Comments on The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"  is one of my favorite poems.  "The Road Not Taken" is a poem that everyone can relate to everyday life then and now.  As we go through our everyday life we are faced with many decisions some simple and easy to make and other's not so much. As an opening Frost says, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood/And sorry I could not travel both/." ) I believe that sometimes the simplest decision can become the hardest one to make. We must think about the after and the consequence of the decision we are to make whether it be a positive or a negative one. Other times we must listen to our inner voice even though others are trying to influence us as we wonder and think.  "Oh, I kept the first for another day/ Yet knowing how way leads on to way/ I doubted if I should ever come back" (Line13-15)  Here I believe that Frost was trying to say that with many decisions we make through life there are doubts and we stop and think what would have happened if but in the end we do what is best and right for us no regrets and no looking back. In closing Frost uses my favorite line of all.  He says, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I/took the one less traveled by/And that has made all the difference." (Line 18-20)  With this I believe he was saying that in life we all make decisions that others may not agree with and we take a different road than the others but that decision could be the reason we reach greatness.
