What if money were no object? This idea is supported by the poem, “After Apple Picking”, by Robert Frost. Through the use of imagery, Frost conveys a message that people should live life doing something that they love.
Frost use’s examples of imagery throughout his poem to share his message that people should live life doing something they love. Frost says, “Of apple-picking: I am tired” (L.28). What is significant about this quote is that Frost is expressing that he is tired because he has been picking apples for such a long time. This is telling me that he would have lived life doing what he loved, rather than picking apples. This relates to his message of people living life doing something they love.
Frost states other examples throughout his poem to express his feelings of pain and exhaustion. Frost states, “My instep arch not only keeps the ache” (L.21). The significance of this quote is that Frost is trying to say that all the apple picking has affected his body negatively and he regrets the apple-picking. This would also relate to his message of people living life doing something they love.
Through the use of imagery, Frost conveys a message of people living life doing something they love. This poem has helped me reflect on what I would do if money were no object. If money were no object, I would illegalize smoking. I like to help people and doing this kind of action in the world would make the world a better place. This also relates to Frost's message because his message is that people should live doing something they love. Illegalize smoking is an issue that I would like to stop from occurring in this world. This is why Frost’s poem had an influence on my decision on what I would do if money were no object.
