While reading The Road Not Taken, I was able to grasp the author's intentions. I was able to compare this poem with the decisions we all have to make in life.Wr are often worried or concerned abut a decision we made.

I believe Robert Frost has interpreted most of the decisions we make in life into this poem of a man choosing which path to take in a "yellow wood". We have to make…

Recently, I had a chance to read “The Road Not Taken”, one of the most familiar and popular poems of Robert Frost. The poem was about two different directions, which indicate the paths in life.

"The Road Not Taken" describes a situation many individuals will face throughout life: which road is the right one to travel? Scholar John Savoie argues that, "the poem holds a place in virtually every Americans imagination from adolescence onward" (5). The narrator of the poem is described as taking "the road "less traveled by" (line 19). Robert Frost has skillfully written the poem to not only provide a situation many can relate to, but to challenge thought through his use of language in the…

Alicandro’s level of confidence reaches the steepest mountain top and flows into every valley, or person he meets, because that’s just the type of kind hearted person he is. He is the epitome of the very person, Robert Frost alludes to in, “The Road Not Taken.” Alicandro not only takes the road less traveled, but he chooses to make his own…

The Road Not Taken written by Robert Frost uses a great deal of figurative language within it. Figurative language is anything from a simile to a metaphor and is greatly used within poems. One form of figurative speech is metaphors. The metaphor used in the poem is the divergent road, and the idea that the speaker must choose one of the two paths. The metaphor of the fork in the road is fascinating because it highlights the power and the misery of choice. The speaker is torn between two…

end up depressed and have a tragic ending to our lives. Willy Loman couldn’t realize that he was chasing the wrong dream. He was in a race to catch that dream, but his lungs expired and the dream left him in the dust. As in the poem “The Road Not Taken,” we have one chance to choose the road we deem to be the best. Later in our lives we will look back, as Willy Loman has, and judge if we made the right choice. Another reason is that we need to realize and acknowledge the people who love and…
