On “The Road Not Taken” It is not uncommon for a work to be misinterpreted or misunderstood from the author's true intentions. One of the best examples is Robert Frost's poem, “The Road Not Taken.” For as long as it has been read, “The Road Not Taken” has been interpreted as a important defense of individualism and as a justification of the idea of 'nonconformity.' The most commonly held interpretation of “The Road Not Taken” is a story of a man traveling in the woods. He comes across a fork in the path and after seeing that one of the paths is well worn by other travelers, decides to take the path less traveled. The last two lines, “I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference“ (lines 19-20), are seen as proof that he is well rewarded for his individualism.
He believes simplicity is the better choice. This quote reveals about Thoreau that he is a simplest and seeks to find the essential facts of life. The quote is definitely applicable today because of our dependence on technology and material possessions. Another aphorism would be “I have lived some thirty years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors.” He means that no elder or wise man has ever offered him anything of use during his life because their advice concerned the “trivial” aspects of life, and he seeks only simplicity. This shows Thoreau cares not for what the recognized “seniors” have to offer because they offer only useless
“Don’t go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path…and leave a trail” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Excerpt: This is similar to Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken”, where the traveler takes the road less traveled after arriving at a fork in the road. We will all face times where we have to make a choice of one or the other and be content with the decided direction. By taking the road less traveled, you’re straying from the normal, you’re not going the same, average way that everyone else goes. actually had not come across this until last year. At the Patriots Hall of Fame, they play a 15 minute video that gives a little history about the Patriots and how they have come to be what they are now.

In lines nine and ten he lets us know that the roads were the same. In the ninth line there is alliteration in the words “though“, “that“, “the” and “there“. Alliteration is in the words “them” and “the” in line ten. In lines eleven and twelfth lines the speaker says and both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black which means that, that morning both roads were the same not walked on by anyone. In the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth lines he tells that he will save the first road for another day and take the second road even though he doesn’t know where they lead he may not ever come back.
He uses descriptive word to describe the physical surroundings “grassy and wanted ware” and talks about knowing how “way leads onto way” “I doubted I would ever come back” makes the poem important because it indicates that whatever decision he makes would symbolise his life journey. As he has never come to the path before, he knows he can’t change his decision it once he has chosen which path to travel. Life points in one direction. The ‘sigh’ intimates that looking inward, when he reflects upon his life, he will remember the choice he made and although he states he would ‘say’ he took the road less travelled, it is apparent after reading “Though as for that, the passing there, Had worn them really about the same” that both paths had been travelled equally, not one less than the other. The poem tells us that we are free to choose our path, but we do not know beforehand which path we are taking until we have travelled it.
The light also represents his dreams of getting her back, and even when she is standing right beside him, he still cannot have her At the end of the book when Gatsby got shot, it resembled the end of Gatsby and the green light. “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then... borne back ceaselessly into the past. “ (Fitzgerald, 171) Gatsby believed that humans could recreate their past. He did not realize that his dream had passed him by.
My doubt I had in myself hampered me from feeling as though I was incapable of changing my situations. I want his belief in self to be his perserverence. Only I held myself back, through having a fixed mindset for all those years because my father did not believe in me. I wish to be the reason my son never holds back, that he will always push on and up because his mother always believed in him and told him he could and how he can not what he can't and how he will fail. I chose not to have fixed mindsets anymore.
But even though, even these places or something we cherish in the lives gone, we can still memorize them in our hearts that can keep them longer. Like people we love died or moved away, may we have no chance to see them anymore, but we still together because of the memorial past. And further more, people and animals are never giving up. We are always seeking our lives and recreate the places we love or very important to us. By doing this, these places will never gone, just as Eiseley’s assertion that “the world changes but we do not.
The speaker contemplates on whether he should take one road or the other, and after thinking and examination at one road, he decides to take the other road. The Road Not Taken is a poem where Frost’s discusses deeply about individualism and originality. The speaker begins his poem with “Two roads diverge in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both”. This describes the path of life in which at one point, we will have to make a decision into how we want to spend the rest of our lives. He then goes on to say “And be one traveler, long I stood, and looked down one as far as I could, to
