Just as Conrad conveys the creation of one’s own path subconsciously in Marlow, the poem “Road not taken” by Robert Frost explores this idea, represented my literal paths and an alternate, unspoken third path. The metaphor of the physical journey shows the moral growth in the protagonist. The poem is written in first person, giving it a very personal and reflective tone, expressing a pivotal moment in the persona’s life. The use of andante, the flowing rhythm establishes a conversational tone. The rhyme scheme is simple and effective throughout the poem, however, it changes in the final stanza. By implementing a new scheme here, the final thought of reflection is emphasized. The "less traveled" road is symbolic of the gamble of choosing a more individual path in life, the protagonist’s own road. This can be compared to the quote by Antonio Machado, “Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.” This quote exemplifies the fact that walking the path is more important than

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 Road Not Taken” is a poem about how it is important to make a choice in life. In the beginning of the poem, the man is hating that he had to be stuck with the road he chose instead of being able to take both paths. The man tried to look farther down the paths that he could’ve chosen to go down, but the man was only able to see to the point that the road curved and was no longer visible.

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

In Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”, Frost shows the everyday human struggle to make a choice that could change the course of one’s life. In his poem, a person has the choice to take one road or the other. One road is worn out from many people taking it, and the other is barely touched, for fewer have taken that road. Throughout the poem, the speaker learns that just because so many other people have done one thing, or walked one way, does not mean everyone has to. Sometimes you just have to go your own way.

Discovery is the act of finding something for the first time or the act of rediscovering something. Discovery can be meaningful in ways that may be emotional, creative, intellectual, physical and spiritual. They can lead us to new understanding of the world. Two composers whose work reflects these notions are ‘Life of Pi’ by Ang Lee and ‘Pretty’ by Katie Makkai. Ang Lee’s film version of Life of Pi (2002) is an adaptation of Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi. Life of Pi is a ground breaking movie event about a young boy who survives a disaster which takes place in the middle of the ocean and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. But Pi forms an unexpected relationship with another survivor which is Richard Parker. Similarly

In stanza 4: the speaker is trying to say that years from now in the future he will tell of his story with a sigh. Yet, we don’t really know if the “sigh” is good or bad. The speaker repeats the line “two roads diverged in a yellow wood” to emphasize that the choice he made at the fork was an important and life changing decision. Line 19: “I took the one less traveled by” the speaker conclude that he took the path traveled by fewer people. Throughout the poem the speaker contradicts himself, claiming

Thesis: In the poem “A Road Not Taken”, Robert Frost shares how sometimes in life one has to make decisions rather they’re good or bad. However there are consequences following one’s decisions and choices. One can use their second chance by looking forward and choosing to take the right paths in life.

By choosing the harder path, the speaker declares his rebellion against the popular opinion as represented by the other road. He decides not to conform to society and takes up a less popular choice. When considering his choices the speaker shows the typical human reaction. He considers taking both paths at first. He says, “Oh I kept the first for another day”, but later confesses he “doubted if [he] should ever come back” (13-15). Thus the poem’s significance lies in the speakers making a decision by choosing a road and moving on with his life. The act of choosing the road represents his uniqueness and the fact that he is always moving forward, even without stopping.

The poem is talking about how the narrator has two roads in front of him which are two options and he has to pick one. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” When the author says this this is him doing the right thing because he took the road he wanted to take and not the road somebody else wanted the narrator to take. This also relates to him having courage because the poem also says “Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that passing there Had worn them really about the same,” This is the character/narrator thinking of the pros and cons about which one would have a better future for him. Once he found the one he thought was right for him is when he had fully found his courage to take the road he did. Which was the road less traveled by. So this is how the person in “The Road Not Taken” found the courage to do the right thing.
