The Long Road

When considering the tone of “The Road Not Taken”, it can be said that, even though the narrator wonders what the other choice would have resulted in, he seems content with the original choice made. The tone of lines nine and 10, which are written “Though as for that the passing there/Had worn them really about the same,” (Frost, 2016), could further suggest that the narrator believes that both of his choice options were nearly compatible, leading to the realization that the right choice was…

mentally sketched out our options, what we had to do to assist the defenders now the battle was really developing. My assumptions about the Raiders intentions still seemed valid; this was more than a simple raid. I didn’t let the gathering silence grow long. “I recommend we maintain a defensive posture, hidden in the woods above the bridge. We have enough men to hold out against any forging parties or a scouting force,” I announced. “Our men said there are hundreds of them,” the junior officer…

published the iconic poem “The Road Not Taken” to the world. This poem is written in a first person perspective and it begins with a person explaining to the reader that they have come to a halt in the road. The road had forked into two separate roads, each going into two different directions. The person was unsure on which path they should choose, so they decided to figure out where they each went. According to the speaker, one of the roads had nicer grass and the road was less worn-down, so…

the purpose of this paper, I chose the short story “The Worn Path” by Eudora Welty and the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Out of all the literature covered in class, these two pieces were the two I not only enjoyed the most but found myself relating to the most as well. The theme for “The Worn Path” is one that I developed being a mother for over 20 years, and the theme for “The Road Not Taken” encompasses the many different choices I have made in my life that have led me to be on…

Unstable, red, bumpy brick roads causing student bikers and drivers daily mayhem as they can feel every pot hole and dip in the street. Not to mention the horrendous condition of the sidewalks as well. The students of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln already have enough stress put on them to excel in classes, they should be given beautiful, safe, pot hole free sidewalks and streets to enjoy. One would think with the amount of tuition the students pay here, the university could at least…

The poems “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, and “Advice To My Son” by J. Peter Meinke each explore themes of how to approach our own lives. Each of these poems takes a different approach, theme and setting to convey their own message while maintaining similar themes. ADD ANOTHER SENTENCE HERE TO LENGTHEN ESSAY. Each of these poems follow a similar idea, about how the choices we make in our lives can affect who we are and where we end up in life, but each goes about it through separate…

The Road Not Taken and the Road Less Traveled Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken,” written in 1916 and published in Mountain Interval in 1920, quickly became a popular part of the American literary tradition.
