Road Not Taken Essay, Research Paper

There are many good poets in the world but the

one that I like the most is Robert Frost. He is such a

great poet, he throws a curve ball at you at the end of

his poems. The one i chose to write about is The

Road Not Taken.

The purpose of the author is to show a problem

many people have to face one point or another in life.

There are two roads that he can take but doesn?t

know which one to take. He takes the road that only

few people took.But in the end he still ends up happy.

That shows that people can be different and stillhave

a great life. Robert Frost has a positive attitude

toward being an individual. He being yourself is the

best thing. If you are yourself it will help you make

your dicitions. At the end of the poem he says ? I shall

be telling this with a sigh?. I think that it means that he

might regret not going down the other way. He uses a

lot of imagery mostly all the second and third

stanza?s. The setting of the poem is outdoor because

he is looking at two roads,its in the country because

of the way he described the road like with the leaves

and dirt roads, its on land because he is walking. The

occasion i think he is writing about is the his career in

life. He has to go one way or the other. I think that the

central purpose of this poem is to be yourself and that

will make all the difference in the world.

I liked all the poems i read of his but this is my

favorite one. The first time i read it in 9th grade it

stuck with me the rest of my life.
