The Road Not Takenn

This week we read poems by Robert Frost, Fire and Ice, Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening and The Road Not Taken, Mrs. Gilman was talking about. Each of these poems are very well written and can relate to anyone. However, The Road Not Taken related to somethings in my life and most likely relate to many other people in everyday life. To me, this poem meant that we have to make important decisions- whether we want to 'follow the crowd', or be independent and 'travel' a different way. Most people like to be in a crowd, but many people like to be unique and not do something they may not want to do but is expected to be done. 

I chose this poem because I thought the metaphor was very good. It was also something that was relative to many things in life, I have mentioned before. "I shall be telling this with  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." (Stanza 4) Sometimes when I am at school, there are some decisions I have to make, a choice between whether I should be with my friends, or whether I should be with new people. It really depends on the situation, but everybody makes choices like this.
