Explanation:
Life Choices as Represented in Robert Frost's Road Not Taken
Choices are never easy, facing hundreds upon thousands of them in our lifetime, man has to make decisions based upon these choices. Some decisions are clear while others are sometimes not clear and more difficult to make. The poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is a prime example of these choices in life. This poem is a first person narrative that is seen by most people as being told by Frost. The poem opens up with the narrator encountering a point in the woods that has a trail diverge into two separate paths. In the poem Frost presents the idea of man facing the difficult predilection of a moment and a lifetime. I believe this idea in the poem is embodied in the fork…show more content…
Both roads diverge into a "yellow wood" and appear to be "about the same" in their purpose. The first of the two paths is the more common route than the other less traveled path. Frost presents a classic conflict, the decision between the common easy path and the less traveled challenging one.
Or, does he? Is this poem really about the one true choice in life or is it simply a silly little poem that has been looked at wrong? Here's what I think.
Maybe this poem should not be praised upon as the classic confrontation of the big choice in life. Is there really a geographical place that has two paths, one leading to a boring 9-5 office job while the other much more challenging path leads to your dream in life? I don't think so. The choices represented in this poem seem to me to be magnifications of a walk through the woods. Perhaps Frost did really take a walk one day and came to a fork in the trail and was able to magnify that situation into this poem. Maybe people have since read way to deep into this piece. The poem could be about the magnification of a path and the really making a life altering decision but it could also be simply a factual account of a day in the life of Robert Frost. While reading this poem I drew a connection to the music of the Beatles. It just seemed that everyone alive during the late sixties read way too much into what they were doing. The whole notions that Yellow Submarine and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds were
we get.
so plz mark me brainliest
Answer:
Yes, life is all about making choices. We should agree this because if we do not make any decisions then how can we live. Our life and we are made for making choices. According to the poem, there were two different roads which even didn't look same, if we would be at the place of the poet then we would choose the mostly used road and we would have no problems in our journey but as the poet chose the other road he was stuck after travelling further. Therefore we should always think about the advantages and the disadvantages of the decision which we are going to take, for example even the poet did not look at the positives and the negatives of choosing the other road, and was jumbled. That is why we always say that "we should atleast think 100 times before doing anything".
