    I was walking down a road in my old town, Gallupville. It was a small town and it was kind of like a circle. I would walk down a road, then I would turn left, go straight that road, then turn right, and I was right back where I started. While I was walking I suddenly saw my aunt’s dog, Annie, running down the street. Upon sawing her I immediately yelled her name and ran after her. Annie was an old black and white dog. I can’t remember what breed she was, but I do know that my aunt owed her…

    Robert Frost wrote “The Road Not Taken” as a joke for a friend, the poet Edward Thomas. When they went walking together, Thomas was chronically indecisive about which road they ought to take and—in retrospect—often lamented that they should, in fact, have taken the other one.

    As a child, the world to me was a place with elusive networks of dirt roads. The small, dirty, square shaped, concrete houses provided shade and comfort from the heat that bounced off the streets causing a mirage of wavering images. The streets were filled with honks from countless motorcycles and rickshaws. Hearing similar dialogues and accents as the people argued for cheaper pomegranates from the food stands located at the corner of the streets. This place of dirt networks, flat-roofed houses…

    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…

    just the service roads and main trails. If you get off the main trails at Berry you can get lost, and end up in a different county; that is what I did. It was a beautiful autumn day, a day that only November in Northwest Georgia could provide. You could see your breath in the morning and the high that afternoon was in the low 70’s. Everyone else was watching football so I had the place to myself. My normal loop consisted of a trip down old Redmond Road, which is basically a logging road. Next is…
