recognizing the beauty in life that
other people don’t.

people to realize the true beauty that
life holds.
Robert was born in San Francisco on
March 26, 1874 and grew up in
Lawrence, Massachusetts. He grew
up with many siblings and his parents
died at an early age. His childhood
probably affected his perspective on
life by showing him what really
matters and what won’t last.

Frost’s famous poem “The Road Not
taken’’, was written about his friend ,
Edward Thomas. Thomas took long

home when World War One broke out
in 1914-1915.

New Hampshire with very little
money.

England where more publishers

“My Butterfly”, in 1894. While he was
living in England he achieved his first
major literary success.
