Legacy Of The Road Not Taken

Legacy to me means, after you die what people think of you. It means every little thought someone had in their mind when you died. It means what people will always remember you by. I want my legacy to inspire others and make them feel like sometimes the only thing you can do is give kindness. I also think quirkiness can be a great legacy too. To me, kindness and quirkiness is the key to life.

In the story, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, there is a tale about a traveler, that has walked upon a set of two roads (ln. 1). Although this is what the story literally says, there is hidden meaning behind its words. There is a difference between reading a poem, and understanding what a poem is trying to tell you.

Imagine that your making a decision and you are stuck to choose between two things that could change and impact your life greatly. What would you do? What pathway would you take?

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

It is characterized in the article as something that exists whether we choose to consider it or not, it is unavoidable: others will inevitably feel the impact of our legacy. A crucial point the author is making about legacy is that our legacy is part of us that remains in the world after death. It is our attitude and values we modeled in life carrying on and remaining in the world after our we are gone.

The boy in The Road is similar to Jesus in his innocence. His father would weep over his son because of the goodness the boy displayed which the world possessed no longer (McCarthy 129). The boy had a natural affinity to the world, even though the world treated him so harshly. His mother killed herself (McCarthy 58), his father was sick, and his childhood had been taken from him. However, he still showed love to those around him. One example is a man who called himself Ely on the road. Although the old man was crippled and obviously destined for death, the boy wanted to give him food. The boy convinced his father to not only give the man some food but to camp out with him for the night (McCarthy 165). The innocence the boy

Shauna Niequist once said “It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she says is figuring out what you are willing to give up to do the things you care about.” This quote means, make sure you are willing to give up something for what you care about and believe because you will have to give things up. This statement is true because if someone believes in something they be willing to give something up or that person doesn’t really care or believe in it.

Lisa Wingate once said, ‘’The hardest thing about the road not taken is that you never know where it might have lead. The quote means that it is hard to make the decision on witch path to take because they both lead somewhere different and you might not want to go to that different place. This statement is true because you never know what will come before you. Both the ‘’Road not Taken’’ by Robert Frost and ‘’Untraveled Road’’ by thousand foot Krutch supports the statement by Lisa Wingate.

This section comments about leaving a legacy behind but more than leaving wealth and good and properties the author refers to a different type of legacy. Refers to the intimate legacy the value of life we leave behind. What we have been, what will people remember us by, what are we leaving behind. We leave behind our attitude, values and believes. Our legacy is not what we are worth, nor does it end the day we dye. Rather it is what the world will remember us by. The author goes into explain this period of time we have the wisdom and vision to make the legacy we want it to be. Weather it be to change memories and create new ones, live a more balance life, work on our spiritual, etc. now is the time to do it.

Thoreau believes deeply that one person can make a big difference in one’s own life and, in extension, the world: “I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” Frost seems to believe that one person cannot even make a big difference in his own life. In “The Road Not Taken” the speaker is almost able to convince himself, at a later date, that he truly does take the road less traveled. His own self-disillusionment and self importance leads the speaker to feel more in control of his life. While Thoreau is actually able to make a significant difference in his life and the way he perceives the world, Frost’s character cannot.

1)“The Road Not Taken” and the connection to Sotomayor is they both had to make a decision, a very difficult decision in the poem The Road Not Taken the narrator has to choose between two paths to take. In a way so does Sotomayor because since Sotomayor has had diabetes since she was ten years old she only could pick a select few of jobs. What she wanted to be was a cop or a detective but since she had diabetes it wasn’t possible for her to be any. She was given a pamphlet that had jobs that people with diabetes could do. The list of jobs she was able to do was a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, an engineer, a nurse, a teacher. Sotomayor had to choose and make a decision between which job she wanted to do. And the narrator in “The Road Not

What is legacy? Legacy is the impression you make in others lives that follow you for the rest of ours. Such as Albert Einstein., a theoretical physicist. He has not only left the world with discovering the theory of relativity, photoelectric effect, and Energy-mass equation but also with being known as one of the most brilliant minds known of. However, what is my legacy?

Everyone has a legacy and it is that legacy that can change a person’s life whether it is minor or drastic. A legacy starts young and the way you are towards people and what kind of impact you leave in their lives is really important. Legacy isn’t just about leaving what you earned but also what you learned behind. What I hope to accomplish in my life is to be reliable, strong, independent, trustworthy, and good natured. During my life there will be some ups and downs especially while I will move on from school, a new career, moving on to new friends, and in some cases leave some behind. When I think about moving on with my life I hope that when those people think of me that they smile and they remember all the good times we had. I hope that they think of me as someone that left an impact on their life.

There are many ways that I want to be remembered and many lives that I hope to affect in my life. There are also many goals I have that I hope I accomplish during my lifetime. Many people leave a legacy, which is a way that someone is remembered.

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.
