.... yellow wood, / And sorry I could not travel both /And be one traveler, long I stood", tell us the speaker must choose between two roads he finds equally appealing. It is apparent the narrator has a difficult choice to make and is carefully considering his options. In the first stanza, the emphasis is on the road that was not traveled. The persona wants to travel both roads, but he cannot ”and be one traveler.” There is a strong sense of wonder before the choice is made because he knows that in one lifetime he cannot travel down every road. And that at this point in time one of the roads must be chosen. After the choice of roads is described and considered, ....

The Pullman train is carrying Marshal Jack Potter and his Eastern bride back to Yellow Sky. The Marshall's role in the affairs of his town has been affected and changed by his literal marriage to the East. The Marshall is only beginning to realize the effect his arrival on the town will have. The tra ....

.... has an education, or at least much so than his neighbor. His intelligence is shown through his open-mindedness toward other people’s opinions, although he knows that changing his neighbor’s beliefs may be impossible. Also he is able to place himself inside his neighbors’ point of view and this may be where the speaker comes up with the question why fences make good neighbors. The speaker does not believe there is a purpose for a wall between him and his neighbor, the speaker believes that fences, or walls in this case, will create barriers between friendships and also allows for unneeded separation between people.

.... anything from this situation. In the end Grant was wrong because he learned a lot from his short relationship with Jefferson. Grant had certain feelings for Jefferson he never had for a man before. They became real close friends and talked about a lot of things.

There were a lot of things in his life that he could not handle and he just wanted to run aw ....

It made no sound. It did not hurry. It crossed the glade, walking for an instant into the glare of the sun; when it reached the other side it stopped again and looked back at him across one shoulder at him across one shoulder while his quiet breathing inhaled and exhaled three times". The bear was testing the Ike true courage to see what the boy would do under his deepest fear and see Ike react to the bear with out his gun.
