Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, California. His parents were Isabelle Moodie Frost, a teacher and William Prescott Frost Jr., a journalist who was exploring a career in California. His father's dream and career ended in 1885 when his life was taken by tuberculosis. This incident changed Roberts' life along with his sisters because it forced his mother to move him and his sister Jeanie to Lawrence, Massachusetts, where they would be cared for by their grandparents. Neither Robert nor Jeanie could be raised by their mother because she taught in a variety of schools throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He was one of the best students at Lawrence High School and graduated as valedictorian along with Elinor White whom he married in 1895. Robert had always been interested in poetry and was amazed by it, so he continued his studies after high school at Dartmouth College while Elinor continued his studies at St. Lawrence University. During the first twelve years of his marriage, he had six children with his wife, but two died young, leaving him with one son and three daughters. Robert's first poem to be published was “My Butterfly. An Elegy", and was published in 1894 by a weekly literary journal called The Independent. Shortly after the publication of his poem he dropped out of Dartmouth College and had not attended college for even a full year. He resumed his studies in 1897 at the University of Harvard, but dropped them again after 2 years of attending college. In 1911 Frost was already 40 years old and had not yet published a single book of poetry, but during this year Derryfarm moved to first place on Frost He sold the farm and he used that... half of the paper... fences will be good neighbors, which was not a departure from what his father said Throughout the poem "Mending wall" by Robert Frost the speaker did not like the wall , but even though he didn't like it he still maintained good relations with his neighbor The neighbor always said that good fences make good neighbors, but what made them good neighbors was the speaker's respect towards his. opinion on the wall. The poem also showed how the neighbor and the speaker lived different lifestyles but even though they did, they were still able to coexist with each other. Robert Frost will never be forgotten and his poetry will always be taught in our elementary schools, high schools and colleges. His work will never be forgotten because it affects our daily lives and “ Today it is Frost's narrative poetry that exerts the strongest influence on contemporary writers ( Joy 193).”
