Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
1. The form of the poem shows that it is traditional because it has four stanzas with four lines in each stanza and their rhyme schemes are similar within each stanza. That is how the form of the poem shows that it is traditional.
2. One example of alliteration that I've found is "To watch his woods fill up with snow". The alliteration in this line is "watch his woods". Another example of alliteration in this poem is "The woods are lovely, dark and deep". And the alliteration in this line is "dark and deep". Those are two examples of alliteration in this poem.
3. The line "And miles to go before I sleep" is repeated twice at the end of the poem. I think this line means that the speaker is miles from his home whereas he’s in the snowy woods and he must ride his horse for miles before reaching his house where he can sleep. This line is repeated twice to create meaning, therefore if it was not repeated then it would be harder to interpret the meaning of the poem.
4. Four images that helps me to picture the woods that the speaker lives in is, "To watch his woods fill up with snow", this appeals to the sense of sight. "The only other sound's the sweep; Of easy wind and downy flake", appeals to hearing. "The woods are lovely, dark and deep," appeals to sight. And "Between the woods and frozen lake; the darkest evening of the year." This appeals to sight as well. Those are four images that help me to picture the woods.
5. I would describe the speaker of this poem as curious because on line 1-4 it cites, “Whose woods these are I think I know ; His house is in the village though ; He will not see me stopping here ; To watch his woods fill up with snow.” This shows that whoever’s woods the speaker is in, he has a fascination with it. The speaker stops in the woods on a snowy evening to watch the woods fill up with snow. This shows that the speaker of the poem is curious.

poetry means different things for different people but what do you think the poet would like for you to think about after reading his poem...take a look at the last few lines of any poem and usually the mystery is revealed.
