The poem seems to be about the poet, walking in the woods in autumn, choosing which road he should follow on his walk. In reality, it concerns the important decisions which one must make in life, when one must give up one desirable thing in order to possess another. Then, whatever the outcome, one must accept the consequences of one' s choice for it is not possible to go back and have another chance to choose differently.4.In the poem, the poet hesitates for a long time, wondering which road to take, because they are both pretty. In the end, he follows the one which seems to have fewer travelers on it. Symbolically, he chose to follow an unusual, solitary life; perhaps he was speaking of his choice to become a poet rather than some commoner profession. But he always remembers the road which he might have taken, and which would have given him a different kind of life.Passage 3Walden (1)Henry David Thoreau (1)Find the answer from the passage.

They fall in love for their mutual love of the moor, the sublime beauty and wilderness on it. And their love takes the feature of the moor. However when Catherine betrays her heart as well as their love and marries Linton, Heathcliff runs away. When they meet again, Catherine is trapped by her fidelity to her husband and her love towards Heathcliff, which finally brings her death. After her death, Heathcliff turns into a demonic figure and takes revenge crazily, but his love towards Catherine remains unchanged.Finally, he sees her ghost and starves himself to death in the ghost house. The souls of the two at last unite.This love between Heathcliff and Catherine experiences the tow worlds of this life and after life, and it is totally spiritual. It takes Romantic feature and can only exist and survive in that particular circumstance.2.Give a brief analysis of Huck, a character in Mark Twain’s Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn, and discuss the social importance of the characterization of this character.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the best known for Mark Twain’s wonderful characterization of “Huck”. Huck is a typical American Boy with “a sound heart and a deformed conscience”. He appears to be vulgar in language and in manner, but he is honest and decent in essence. His remarkable raft’s journey down the Mississippi river, which Twain used both realistically and symbolically to shape his book into an organic whole, can also be regarded as his process of education and his way to grow up. On the whole, he is the son of nature and a symbol for freedom and earthly pragmatism.Through the eyes of Huck, the innocent and reluctant rebel, we see the pre-Civil War American society fully exposed. Twain thematically contrasts the life on the river and the life on the banks. These contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization best show the romantic quality in Twain’s writing.。
