People are still discussing Frost s poetry today, and there are many different points of view on this subject, that s why it is a topical issue nowadays. main subject of my paper is the peculiarities of Frost s poems. objective is to study Frost s poems, try a hand in translating them and create my own verses in his style. achieve this I have studied and analyzed Robert Frost s poems, books about his work and critics reviews on his poems; made a comparative analysis of Frost s poems in the original and their translations. paper consists of the introduction, three chapters, conclusion, bibliography, and the appendix, that contains my translations of Robert Frost s poems and my own ones in his style. this research I studied books and articles both in English and Russian, translated some poems and sent them to the American Council Competition, on the results of which I ve been awarded a certificate for The best overall work .
