  • Fork Of A Road

    746 Words  | 2 Pages

    Robert Frost puts his persona in front of a road diverging, and he must make a decision on which to take. The two roads are almost identical, but one is less traveled by. He looks ahead, but can’t see far, due to “where it bent in the undergrowth';. Alistair MacLeod does it differently; the narrator has come to a fork in the road, but without hesitation he takes the more traveled by. This is the first contrast between the two literatures. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." the leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road. Perhaps Frost does this because each time a person comes to the point where they have to make a choice, it is new to them, somewhere they have never been and they tend to feel as though no one else had ever been there either. The persona took the road less traveled by. The road he chooses makes him the man he is. MacLeod makes his narrator take the other road; he brings the glass of water to John’s mother without thinking of what lies ahead. To Jenny this had great meaning it represents engagement. Like most young males he takes the easy way and gets what he wants, or does he. He gets a son, loses his relationship with Jenny, and carries the guilt of not taking the right road before.

    First off, the first song seen in the book is sang by the dwarves. The song was more serious in tone and had a simple structure with one point stating the objective of their journey. In the book the song has no interesting punctuation and the dwarves kept repeating the fact that they wanted their gold. This gives evidence that the dwarves are very serious and only care about what is theirs. Aside from that, the song also does a great job of

  • Tone Of The Road Not Taken

    1701 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the poem “The Road Not Taken”, Robert Frost provides a look at the choices one has in life, how one comes to decide which choices are better, and what are the consequences of these choices. The speaker in the poem, in a casual yet serious tone, tells of a journey in the woods that brings him to a fork in the road. The traveler is forced to make a decision between the two paths, as he must decide which path to take. Thematically, the poem argues that no matter how small a decision is, that decision will affect a person’s life forever. The diverging roads are symbolic of the choices society is faced with every day of life. Choosing one course will lead the traveler in one direction, while the other will likely move away, toward a completely

  • Road Not Taken Individuality

    1225 Words  | 3 Pages

    "The Road Not Taken" written by Robert Frost is about the journey of life. Individuality plays a huge role in this poem because, sometimes in life, individuals have to make momentous decisions that will affect the future, or either make propitious selections or regret those decisions. The speaker had to choose one path to take, and it was not easy for the speaker to let go of one path over the other, but why wouldn’t he, if something even better was waiting just around the corner. Feeling impatient, frustrated, and hopeless on route to a life that he wanted, he had to remember that precisely where he chose was to be the best place he could possibly be in, and maybe the journey of the path is better than the destination.

  • Essay On V For Vendetta

    1297 Words  | 3 Pages

    The similarity that they both have was that they both like to have control of the person in their relationships. When I was reading the book V for Vendetta I read this part when Helen was cheating on her husband Conrad when all of the cameras got shut down, she was telling the guy she was cheating on Conrad with about her plan and she said “I’ll be making all the real decisions” (228). When I read this I thought how she likes being in control and wants the last say in what goes on. When I read this part it reminded me of my sister and how after we grew up and she moved out of the house, got a new boyfriend and he does everything she says.When they come over everything they do she makes the last decision about before they actually do it. This affected me because I feel like she has changed from when we were young and she has become very bossy whenever she comes over. I believe she thinks that she needs that control to be happy and how she is just like Helen when she wants to have the last say in what they are going to
