'Journeys- Robert Frost\r'

'â€Å"Its the journey non the arrival that matters” as journeys ar often a fiction for that which transcends the sensual realms of ones travels. It is the strength for arrival that allows for the chance for self-discovery. The complexities of behavior as transgressed throughout Robert hoars poetry, engagement ordinary, visible journeys in nature to evidence how journeys often puddle beyond the physical understanding in which they are composed. Similarly, the novel bakers dozen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and the scant(p)(p) film, â€Å"Harvie Krumpet,” present the plight of ordinary commonwealth and the disembodied spirit changing possibilities of journeys.An equally prominent theme is the event of the need for changing paths as obstacles turn and the piece such change has upon the arrival. These texts demonstrate how the intended ending is often non the final destination. The composers, through the use of a variety of literary and filmic techniques show these comparable themes throughout the texts. Consequently, the composers are able to present their apprehension of the concept of journeys rimes poetry, â€Å"The Road Not Taken,” is an extended metaphor for lost possibilities or missed opportunities.The division reflects upon the impacts of a finding and, perchance, what may have been. This is translucent in, â€Å"I shall be telling this with a sigh/ aboutplace ages and ages hence. ” Thus, the respondent can conceive the persona is perplexing as to whether the right decision has been made. Furthermore, the text contains repeating of the image of two roads diverging. This symbolises the arising of pivotal moments where decision are demand. This aids the responder to connect with the persona as in every part of sustenance decisions are required and choices are often voiceless to arrive at. icing also conveys the idea that journeys have a tendency to flow smoothly whether the outcomes are validat ing or negative. This is portrayed through the consistent poesy intent throughout the stanzas. The flowing rhyme scheme enables the reader to become immersed inwardly, and to concentrate severely upon, the orphic meanings within the text. Balanced against this is Asher’s novel, Thirteen Reasons Why, which portrays the plan that journeys are impacted upon by the decisions that man-to-mans make, altering the raceway rather than sailing smoothly along the fender path.Asher suggests that the final destination constantly changes as obstacles arise and are overcome, consequently allowing for self-discovery along the path. Asher demonstrates how journeys are not a solo venture. Often journeys commence within an individual but are impacted upon by the actions of others. For instance, Hannah Baker commits suicide after constant mistreatment by her peers. Her journey commenced trying to find a sense of belonging. Unfortunately, this didn’t occur and dire consequences we re to be the result.This is evident in the use of ellipses to represent hesitation, reflection and the scratchiness of consequence when Hannah states, â€Å"Do not take me for minded(p)… again,” and, ”A lot of you cared, provided not enough. And that… that is what I needed to find out. ” As a result, the responder can connect with Hannah through empathy and the understanding that self-discovery relies heavily upon the journey and the events throughout rather than arriving at the destination. Similarly, the short film, â€Å"Harvie Krumpet,” exhibits the similar theme that obstacles will be required to be overcome.Harvie’s journey is one of self-discovery that transcends the physical realms of the loss of his parents, his migration and the development of Alzheimer’s. On the contrary to Thirteen Reasons Why, Harvie retains a positive outlook on life and this enables him to constantly strive for success. Every person is unique, thu s, people undertake their own unique journeys. The responder is immediately informed Harvie is unique through the use of subtitles at the commencement of the film. â€Å"Some are born great, some have greatness thrust upon them †others are just different. ”Harvie’s life experiences are juxtaposed with his border on always-cheerful attitude. Harvie must adapt to a foreign lifestyle after migrating to Australia yet his spirit never dies. This forces the responder into self-reflection, considering things transcending the physical realms and discovering the inner strength to continue the journey. However, Harvie’s unfortunate circumstance isn’t permanent opposed the impermanency of nature as revealed in Frost’s poem, â€Å"Nothing Gold Can Stay. ” Frost uses this text to demonstrate that nature’s smash can never remain when, â€Å"Nature’s first green is gold/ Her hardest hue to hold. The emergence of this duad is to i nform the responder that often what is desired can’t last. Contained within the third couplet is an allusion to the Bible and the Garden of Eden, â€Å"Then toss subsides to sky/ So, Eden sank to grief. ” This demonstrates how the perfection the Garden of Eden was transitory and shows the responder that change is inescapable. The extremely simple enunciation of monosyllabic words throughout the entire eight-line poem helps the text to flow smoothly in the alike way as â€Å"The Road Not Taken. ”Frost also uses â€Å"Nothing Gold Can Stay,” to reveal how innocence changes as self-discovery occurs. Self-discovery transforms the individual and Frost uses the symbolisation of a flower to demonstrate the changes occurring during life. â€Å"Her early leaf’s a flower/ But entirely so an hour. ” Ultimately, all the composers demonstrate complimentary themes that demonstrate how it is the journey not the arrival that matters. Journeys are the medium that allows for the transcendence of physical realms and the development as an individual in the process.\r\n'
