The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
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.

2)I chose this poem because when I read it, I felt a connection. I think the point of taking your own path is important as following others all the time doesn't make you who you really are.
3)The title "The Road Not Taken" is very easily seen in the ideas of the poem. Robert Frost literally travels one road instead of another because he sees the oppotunity in not following "most people."
4)"Because it was grassy and wanted wear" Frost uses imagery here to show that this path has been wanted less be previous travelers and we can tell because the vegitation is much more full then the other path that has been cleared by walking people.
5)I find the tone of this poem to be a kind of personal motivator. It starts as a dilema and shows how making the personal choice- opposed to the popular choice- makes "all the difference." It gives the idea that a lot of positives have come from making the individual choice.
