This question is about the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
1. The word "yellow" was used at the beginning of the poem to characterize the environment in which the speaker is located. In stating that the forest was yellow (instead of adopting adjectives that characterize the forest), the speaker shows how the environment, where two paths were placed for him to choose, was uniform and stable, pleasant.
2. Frost does not make this change any clearer, because he wishes that during the reading of the first three stanzas, the reader recognizes himself within the speaker that he needs to make a choice at the present time, now, making the poem more thought-provoking and exciting, than revealing that the choice has already happened. This happens, because before we know that the poem portrays a memory of the speaker, we have unpredictability as an influential point in reading.
3. Frost is not being honest with the reader, because he does not reveal whether his choice was pleasurable, or whether he took him to dark places that promote discomfort. With that, he is maintaining unpredictability and showing that we will never be sure if the result of our choices was positive.
Answer:
some creepy and spooky onomatopoeias: BOOOOO GRRRRRRRR WOOOOOO AWOOOOOO etc.
The theme developed in both stories which represents a life lesson, and coincides in Marigolds” and “First Love”, deals with the meaning of emapthy and love while we are growing up. In a general sense, empathy is defined as the human ability to understand and share the feelings of another while love is an intense feeling of deeper affection. These two feelings are brought to light by the authors of both stories in different ways and, through their main female characters whose ages are before their adulthood.
When comparing the stories, the plots used by the authors coincide in two important items. The first one is the age of the main female characters who are in the childhood and, the second is that they believe that empathy means to love someone. While the main character of Marigolds thinks that destroying Miss Dottie’s marigolds symbolizes the antipathy, felt by the rest of her friends, to this lady; the main character of First love believes that the first empathy kiss received from an elder man means He is in love with her. The conflict of both stories is solved at the end, when the females regret the things they did during their childhood.
In Marigolds, she regrets her behavior, stating:
“In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion”
In First love: she recgnized how mistaken and innocent she had been to think that the boy was deeply in love with her, she stops to be a child.
Its the first option. sorry i couldn't write it, it took me to the next question
