Explanation:
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.
It seems as though the Author's purpose is to appeal to a reader's sense of positivity.
Answers with Explanations:
1. How are Lourdes and Enrique's departures from Honduras similar? How are they different?
Lourdes and Enrique's departures from Honduras are similar in a way that they are both searching for something. Lourdes was looking for a better job, so she can give her children a better life while Enrique was looking for his mother, the only person he thinks can understand him
The only difference in their departures is that Lourdes legally migrated to the U.S.A. for work while Enrique went there illegally. It was a dangerous endeavor for Enrique, but he was able to manage although he needed to weather many threats.
2. What is your opinion on learning from a parent's life experiences? Do you think that we learn from our parents or that we, as children, make the same mistakes?
I believe that we, as children, <em>learn from a parent's life experiences.</em> This gives us the chance to change and not commit the same mistakes. Although it's true that parents are the first teachers of children at home, observing their situation (especially if it's bad or negative) gives children a warning sign of not repeating the same mistakes.
Answer:
I agree with the poem's message that a positive attitude can make the world a better place.
Explanation:
As we can see in the poem, a positive attitude towards something unexpected or negative can be fundamental to life.
The poem has very few lines, however there is a great message in it. The speaker has an encounter with a raven that throws snow on him, and instead of getting angry, the speaker changes his mood in a positive way: he feels rued and saved.
The speaker could have been angered by this unexpected event and reacted in a bad way, even this could have ruined his day. However, he takes a positive and humorous attitude.
If we all did the same with the bad things that happen to us, the world would definitely be a better place.
