OLM-SUMMARY+OF+ALL+THREE

All three of these poems link together in some way. All of them are about making decisions, taking challenges in life, and pushing yourselves to the limit. In autobiography in 5 short chapters, that poem was mostly about getting into problems that are sometimes your fault, and working through those problems, and wanting what is right. The last sentence of the poem shows that she got through the problem, and went on living her life. I related a lot to that poem, because everyone goes through tough spots, and you have to work around them and be strong. Nothing gold can stay, was a lot about waking up, and going into reality. It talks a lot about the "gold" parts in life, and how you have to treasure those moments, because they don't always stay the way you want them too. When I read the book The Outsiders By S.E Hinton, i've never seen a poem relate more to the book. I think the author of the book chose the poem, because it fits perfectly well with the plot, and shows what the meaning is. The road not taken was all about taking the challenging roads in life, and not always go the easy way. When I first read it, I didn't understand why he didn't take the easy way, but then I realized that the easy was isn't always the best way to go. As I dug deep into the poem, the author wants to put the message across, that the best things that happen in life, do not come as easily as some people think. I chose the theme life, because it seems to mean a lot to everyone. Digging deep inside yourselves, pushing to the limit, and not always taking the easy way out of things, is what all three of these poems are about, and what I want to achieve in life.

Very thoughtful and thorough commentary!
