poetry symbols
A symbol is just about the most important aspect of a poem. In chapter 19 of the book it talks about what a symbol is and what it takes to create a symbol in poetry. The perfect poem to show this is The Road Not Taken this peom discusses how the author had to roads to choose from and describes the inner battle within him or her self in order to decied which road to take. To me in this poem the roads are symbolizing two different paths the author can choose to take for their life. I love the inner battle the author has because it is so real... Everyday so many people go through this battle with themselves.

The constant battle from with in Frost demonstrated this to a tea with this poem. I wander what might have been from time to time. he also talks about not always taking the easy route. The more time and effort it takes the more enjoyable the reward.
