Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.



We had read the poem “The Road Not Taken" since I was a fresh man.
It is a part of our oral presentation, but not my group.
The teacher taught us how to read poems even it is difficult.
The road means that we have a lot of choices in our life. People can not choose all the roads, they only can choose one.
Before people make decision, people may think for a long time because they want to choose the better one. In the poem, that person chooses the road which is less traveled. People always choose the road and look back the other road. And people always think if they choose the other road, the outcome will be different.
I think if you have a lot of choices in your life, just to do and don’t hesitate.
And also after you make decision, don’t think that you have the chance to restart.
