Each poem has its own meaning. Most of the time it depends on who wrote the poem and how they felt when they wrote it. Robert Frost, in “Stopping at Woods on a Snowy Evening,” shows that he had places to be rather than where he wanted to be. The reader can always get an idea of ​​what is happening from the initial idea of ​​the poem. Robert Frost was born March 26, 1874 in San Francisco. He died on January 29, 1963 in Boston. His parents were William Prescott Frost Jr. and Isabelle Moodie. He went to Dartmouth College and later Harvard College but never received a degree. His first poem that he published was titled “My Butterfly.” “He was the co-valedictorian of Lawrence High School.” (Sarah Johnson) Eventually, he married the high school co-valedictorian. He has received numerous awards and recognitions throughout his career. “He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1923, 1931, 1937 and 1943.” (Beacham Walton) He served as poetry consultant to the Library of Congress. He also quoted one of his poems during the inauguration before President John F. Kennedy. He accomplished a lot during his life. One of his most famous poems is called “The Road Not Taken.” In the first stanza of “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening,” you learn that there is a man looking at the woods that belong to another man. “He won’t see me stopping here,” shows that the other guy has no idea. (Line 3) The guy fears he will commit an offense by looking at the woods because they don't belong to him. It practically steals the look from the woods. There is alliteration in the second, third and four lines. There is hyperbole in the fourth line that says, “To watch his woods fill with snow.” (Line 4) He couldn't wait for the woods to fill with snow... middle of paper... more than one poem when they truly understand the full meaning.
