Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts Robert Frost's use of natural imagery, the themes, and the tone in two of his most famous poems, "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
From the Paper
"The outcome of the decision is different in these cases; however, it is difficult to determine what the actual outcome of the narrator?s decision is in ?Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening? because the poem is told in the present tense. However, the narrator does appreciate the woods for being ?lovely, dark, and deep,? and therefore would probably linger longer if he had more time (line 13). He is sensible, though, and makes his decision to leave without complaint. The author keeps his promises and has no reason to regret his action. On the other hand, the narrator of ?The Road Not Taken? does feel lingering regret at the outcome of his decision to take one path over the other. He realizes that ?way leads on to way,? and that he will never retrace his steps (line 14). Because he will never know what lie along the other path, a sense of curiosity and mild regret fills him. The speaker realizes that his choice has changed his fate and that one simple decision can alter the rest of his life."

Abstract

"Robert Frost frequently describes nature in his poems, and for the most part, the conflict between man and nature is evident. Frost seems to be on nature's side as a poet because he is attracted to nature, yet his poetry is about how humans come to terms with all aspects of nature. Frost uses relationships between man and nature to make choices about being alone for the sense of peace in his poetry."

While many widows fell apart and the children had to grow up quickly Frost?s mother reacted with forethought and calmness, making the decision to move her family to Massachusetts to be with her extended family members."

Poetry of Robert Frost, 2004.
This paper discusses Robert Frost's poems about choices: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," "Fire and Ice," and "The Road Not Taken".

Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Frost's poetry examines nature's voice and reveals his idea about the challenges man must meet, especially in terms of choice and desire. The author points out that "The Road Not Taken" implies the realization that people often cannot return to where they were in the past; therefore, choices contribute to people's overall makeup. The paper concludes that many messages can be discerned from Frost's poems about choices; choices can be misunderstood by others, can pull a person in two different directions, and are what people do with the time given them.
From the Paper
"In "Fire and Ice," Frost muses upon the forces of destruction that are said to end the world. He represents these forces in a dichotomy of fire and ice. He attributes an emotion to each side of the coin, desire for fire, and hate for ice. Frost puts forward his choice of the two in this stanza: "From what I've tasted of desire/ I hold with those who favor fire." In this way, he clearly defines himself as a man with desires, and recognizes his potential to be consumed by them, as if by flames."

Abstract
By examining specific poems by Frost and Wordsworth the author of this paper is able to draw comparisons between their two styles and note on differences and similarities. The author notes, for example, that both Frost and Wordsworth maintain the idea that poetry should be written in the natural language, rather than elaborating to make the poems perplexing. Poems analyzed are "The World is too Much with Us" and "The Road not Taken".
From the Paper
"It is known that Frost will second-guess himself somewhere down the line. Frost imagines himself in the future, discussing his life with others. When "sigh" is written, he admits that he will not say that he took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference. Instead he will say that there is no right path, just the chosen path. Their differences with their imagination consists of Frost looking to the future wondering what he would say about the path he took, Wordsworth wants to go back in the past."

From the Paper
"Robert Frost is commonly regarded by his American public as a poet of Nature, and on occasion likened by his critics to Vergil and Wordsworth. At first glance much of Frost's poetry is unpretentious and simple, having the appearance of clever verbal charms and homely, parochial descriptions. His verse is modest in its diction, colloquial in its syntax and relies on ordinary experience. He affects the stance of the inspired but cool and shrewd New England observer and like Coleridge seems to believe:
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small.
But Frost's apparent loyalty to the ordinary themes of earth and sky, to the heavens with their constellations and the small flowers with their insects, does not necessarily permit Frost to ... "

Nature in Robert Frost's Poetry, 2008.
A discussion of the figure of nature in Robert Frost's poems "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Never Again Would Bird's Song Be the Same" and "The Oven Bird".

Abstract
This paper compares the use of the theme of man's relationship to nature in poet Robert Frost's works "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Never Again Would Bird's Song Be the Same" and "The Oven Bird". The paper argues that the poet frequently used images of nature in order to provide a symbolic reference for his message. All three poems indicate a dichotomy between untouched nature and the human influence, as well as separation from the natural world. The paper points out that rapid technological developments during Frost's lifetime caused him great concern. The paper concludes that, according to the poems discussed here, redemption is only possible by a reconnection to nature.
From the Paper
"Even in this joyous description, the poem is filled with regret. The reader is assumed to know the story of Eve, the fall, and the subsequent banishment from the garden even before reaching the end of the poem. The description of joy itself is therefore also filled with a sense of regret and loss. Regardless of the loss experienced, however, the sense of bittersweet memory remains. The birds are forever influenced by the contact they had with Eve. They regret her loss, and mourn for her, and therefore hold on to her essence in perhaps the vain hope that she might return some day."

Robert Frost's Poetry, 2008.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the message of Frost in his poems "Out, Out" and "Putting in the Seed". Specifically, the paper considers his attitude to nature and work, his values and his presentation of various characters.
From the Paper
"In the poem 'Out, Out' Robert Frost has quite a negative approach to life and work. The poem is about a boy who has a job sawing wood but dies after getting distracted and cutting his hand off. Frost describes how the boy 'counts so much when saved from work', that it would 'please the boy by giving him the half hour' and to 'call it a day'. It suggests that the boy hates work so much that he would have so much appreciation for an extra half an hour off. This is a different attitude to work than the one in 'Putting in the Seed' where it is described positively."

Robert Frost -- Swinger of Birches, 2002.
A discussion of imagery in the poetry of Robert Frost with an emphasis on his poem "Birches".

Abstract
This paper concentrates primarily on the imagery of Robert Frost?s poems, but also shows how a poetic genius weaves together the various elements of poetry, such as rhythm, rhyme, and symbol, to form an artistic entity. It demonstrates by using his poem "Birches" as an example how, by use of uncomplicated diction, common images and simple rhymes, Frost creates blank verse capable of transmission from the heart and mind of one man to the innermost depths of countless humans far distant in time and place. It looks at how the poem, which centers around a boy swinging on some birches is symbolic of the creative imagination of the poet himself.
From the Paper
"Frost acknowledges that in his New England boyhood he was himself a swinger of birches, a real boy swinging on real trees. He begins with the image that he prefers, of a boy bending the birches, "as he went out and in to fetch the cows." He blames his extended metaphor about the ice storm on "Truth," with a capital T, breaking in "With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm." (Untermeyer 192). This is an example of Frost's humorous playfulness as he turns his images around to suit his point. He prefers a simple natural truth of a boy swinging birches to some intellectual ideal about the "inner dome of heaven." From his natural image he evolves a far reaching philosophical view. The idea of swinging birches, he says, can take a man away from earthly pain and lift him "Toward heaven" (Untermeyer 193). Being a simple earthy swinger of birches offers a more powerful alternative to Frost than being a high flying philosopher."

Abstract
This paper shows how, by reading Robert Frost?s poems, we can see influences that have shaped his life and given life and energy to his poems. Through a review of some of his poems, such as ?Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Mending Wall?, and ?Blueberries?, it looks at how some of these influences include being connected to other people, being connected to everyday life, and being connected to nature.
From the Paper
"He also shows this ability to see the best in something that could be taken negatively in ?Going for Water.? The well by the door was empty. It was night, and cold. Many people might have complained that they shouldn?t have to go until morning, that it was too cold, or too dark at night, or that someone else should have done the chore earlier. Instead, Frost embraces the mundane chore as an opportunity. He even talks someone into accompanying him. Although they have a wondeful shared experience, Frost is joyful before the experience of the clear sound of water on cool night. He describes how they travel to the creek: ?We ran as if to meet the moon? -- as if every step he took out his door into nature contained the potential for a small miracle."

Robert Frost and Nature, 2007.
An analysis of nature as portrayed in Robert Frost's poetry.
3,158 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 12 sources, MLA, AU$ 133.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Robert Frost's view of nature, stating that, while he usually sees nature as a dangerous adversary, this is because he is commenting on the human condition and the material world. However, Frost has his moments of spiritual inspiration when nature produces some wondrous effect that transforms him and transports him into bliss. The paper explains that such experiences bring a new understanding of the self.
From the Paper
"Robert Frost did not want to be known as a "nature poet." He said many times, "I am not a nature poet. There is almost always a person in my poems" (Frost Friends web site, 1). Two rare exceptions are "Spring Pools" and "A Winter Eden," but even those poems are not about nature. They are about the notion of perfection. The spring pools are described as "almost without defect" while a snow scene is portrayed as "paradise."
On the other hand, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," which is frequently read as a nature poem, really has very little nature in it. Frost says the woods "are lovely, dark and deep" and then immediatly turns away from them because the poem is not about the woods."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Robert Frost's life and its connection to his work, with a particular emphasis on his famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." The paper gives a brief biography of Frost's life. It then examines some of the comments made by his critics. The author rebuts these comments by showing the originality and innovation in Frost's poetry. This originality is exemplified in the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," one of the most studied and critiqued American poems. The poem itself is analyzed with parts written into the text of the paper. The author concludes that, contrary to what Frost's critics may have said, his works are complex and sometimes complicated, especially if the reader takes the time to read them more than once.
From the Paper
"Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in March 1874. His father died when he was eleven, and he moved to Massachusetts to live with his grandparents. He was co-valedictorian for his high school, and began writing poetry during his high school years. He attended Dartmouth College for only one term, and then worked at several different jobs, including journalist and schoolteacher. He sold his first poem in 1894 and his first book of poetry in 1913. In 1897, he returned to school at Harvard, and attended two more years. In 1900, he moved to New Hampshire and attempted to become a poultry farmer, but he returned to teaching in 1906. His years in New Hampshire provided many of the poems that he would become world famous for, including "Mending Wall" and "Mowin." "
