As the traveler in Frost’s poem is walking along a path, he came to a fork in that path.

Robert Frost wrote the poem “The Road Not Taken” in 1916 (Hirschberg and Hirschberg 800). There are qualities about Frost’s poems that made them really popular and these qualities “can be seen in ‘The Road Not Taken,’” (Hirschberg and Hirschberg 800). This poem in particular depicts how people must make choices in life and that the choices made affect the rest of their life. Frost uses setting, a variety of images, and certain words to enhance the poem’s theme and to make it easier to understand.

“Kissing” by Fleur Adcock deals with the transitions in a relationship. There isn’t any noticeable rhyme scheme or meter to the poem; the syllable count is almost regular. Since the poem only has two stanzas - both focusing on a relationship very different from each other in terms of time - there is a strong contrast between the modern and the traditional relationships. To expand on this further, the events seem to have been chronologically arranged as things would progress in a relationship. Figurative techniques such as enjambment has been used throughout the poem to refer to the passage of time.

Towards the end, there is a drastic change of the indecisive tone to a tone of regret. In this poem there is a line that is “I shall be telling this with a sigh”, Robert Frost shows a sign of regret, meaning he made the wrong decision. Not all decisions have to be

Unlike any other poet, Simon’s selection of words and implication the poem carries indicates a Road Journey that happened to have situation than could have cause a crash or even death. Thus Ortiz’s poem did not include any sort of sound or rhythm, he was able to relate his word with meanings that it carried. Ortiz 's poem is a simple intervention on the "two seconds" on the road. It 's likely that the poet means in the moment, that he is merely passed by a truck as focus shifts from the road. Ortiz slows down this thought, slowing down even the words, "fly away, tumbling invisibly".

These irresponsible teenagers whom are not specified, leave school and interesting enough, they are now “cool”. They were outcast in schools, the outsiders that could not handle responsibility and decided altogether to leave school permanently.

When they change, the objects that the Shepherd brought about will no longer have any meaning to the Nymph. All in all “The Shepherd” and “The Nymph” have very different viewpoints on many things such as love, materialistic items, time, and even nature. The Shepherd and The Nymph don’t have many similarities, they are quite different. If I had to compare the two only using one word for each, I would say the Shepherd is optimistic, while the Nymph is pessimistic. The Shepherd and the Nymph both have different viewpoints on love, materialistic items, nature, and

But even in bad times, my spirit was growing and over time, they started to say that this time I wasn’t going to give up or myself like I did so many times in the past. The difference for me was that when I did give up on life, it wasn’t mine to begin with.

Our problems are not what define us, it is how we respond to them. Life defining decisions are built up over time leading you to a fork in the road. The path maybe simple but that does not mean that when you get to a fork in the road the decision will be any easier. Although I truly believe that people face more than one fork in the road in their lifetime. It is too unrealistic to say there's only one, because how would someone know they do not live your life.

No kid in high school feels as though the fit in.”
