These works mirror each other in that Frost's writing "is simple enough for a child to read, but the meaning is complex enough to foster scholarly debates and long essays" (Cummings, n.d.). Similarly, Welty's work "is most intriguing in terms of its ability to defy simple explanation" (Saunders, 1992, p. 62). .
These two pieces are told from separate points of view, however, individually, each strengthens their own piece by the view it is told from. Frost chose to use the first person, while Welty chose third person, limited omniscient. The choice of Frost utilizing the first person, again, creates a stirring in the emotions of the reader to desire to be the "I" in his poem. While most would like to think they are strong enough in character to choose the tougher road that has not been cleared, the majority of people tend to follow in line where others have created a nice, uninterrupted, smooth path. There would be no greater sense of peace than to come to the end of life's journey, knowing there was purpose and knowing that the decisions one made along the way, resemble individuality and perseverance in place of conformity and ease. Frost's technique in utilizing first person, strengthens the taste of that vision of character and reveals a glimpse of its attainability, as the reader speaks these words aloud, in the first person.
Welty's use of third person limited omniscient presents just as much support to the theme of purpose and perseverance along life's journey, in the development of her literary work. Phoenix's current life purpose to take care of her ailing grandson and to obtain the medicine for him, as well as bless him with a Christmas gift, creates the perseverance to continue on her physical path, as well as her path in life. Welty provides a deeply inspiring individual in Phoenix and allows the reader to walk alongside Phoenix on her journey through the woods, symbolizing her journey through life.
