that the poem is universally understood and interpreted. In fact, most readers, if not reading critically, miss the deeper meaning of “The Road Not Taken.” Fagan says, “In the end, the difference appears to have nothing to do with which road is chosen, as each would have had an impact on the traveller’s life.” A surface level reader of this poem interprets that a single decision can potentially have a tremendous affect on the life of the decision maker.

Does a doctor's note not explain enough to that woman? I mean I can’t help that I physically can’t see in the morning. It just happens. I’m sorry but I will NOT go to school if my head is ringing.
