Answers
Answer:
Write the long summary of the poem - "The Road Not Taken".
The poem is about the struggle while making decisions in life. There are two paths to follow – the one on which everyone walks and the other that is opposite of the crowd. The person in the poem has to decide whether to follow the crowd, or to take the other road and make his own path in life. He has his own personality. He refuses to do ordinary things just because everyone else does them. In the end, he chooses the path that hasn't had many travellers. He knows that it will be better for him but he also acknowledges that he can never know what would have happened to him if he had chosen the other path.
One day, the speaker, travelling all alone, reaches a point where the road divides into two. He faces the situation of uncertainty. He thinks which road he should take to continue his journey. He is unable to decide which road to follow. He pauses for a long time. He gives a careful thought to which path he should follow. Then he decides to choose that road which seems to be less travelled. He feels that it will make a big difference in his future. He decides to save the other road for another day. Though he knows that he will never get a chance to go back. He takes such a difficult decision. Later he wishes that he would also try the other path.
The speaker feels that after ages from now, he would be telling about his decision with sigh of relief. He would tell how the less frequented path had made all the difference in his life.
The poet presents the difficulty of making a choice in life. We cannot travel on all the paths available to us. We have to make a choice. The uncertainty faced by the speaker in making his choice is the uncertainty that we all face at some point in our life.We all have to make a choice. Only the future will reveal whether the choice made by us is right or wrong. But one can't go back or change the choice. Choices and decisions are like our steps that carry us forward.
