Robert Frosts “The Road Not Taken” is more symbolic of a choice one must make in their life in attempt to foresee the outcome before reaching the end, than it is about choosing the right path in the woods.

The analysis of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost has been up for debate since the poem release in 1916. It is known to be one of the most frequently misinterpreted poems of all time, and even Robert Frost himself has said the poem is “tricky” to comprehend (The). When analyzing this poem many readers tend to focus only on the last lines of the poem and get caught in a trap of selective-interpretation. Quite a few people after reading Robert Frost’s poem firmly conclude that this poem is about non-conformity and individualism, however, that is not the case. Robert Frost’s poem is meant to be analyzed line by line for a complete interpretation. Readers can conclude that the poem represents making choices in life, but that is not the

In the Robert Frost poem ‘’The Road Not Taken’’ there is a pervasive and in many ways intrinsic sense of journey throughout. In such, the poem explores an aspect associated with human decision, or indecision, relative to the oxymoron, that choices with the least the difference should bear the most indifference, but realistically, carry the most difficulty. This is conveyed through the use of several pivotal techniques. Where the first such instance is the use of an extended metaphor, where the poem as a whole becomes a literary embodiment of something more, the journey of life. The second technique used is the writing style of first person. Where in using this, the reader can depict a clear train of thought from the walker and understand

The poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost describes the dilemma in decision making, generally in life each individual has countless decisions to make and those decisions lead to new challenges, dilemmas and opportunities. In Frost’s poem, the careful traveler observes the differences of each path, one is bent and covered in undergrowth (Frost 5) and the other is grassy and unworn (Frost 8). In the end he knows he can only choose one of the paths, after much mental debate he picks the road less traveled and is well aware that he will likely never return to experience the other. By examining Frost 's "The Road Not Taken," we get a deeper understanding of

Robert Frost's poem “The Road Not Taken” describes a traveler faced with a choice of which one of two roads to travel. He knows not where either road might lead. In order to continue on his journey, he can pick only one road. He scrutinizes both roads for the possibilities of where they may take him in his travels. Frost's traveler realizes that regret is inevitable. Regardless of his choice, he knows that he will miss the experiences he might have encountered on the road not taken.

In “The Road Not Taken” the speaker express remorse for the path he has taken, and reflects on the path he wish he went down. The narrator of the poem regrets taking the road-less taken, wishing he had made a different choice. The other Wes Moore when in prison reflects on the many choices he wishes

“The Road Not Taken” and Sotomayor’s life can connect with the important decision that impacted both people greatly. In “The Road Not Taken”, the narrator was faced with a decision on which road should he/she take. The story mentions, “And be one traveler, long I stood”, showing that this decision wasn’t quick and simple. In Sotomayor’s life, at a young age, she was given job suggestions that she could take. This happened because she was a diabetic and had a limited amount of jobs in her future. Some roads available to her were a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, an engineer, a nurse, and a teacher. Along with this list, as the story states, “There was a list of professions that were out-of-bounds.” With this, the decision became tougher to choose

When writing literature, if we wish to tell a story from the first-person’s point of view, we often refer to the protagonist as “I”. In both classic and modern writings, the speaker and narrator definitely become a major of part of a variety of stories. For instance, the short story “Jon” written by George Saunders, and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost both were able to clearly displays how the protagonist act as the narrator and how readers often find them creating an immense impact of the plot of the stories. Based on both texts, the narrator uses the pronoun “I” to refer to themselves, in which sometimes they sound similar and different, which further emphasizes the differences in the effect of the voices. Both the narrators of “Jon” and “The Road Not Taken” were somewhat similar, primarily because they had the abilities to convey a strong message through the theme of decision making.

Journeys can be physical, emotional or spiritual paths that we embark on to move from one

Another poem I chose to go with my theme was “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. This poem explains how choices are like a fork in the road. There are two paths that you have the option of taking but each one will lead to a different place. It shows that depending on your actions and what you choose to do, each path will lead to something different from the other. This poem also shows that there is a choice everyone makes.

The most common interpretation of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is that the speaker is trying to decide which road to take. Does he want to take the road that everyone else takes because it is easier and all the clearing has been done for him, or does he want to take a chance and take the road less traveled and he has to clear his own path? The poet is trying to convey a much deeper meaning. The poem is an excellent example of the use of symbolism .The poet uses the two roads to symbolize choices made in life. The yellow road indicates that the poem is taking place in autumn, which denotes that the speaker is in the later years of his life. The use of these simple images emphasizes that no matter how simple or unimportant a choice may

In this generation, people copy other people by their actions and the things that they buy. During school, most girls wear the same shoes, and they think it is cool to own expensive well-known shoes such as Nike and Addidas. Shoes are shoes at the end my point is why don’t people just do their own thing and buy what they love, not what they assume to love. Well, the poem the road not taken by Robert frost is about two roads, let’s say the right is travelled by most people and the left is travelled by less people. I am a person that likes to be different and unique and I am against people who like to copy other people.

This is a wonderful poem with many different themes and ideas. One of the biggest themes is not being afraid to take a chance. Some of the other themes include, not following the crowd, trying new things, and standing for something. This poem stated that the author "took the one (road) less traveled by, and that has made all the difference" so the author is telling the reader that we too should not be afraid to take another path.

I had to choose between playing a full-time summer sport or going on family vacations in the summer. Sports enriched my life in many ways such as creating more memories with my friends, allowing my pitching to improve, and gaining valuable team experience. Family vacations also could have changed my life as it allows for more family time, memories, and adventures. In the end, I chose to play a summer sport because it increased my games per year, practices per year, and a significant increase in game experience. I am happy with my decision because it gave me lifelong experiences.
