But Robert Frost’s theory, published in the early 1900s, remains one of the most compelling. In his poem Design, Frost illustrates the contrast between evil the good in nature, and offers his own commentary as to who is truly in control.

One of the first things I noticed about the book was the amount of imagery that was included. Now, while imagery typically helps the reader by painting a mental picture, it seemed to have more of a hindering effect on me. I found it hard to imagine what was being described by the narrator, and the majority of the words that were being used for foreign to me. When the narrator attempted to explain his whereabouts and daily activities, I found that I was very confused. However, when I began to notice all of the similes, I quickly started to develop a better
