Omg omg omg Daisy I will effing miss these so much!! My papers on the 15th of May right after Bio and chem. A lot of prayers my way, please!! You live long queen we adore you to death!!
Aww that is so amazing, thanks for coming along on the journey with me!! My Frost exam is on the 15th as well! We just have to work hard, trust ourselves and whatever happens we’ll both survive it. See you on the other side YOU GOT THIS!
i agree that one of the main points in the poem is the absence superiority, BUT what follows from that is that there is no point in regretting anything either. i don't think that Frost expressed regret here. he showed that since no path in life is better than the other (or at least we can't know which one is better), we can't really regret not taking the other road. it could have been better, or it could have been worse, we will never know. it is not about regretting and wishing to change your decision, but rather about not being able to see into the future and know which road would make you happier, about not being able to take both roads and choose the better one. so he is not necessarily fooling himself in thinking that the road that he has taken is better, he is just wondering whether it was better or worse. and, obviously, not being able to deicide, comes into terms with the fact that there is no way to find out. he comes to a conclusion that, whether there is a better road, it doesn't really matter, because we will never know it, so there is no point in regretting not taking the other road.
HELLO!! I was waiting for you to upload the last poem. This video helped me. Honestly, i am so scared for Lit. AND THE BLOG!! Thank you for the Henry 4 Part 2 notes(i wish you gave them earlier). You are a lifesaver!! I can't wait for your future videos!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Oh no, what specifically are you scared about with Lit? Maybe I can help (or you know, just join you in the anguish... I think everyone taking exams is terrified at this point). Wooo I am so glad the blog helped! I have some more Henry IV notes, will post them asap. Haha alas I too wish I was more organised and posted them earlier, sorry! Thanks so much for the encouragement, love ya mate! ;)
Really enjoyed this poem the first time I heard it. It's nice the hear how others perceive it. Loved to hear your take and analysis on it. The enthusiasm made it all the better!
Yea..., the ending is cool 'cause he's been sarcastic saying "difference", 'cause it's impossible to know, so a brilliant ending leaves the reader scratching his or her head in awe.
@@daizchalkx8490 I will really appreciate it if you give me your reaction about my own analysis, I just made one yesterday , you was my inspiration after all ❤
Isn't this poem, like most other great poetry, a sort of Rorschach test using words instead of ink blots? Your analysis is excellent, and there are of course others., and each would, I suppose, be reflective of who each of the analysts is...their nature and nurture...their psychology. Without Frost to enlighten us himself as to all he meant to convey, how can we know which is right (what he intended), or would Frost perhaps be happy to admit and accept that there are valid interpretations of his poem which he never even intended for us to make? Roads not taken that could have been taken?
Robert Frost preferred not to be framed under a literary movement like Romanticism, but this poem is more often counted as a modernist/imaginist poem!!
Omg you have no idea how much you have helped me. I only have 3 classes per week with my English literature tutor. And the rest I'm on my own and Ive only had 5 months to prepare for my composite! English literature papers. God. So yes your vids helped alot. Thank you
I have my exams tomorrow on this in my english literature midterms and i really needed an analysis of this very poem, i stumbled ont o this analysis and it's helped me a lot for writing some last minute notes for my exam, you helped so much. Thank you! I'll also let you know how my exams went tomorrow! Thank you again!
@@daizchalkx8490 Thanks!! I actually did pretty well because of you and got a 9/10 for my RNT parts in the exam... Thank you soooo much!! I don’t think I would have been able to do my exams without this analysis.. 🥺♥️♥️
@@anwitadas3537 WOOOOO well done!!! Thanks so much that’s so lovely to hear! Literally my dream when making these videos that they would help people like this!
Without an understanding of Frost's friendship with Thomas you will never understand this poem. Look at the letters Frost and Thomas exchanged about this poem and it will help you understand. And remember the title. The road NOT taken. This makes all the difference.
John Ward actually did a great video essay about this poem on RU-vid with video interviews from Robert Frost where he explains that he had a friend who, no matter what decisions he made he always regretted it and wished he'd made the other. He explained how he and his friend got into a serious fight with his neighbor, setting his friend on a path to go against his normal instincts and volunteer to enter the war, where he died within 2 months. Frost then goes on to discuss the dangers of socialism. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fK8J64Or5UE.html

Ahh I love that book!! I'm not gonna make a video on it I'm afraid, it's been too long since I've studied it haha. I have some notes on me blog though if that's any help: tmp394043596wordpresscom.wordpress.com/category/literature-in-english/small-island/ xx
@@zhouruoyu9473 i have videos about many other robert frost poems, if you click on my channel they are all there :) don't have any other than that though x
Not at the moment. However I am going to be posting study tools for Winter's Tale over on my blog very soon: tmp394043596wordpresscom.wordpress.com/ Sooo happy the vids have helped you! Thanks for the support
@@daizchalkx8490 yeah ...its about a women who lost her son in the war. Her brother is an artillery engineer and had just invented a weapon. He wanted to show that weapon to her sister. He told her that he wanted money and fame. He would sell those weapons to the government. But her sister was not of that view. Because she had lost son recently due to war, she wanted peace.. and the story revolves around this concept....
for paper 3, yk how we could either do the question that gives us the poem or the one where we compare 2 poems without the actual poem, will it always be like that because im thinking of not memorising quotes for the poems?
As far as I know, yeah, but I haven’t checked the syllabus since I finished my A Levels last June. I did the same thing - the question where they give you the poem is a lot easier in terms of memory! X
Hey ! Your analysis of poems are real helpful. I was wondering if you would branch out a bit more. I mean there are these other poems in my syllabus for my academic level exams, would really appreciate if you could cover some of them too. Sadly we only have a single frost's poem out of 10.
Hey, thanks very much! Sorry mate, I won’t be making any more poetry videos - I made time for these because they were part of my own studying for A Levels, but they are really time consuming to make and i can’t really justify putting that much time in anymore alongside uni work. Hope you understand, best of luck with your exams xx
Hey Daisy, I'm having a presentation tomorrow on this poem and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. And one information we didn't find while doing our researches is how both poems were welcomed by readers and critics. Was one poem better received than the other? etc. Do you know?
Hiya, I’m really sorry I’m probably too late to answer this - which doesn’t really matter as I have to say I’m not sure on this one! All I know about how the poems were received at the time is that Frost was fairly popular in his day??!! But yeah I have no idea how individual poems were received, sorry I can’t be of more help x
Hey! Are you going to do more poems like this? I have some that I am struggling with and would like to ask for couple if you are open to it. Love your content
Hey! Thanks for the lovely comment. I'm really sorry I won't be doing any more analyses - these were part of my A Level study and I don't really have time anymore to do more. Good luck with them though xx
Aw tough luck! I was gonna make a Robert Frost pun reference about you “taking a different road” but I’ll save you the cringe haha. Well done anyway, you should still be proud of yourself. And you’re welcome, I’m glad it helped! x
I think it just means they both looked equal from where he was standing - he didn't know what either of them would become further along the road. I hope that makes sense, sorry for the huge delay in replying x
@@daizchalkx8490 There is no need to be sorry. I think this poem has no fixed interpretation. It is up to us what we make of it. Bdw really appreciate your effort here. Thank you !
Awww thank you! Went pretty well I think. I'm gonna post some kind of update on here soon updating you guys on everything that went down with my A Levels (which are over now WOOO).
Heyy! Honestly I’m not sure. Sorry I keep promising videos and never making them! I’m going to focus on getting all my A Level notes up onto my blog this month, then we’ll see :) thanks for your continued support lovely!
Hello!!!! I'm so sorry I haven't replied to this in so long. I'm good thank you! Just been looking at the channel and I'm blown away by how many people I've reached :O I will always remember you as one of the first though hehe. How are you lovely? xx
@@daizchalkx8490 Covid is screwing over my mental health but i am fine. I will remember you always as the person who saved my grade. Thank you so much for opening this channel!! How is uni life going?
Patricia Corraya aw i’m sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better soon. I haven’t been at uni properly since february because of covid of course, but I’m finally going back there next week to start second year (!!) and I’m really excited for that xxx
