Answer 1

Hey riya



Here your answer



In "The Road Not Taken," Robert Frost discusses the long-reaching effects of decisions.

Frost does this by telling about a time that he came across two roads "that diverged" (split apart) "in a yellow wood."   He knew that he could not "travel both," so he "looked down one as far [he] could."  Then, he took the other road, which was not as well-travelled as the other: "it was grassy and wanted wear."

Frost considers the option of returning someday to the other road, but he knows it is not likely to happen:

knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

He realizes that his decision will have an effect for the rest of his life:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


Like most of Frost's poems, "The Road Not Taken" has a regular meter: each line contains approximately 9 syllables.

The poem rhymes, in an unusual ABAAA rhyme scheme.

It uses one fairly simply image, that of the two roads diverging in the woods.
