Nature
While Frost's poetry about nature is mainly metaphoric, there were times when it was not metaphoric. As it was stated above, Frost also saw nature being able to destroy man but at the same time, he saw man's struggle with nature as it was seen in his poem, "Our Hold on the Planet." From there, some of the imagery in this poem clarifies what a man goes through in order to survive what nature throws at him, which encourages the reader to take an interest in it because it is something that some Americans are going through at the moment. As it can be seen in the following stanza of "Our Hold on the Planet," it shows a lot of imagery where a man experience when he is fighting with nature itself (Frost and Nature).
There is much in nature against us. But we forget:
Take nature altogether since time began,
Including human nature, in peace and war,
And it must be a little more in favor of man,
Say a fraction of one percent at the very least,
Or our number living wouldn't be steadily more,
Our hold on the planet wouldn't have so increased.
Conclusion
From this evidence, it is apparent the poetry should be expressed because of the imagery and metaphors that are used to describe what man goes in life rather it is a struggle with life itself or nature, which helps people to relate since they have experienced the effects of certain situations. While the poet expresses his feelings in the poem, the reader sees support of their own feelings. Support, as a construct, has been defined as a sense of belonging, specifically among peers, teammates, community or family members. People who strong social...
People are also less likely to be suicidal if they perceive their family, friends, and peers to be more accepting in the classroom, and if they have more positive friendships, which can be reflected in a school setting. Those who feel supported by counselors, parents, or peers and have things that they can relate to literature exhibit healthier coping mechanisms and maintain a more positive outlook about their future. "Frost simply does not look at nature through the same eyes. Though critics have pointed out his eminently reasonable view of nature, his farmer's sagacity and unwillingness to go beyond brute facts, they have failed to see the essential difference between his nature poetry and that to which the nineteenth century has conditioned us" (The Pastoral Art of Robert Frost). From there, the poem suggests that the author expresses their feelings through poetry and uses nature as a metaphor, which helps others to express themselves.
