Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The road serves as a metaphor for life. The poem deals with dilemmas that one faces in life. One has to make a choice from the given alternatives. Though the choice we make influences rest of our life, we cannot foresee the outcome of the choices made.
b)To me, the lesson that is taught by this poem is that you should not stress over decisions. The poem is teaching us that most decisions that we think are really important are actually meaningless.
c) The main theme of the poem, "The Road Not Taken," is that human beings are confronted with and defined by the choices they make. The main idea of the poem is that the speaker is confronted with this fork in the road and must make a choice as to which road to take. The speaker can only choose one path, and must abide by that choice. The theme of the poem is that human beings are defined by the choices they face and the choices they make. While we might wish to avoid these choices, the speaker (and, the poet, for that matter) tells us that we are unable to avoid the agonizing element of choice.
d) The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost is a poem narrated by a lone traveler confronted with two roads, symbolizing the journey of life and the decisions we make on that journey. The narrator chose the path that was 'grassy and wanted wear,' which demonstrates the desire many of us have for individuality and adventure.
e) Metaphor: There are many metaphors in the poem like road, fork in the road and yellowwoods. The road in the poem is the metaphor of life, while the fork on the road metaphorically represents the choices we make to determine the course of our lives. Similarly, yellow woods are the metaphor of making decisions during the hard times of a person’s life. These metaphors used in this poem emphasize the importance of different decisions we make in different situations and their impacts on our lives.
Imagery: Imagery is used to make the readers feel things through their five senses. The poet has used images of the sense of sights such as leaves, yellowwoods and These images help readers to actually perceive things they are reading. The image of the road helps readers to visualize the road providing a navigation route to the traveler.
Simile: A simile is a device used to compare things with familiar things to let the readers know it easily. There is one simile used in the second stanza such as “as just as fair”. It shows how the poet has linked the road less taken to the easy way through life.
Assonance: Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds such as the sound of /a/ and /o/ in quick succession in “though as far that the passing” and in “Somewhere ages and ages hence.”
Consonance: Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds such as /d/ in “two roads diverging in a yellow wood” and /t/ sound in “though as far as the passing there.”
Personification: Robert Frost has personified road in the third line of the second stanza. Here, it is stated “Because it was grassy and wanted wear” as if the road is human, and that it wants to wear and tear.
Parallelism: Parallelism is the use of a source of words, phrases or sentences that have similar grammatical forms.
