It’s been almost a year and 2 months since me and my family were sent to the Gulag. I’ve already lost two toes from the frost bite. My father ran a church for fifteen years and had a fairly happy life with my two sisters and mother. When “uncle joe’s” secret police came, they shot both my mother and sisters.

For many Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken,” is thought to be a poem that symbolically challenges individuals to take the road less traveled in life. However, Frost’s work can also be taken in a more literal sense as many have often noticed that there was not a road less traveled but both roads were equally worn. No matter what one sees as the motivation for this thought provoking poem, the use of figurative language such as metaphors, imagery, symbolism, is a reflective depiction of the

The good, the bad, and the smelly Little do many people know that a long long time ago in a place not so far away, I was a boyscout.

There were two sighns at this fork in the road, and just before the devide sat a very confortible chair made of feathers, which beckoned to my weary mind.

thinking. I live in Illinois, and in the winter we can get a lot of snow and the conditions can be pretty rough.
