Road Not Taken

Each day we must make decisions on what we are going to do that day, or even the next day; however, we come to the two roads that diverge, and the roads that diverge are significantly life changing. A poem that comes to mind with this theme is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Frost’s work is very formidable, he illustrates the challenges that we face in life, in addition to the obstacles that we can overcome. His writing has a unique way with describing real life seniors, thus we need to draw our own conclusion on how we think things through in addition to moving forward to the bad encounters that we face. The message that Frost is trying to get across is that you have options, and you come to that point in life where you must decide.

Robert Frost wraps up his poem, in the last stanza very nicely, furthermore it reads; “I Shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: two road diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Frost say’s “ages and ages hence.” Ages, and ages means however long it takes, it could take a month, six months, or even many years, it all depends on you. A person that have found their niche in life, and finally travels down that road, you took the “one less traveled by.” Whatever you do, don’t let others decide for you, you must make it, because when others make the choose for you, it may not be for you.

Remember times doesn’t wait for you, or anyone it goes by fast, so when you think time is dragging on, it really goes by fast. Make the best of everything. One day you will get that co-worker, family member, or even a class that asks, how did you get here? What road did you travel? As Mr. Robert Frost says, “I shall be telling with a sigh.” Your story of how you got to where you are today. Frost says with a “sigh”, I think he means with a sigh of relief that all his stress, and worries are behind him, furthermore all the challenges we overcome makes all the

Someone could think The Road Not Taken by Robert frost makes them feel sad, on the other hand this poem makes me feel good, and it’s a real confidence booster for me. Since I am starting to look at four-year colleges, I read this poem, and I think to myself all is going to work out, just have to take one day at a time. Frost has a unique way of writing, and I enjoy it because he bases his poems on real life scenarios. Something that I learned from classroom discussions, which I enjoyed it because my fellow classmates share what they feel, about a piece of writing, thus when we analyze people’s statements we may not feel the same way about an author. The other beautiful thing about a poem, is that it can be based on someone’s whole life, or a few words of advice is a few stanzas. Frost has very powerful words, and that why I like his work, when he says, “two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” When I read this sentence, I can visualize myself being at an “intersection” in life, and I must make the right decision. When I draw my conclusion about this piece I think to myself if I strive, at the end I will
