916 the poet wrote the poem The Road Not Taken. When you first look at the work it seems very short and very unintresting it just seems like your average ABAAB poem. What truly sets his works apart is how he uses an underlying metaphor which is hidden within his poetry to tell the reader the true meaning of the poem so that for those…

In the poem “After Apple-Picking” by Robert Frost there is a complex message as most poem or works of literature do. In this specific poem there is a message of death or the thought of death and how the narrator feels about how his life was lived and when his own personal end will come. As he thinks his life was to repetitive and not as he wanted it since he is just a simple apple picker. In the pome Robert Frost mentioned “Long ...Or just human sleep” (Apple-picking 42) as the “Apple Picker”…

In the book, “Duty, Memoirs of a Secretary of State”, former Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates describes his experiences as Secretary of State while serving for two Presidential Administrations from 2006-2011. This Paper will analyze former Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates, as a strategic leader in two specific areas: his ability to build consensus and unite the Military and Congress with a unifying strategic approach to the war in Iraq during his first year (2006-2007) under President…

him when he came home from work but I was. I was gullible, giving, compliant and patient. When I took a turn for the worse I had no idea how to escape but knew that my decline would affect our son. I could not be the mother I was nor wanted to be… Robert D. Hare’s book…

Porphyria’s Lover is a short dramatic monologue written by Robert Browning in 1836. For the duration of this essay I will refer to the speaker of the poem using male pronouns, as it best supports my argument if he is male. The poem’s plot centres around the speaker; his lover; her murder and the speaker’s telling of the events. I believe that this is poem hinges on the speaker’s fragile masculinity. The most striking feature of this poem is the speaker, who is undeniably suffering from extreme…

In the poem “The Road Not Taken”, Robert Frost describes an individual's struggle to make a choice between what is expected and what is different. Through Frost’s use of a strict, yet sometimes wavering meter along with an ABAAB rhyme scheme, the use of imagery and metaphors, and the contradiction Frost makes in the last stanza, he is able to portray the difficulty in making decisions and the outcome of those choices. The meter of the poem would be considered to be iambic tetrameter, yet lines…
