Style Analysis
        Robert Frost demonstrates a distinct style in his poems. For one, he usually includes an extended metaphor that creates double meaning to his words. Also, he fuses literary devices with colloquial language to produce a certain effect and create a certain atmosphere. Frost was also very traditional with his writings and had the same format in most his poems. His style is traditional and is one that seems uniform and is common in many writers because it is very systematic.
          In "Fire and Ice," Frost uses eloquent language and decoratively includes a rhyme scheme. This allows for Frost to intellectually compare fire and ice and show his thinking processes as to which he prefers the world to end in. In this poem, he incorporates personification and paradox. He includes nature in this poem, and in many more and simply reflects everything to nature and shows a comparison. Although the poem rhymes, the rhyme scheme is not a common one, and it does not make sense. Frost's poems usually do not rhyme, they are just his thoughts and his emotions.
          Moreover, Frost reveals his style in "The Mending Wall." We see that Frost incorporates nature with the "shade of trees" and "woods." This is possibly Frost's most apparent trademark. He is known for creating metaphors and using literary language that involves nature. This is what ultimately defines a Robert Frost poem and it shows just how traditional he was.
          Furthermore, within his poems, Frost integrated both eloquent and colloquial language to attract all kinds of readers. He wanted to share is emotions with everyone and felt that through his poems he could help people going through the same situations as him. Through the use of extended metaphors and specific language, Frost creates his own style. By further adding nature and comparing his situation and his emotions to nature; the poem is a complete Robert Frost poem. His traditional way for putting the words together and incorporating different themes is what creates his style.
