Somehow they seem to interconnect by the historical context which motivated these writers to produce such kind of work related to journey although each one of them have described journey in a different way regarding to historical phase which was going on at the time. First of all the historical context of the poem “The Road Not Taken” is World War I and urbanization. This source is useful to show how Frost’s life and his time period affected the poems meaning. Themes can also be used to argue that Frost doesn’t take a side with individuality, but is just trying to say that life is full of choices that can make a difference (Shurr, 2003, 584-590). This source is really admirable because it is very thorough and provides a plethora of
It reinforces the fact that we are all different yet have purpose and are equally important. Robert Frosts “Road not Taken” shows us that life is a choice. Our journey through life begins with choosing which path we take, yet it also suggests we will more than likely remember it differently when we look back or speak of it in the future. In all 4 texts, we take a physical journey (outward journey) as we accompany the protagonist on their journey. We learn how each journey effects and changes their views, beliefs and at times, their feelings about themselves as well as others (inner
Because this isn’t a fairy tale, and there is no actual ‘adventure’ taking place, this can be viewed as the protagonist refusing to take on the quest he is being presented. Realizing this allows the reader to understand that the story is then moving on to the second stage – the struggle, or initiation. Usually during the struggle/initiation of a monomyth archetype structure in a story, the hero figure being presented is exploring their unconscious self, and realizing their deepest fears and concerns. In ‘The Step Not Taken’, the narrator expressed that he is haunted with a sense of regret for not doing anything to help the man in the elevator. In his own way, this is him
“The Journey leads to greater understanding”. This thesis cleverly states the importance of a journey, it expresses that through experiences in journeys a greater understanding will be obtained. This thesis can be shown in the poems, Summer Rain by John Foulcher and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, the classic American novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and the children’s picture book, Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. In Robert Frost’s poem, The Road Not Taken the individual in the poem is analysing two different paths that are both equally appealing, yet he can only choose one to travel. On this journey the individual develops a greater understanding of both of the roads he is choosing from which he starts to develop a clearer view of the two, instead of stereotyping them.

In the story “The Steps Not Taken” by Paul D’Angelo, our narrator which is our hero undergoes a personal journey on how to respond to others suffering. In literature, this is known as the Monomyth Archetype. A Monomyth archetype is made up of three stages that our hero moves through and these stages are separation, struggle and return and reintegration. After the hero goes through his brief experience, it is now a defining moment where he experiences an epiphany that shapes his understanding and view on life and others. Even though the characteristics of this Monomyth are not obvious, it will be later on explained and be supported to better understand our hero’s quest.
‘There is no road to peace. Peace is the road’. To what extent does McGirr find peace on the road? Michael McGirr’s Bypass: The Story of a Road describes the author’s own journey down the Hume in a self-depricating and often witty manner. He finds peace within himself as he reflects upon and makes observations on people past and present who were affected by “Australia’s main street”.
Peter Skrzynecki’s poems such as ‘10 Mary Street’, Feliks Skrzynecki ‘The Folk Museum’ and ‘Ancestors’ I feel, all show a sense of detachment and not belonging. The Folk museum and ‘Ancestors’ both show that the author may have lost a sense of belonging to his heritage and culture and now cannot find a new sense of being be part of these areas. Through this I believe that it
There is no sign of God or of religion), nor in a church like building, nor in the behaviour of the other persons on the island (prayers, hymns). The speaker finally comes to ask himself whether the pilgrimage’s destination was he himself and recognizes that God is inexplicable and to be found rather “in here” rather than “out there”. The speaker is explicit to us as he is a pilgrim who describes the situation on the island with which he is confronted and reflects on it, on the sense of his pilgrimage, and on God, in an inner monologue. Other persons are mentioned in the poem: “those”, “they”, who we might identify as the inhabitants of the island and may be even as previous pilgrims for reasons that will become explicit later on. The speaker seems to be still on the island, as he refers to the island as “this island” and “here”, rather than that island and there.
“Don’t go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path…and leave a trail” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Excerpt: This is similar to Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken”, where the traveler takes the road less traveled after arriving at a fork in the road. We will all face times where we have to make a choice of one or the other and be content with the decided direction. By taking the road less traveled, you’re straying from the normal, you’re not going the same, average way that everyone else goes. actually had not come across this until last year. At the Patriots Hall of Fame, they play a 15 minute video that gives a little history about the Patriots and how they have come to be what they are now.
