Question

Appreciation of the poem the road not taken

Answer 1

A critical appreciation is the expression of a personal opinion but one that is supported by the contents of the poem. The use of the word "critical" infers that the elements of the poem need to be addressed because the tone, mood and intention in poetry are often conveyed and reliant upon these elements and the rhyme, rhythm and literary devices found within. Due to the nature of poetry and various interpretations, critical appreciations can often present contrary views.
