Ms. Sue · Answer

An analogy is a comparison between two different things. http://literarydevices.net/analogy/ Sandburg compares the Civil War to a long voyage. Frost compares the fork in path in the woods to a decision.

Ms. Sue · Answer

Actually, Frost compares the woods to life. The two paths represent decisions made to take one road, and not the other road.

Reed · Answer

"O Captain..." was by Whitman, not Sandburg, but, yes, the analogy is that the Civil War was a sea voyage and Mr. Lincoln was the captain of the ship.
