Summary of how an author uses figures of speech

An author uses figures to set the mood. How????? If there is an allegory there has to be some hint so the mood is suspicion or mysterious. Also when an author uses an apostrophe and he starts to talk with his dead mother you get the feeling of him being creepy. Also with imagery, as reader he will get more into it because he can feel it he can smell so it just as if he was ther. When in the book ENZO its kind of a personification because it gives human traits to a dog whereas in real life you don't know what your dog is thinking. With metaphor and simile it gives the readers a spark instead of just saying in a normal phrase.

Poem and why I liked it.

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;         5   Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,         10   And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.         15   I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. I liked this poem because it a metaphor to real life. What frost is trying to say is that he took the less taken road the in LIFE by studying literature and writing. Also he said that he wish he could have done both WHY????. Also because he has written many other poems and is known throughout the world, and this piece is considered one of his master poems.
