Robert
Frost, a poet who’s won four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry and a graduate of
Harvard University, writes “The Figure a Poem Makes” with the sole purpose to
show his readers how others should write, by using “originality and initiative”.
Frost in his essay not only tells his readers the correct way to write, but as
well the wrongs of writing. He emphasizes to his audience, which are other authors,
that with every poem they should be different; and ultimately the readers
should acquire new information and wisdom with every piece of work. Having a piece
of writing be unique can be essential because it allows it to be distinct, and
stand out from other pieces of work. He also stresses the importance of using
emotion, by saying “no tears in the writer, no tears in the reader” to affirm
that readers should be feeling emotions.
Other authors are his audience because they are the people who have the power
to change the writings in society today; without other authors taking steps
towards change it would be more difficult to achieve originality. In the future
Frost wishes other authors would not fall into conformity and for their pieces of
work to express the truth, not just
to entertain the readers. Frost does a good job of achieving his purpose by the
use of similes, which allows the readers to picture what Frost is saying by creating
images for them. Hopefully this allows the readers to better connect with his
concepts and opinions. He also reiterated his point by using the benefits of
writing properly and showing the disadvantage of when other people choose to
write without a purpose and use other pieces of work as there base.
