Road Not Taken

In this poem the speaker comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which route to travel. He takes some time to analyze both roads and notices that both roads were grassy and wanted wear. He then thinks about going one way and then turning around and venturing down the other just to see where they both go, but doubted he should ever turn around and come back. He then stated that he would tell his tale ages later, possibly to grandchildren. He finally decides to take the one less traveled. In the end it seems he has made the right decision since it has made all the difference. This is a great life lesson. A lot of our peers come to forks in the road everyday whether it be drinking, drugs, sex, etc. Most are overwhelmed with peer pressure and end up doing whatever it is. The road less traveled is the smart and sober way. One incident could make all the difference in being a successful adult providing for your family or spending all your money on drugs and end up living on the streets.

  1. Yes the this story is quite interesting in that the person in the story had to make what it seems a life altering decision that would affect his life entirely. The man comes to fork in the road and he decides to take one path believing he will travel the other some day. He is wise I feel in his approach of the situation in that he made a solid decision and yet has the thought of treading the other path one day. In general I think this particular reading was very intriguing because it can be related to life and many of its situations as a whole.
