Wishing
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is a poem that can apply to everyone as they journey through life. When decisions in life come upon us we find ourselves standing at a fork in the road and at that point we must make a choice that will have a permanent affect on our lives. I can personally relate to this poem right know and many of my peers can as well, because we are approaching graduation and must decide which road we will take to our futures. We must decide what school we will go to, what we will major in, and what careers we wish to pursue, and many other choices. Our decisions on these choices will affect how the rest of our lives will play out from this point on. And as it appeared in the poem some of us may look back and wish we could go back in time and change our decision, that maybe if we could just go back to one instance in time that our lives would be somehow better. But that is impossible, we all must live and die by the choices that we make or fail to make.

Cadet Byers gives us a brief but detailed summary of this poem. This is a very interesting poem which is divided into four stanzas in which it describes us the situation, the road and the so called tricky words. As the speaker is walking into the woods he realize that there were two roads and that he had to choose one he stands and stares at them as for which one was he going to take. For him it would have been easier if I could have choose both of them but as for that been impossible he decides to take the one that he thought had less traffic. He realizes that the leaves on the ground seemed that no one had walked on and that made him think how things in life just leads you one to another and there is not enough time.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Noel made some very good points in her blog post. Throughout life people must make decisions that may affect the rest of their lives. Not knowing where it will lead them is a scary thought. So once the decision is made if they don’t like it, they try and go back or wish they can change the decision they had made prior to that. But, what they don’t realize is that once the decision is made it is for the rest of their lives, and that is the point that Noel is talking about and trying to get across.
