The historical allusion in the line, "Pegging my tents further and further south of Hadrian's Wall" exemplifies the increasing distance between the father and son as well as evincing the geographical disconnection from the persona’s homeland. Peter's alienation is emphasized through the anaphora of the possessive pronoun in ‘His Polish friends’, ‘His Dog’ and ‘His Garden’, explicating that his father’s world of Polish culture is a territory into which he cannot trespass.

Dawe presents us of a paradoxical image of a man against the world. This man retreats to “his patch of vegetables”; it parallels to the Garden of Eden for it is seen as this man’s paradise. It is a place of meditation and reflection for it says “all the things he takes down with him”. The word ‘things’ refers to his thoughts. The garden is also a temptation, as the word ‘his’ shows that it’s the man’s possession, it’s his territory which he tries to control.
In both Romulus and Dances with Wolves, land is central to belonging as people are products of their environment. In the harsh Australian country and Great Indian Plains, each character must learn to adapt and survive. When Raimond and his father Romulus migrate to Australia from Romania post World War II, they find themselves in “sheep-grazing country”, a completely different environment with different people unusual to them. “[Romulus] longed for European Society, saying that he felt like a ‘prisoner in Australia.’” (169). This comparison of European and Australian culture alerts the reader to the struggle that Romulus is having in belonging to this place, and this can be related to the fact that he spent so much time in Romania, and refuses to change his ways, “In his [Romulus’s] sighs I heard our isolation.” unlike Raimond who is able to accept the landscape and people for all the harsh aspects because he has been brought up here from the age of four years onwards.

Even though the texts are in different formats, they all uphold the universal concept that determination is necessary to conquer complications in a journey. A powerful human spirit is required to reconcile and accept decisions made in journeys. In The Road Not Taken, one of the key ideas explored is simply the journey of an individual walking through the woods contemplating which path to take. The symbolism displayed though the path motif reflects the difficult choice in the journey.
