Frost
Through the reading of Frosts poetry, the style and the content of his poems have become more easily identifiable. One major stylistic thing that Frost likes to do with his meter is have it be consistent, but have some exceptions in some lines. Another thing that Frost likes to do with meter and rhyme is have his content affect the pattern. For example if frost is writing about a storm as in "Storm Fear" he has a consistent rhyme and meter at the beginning of the poem when it is peaceful, but a messed up rhyme and meter during while he is describing the storm. Frosts rhyme usually has a rough, not very strict pattern to it. Usually Frost writes in stanza's, and he occasionally has poems with lots of dialog that are written as if they are a story in a book. Frost also likes to make use of poetry devices such as enjambment, personification, and pathetic fallacy. The content of Frost's poems usually center around the relationship between man and nature, the passing of time, and the impact of making choices.
I agree to this post Zack. Like you said in the first line how Frosts style and content becomes more easily identifiable as you keep reading the poems. Also, when you keep reading the poems Frosts usage of walls become more noticeable too, and you can began to easily relate some poems with other ones. There is a theme of death that seems to tie into a great amount of his writing too, which becomes clearer as you keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zack as well that his style and content becomes easily identifiable. I also agree with Justin that Frosts usage of Walls becomes more noticeable. In fact, he eventually comes out and talks about building a literal man-made wall. This was definitely a change from some of his other poems since Frost usually uses personification or pathetic fallacy or sometimes innuendos get his point across. It makes me wonder why Frost would make his meanings more noticeable and identifiable as apposed to making the reader read between the lines a bit.

ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the three of you. I find it interesting how he can make his separation between two things (or walls) evident in his poems. His use of figurative language like pathetic fallacy, as Cam said, make his poems very unique. The figurative language, along with his ability to connect the meaning of his poems to the form in which they are presented to the reader, make his poems very enjoying to read.
