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.

Level I Institutionally Accredited

Robert Frost is figurative language because it shows uniqueness. It makes the

poem more understandable and the reader can connect to what a writer or poet
saying. The most common figurative language implies to the whole poem is the
metaphor. A metaphor is an implicitly made comparison between two seemingly
unlike things. Example is, the road in the poem is a metaphor for life and the path
we take through it. The fork in the road is a metaphor for the choices we must make
as we navigate our path.

B. Interpreter

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is a poem of a life journey. It is a life
decision where road to take. In life, we will encounter many choices along the way. I
am really connected to his poem.
I am now taking the course of BS-Psychology but what I really want is to enter
a law school someday. It was my biggest dream in my life, to become a lawyer that
serve for those people who need justice. But in life, there are challenges that will
come along the way and one of my experience is having a financial problem that
even though I really wanted to pursue law, I have to choose and take another path.
But, choosing another path doesn’t mean that I forget and won’t pursue my dream
someday. I am proud of where I am now. I know that this risk is worth taking for. I am
learning many things and many opportunities came. Maybe this will serve as my
stepping stone for what I still go through in the future.
Whatever we choose in life, we will get into what destined for us. We will face
the consequences of our choices but in the end, we will still reach our destination if
we won’t go against the will of God. They say what’s meant for us will find a way to
reach us because what meant for us will never be taken away by anyone. Trust the
process and have faith in God because he will never disappoint us.

The Road Not Taken, poem by Robert Frost is published year August
1915 and used as the opening poem of his collection Mountain Interval in year 1916.
The setting of the poem is a "yellow wood," where two roads "diverge." This means
that the speaker is in the woods in the early fall, when the leaves have turned yellow.
The inspiration of the poem came from Frost’s amusement over his closest friend in
England, Edward Thomas. The mood or tone of Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not
Taken" can perhaps be best described by the word nostalgia. It means looking back
on the past with sentimental emotions. The tone of the poem focuses more on how
Frost feels about the uncertainty of choices.  The narrator of the poem is unsure
about choosing the wrong road and missing unknown opportunities. 

D. Text/Work

The two roads symbolize the two choices he could make at a crucial point in
his life. This poem has four paragraphs consisting of 5 lines each. It uses ABAAB as
rhyme scheme. For example, the first stanza of Frost’s poem uses the following words at
the end of each line: wood, both, stood, could, and undergrowth. These words work
together in a way that allows Frost to create a rhyme scheme for his poem. Frost’s
rhyme scheme helps transmit the deep emotions lying within Frost and his words to the
reader.
In my opinion, the text shows the tone of being longing for something because
I notice the words like "diverged" and "sorry" in the first stanza and the phrase "wanted
wear" in the second stanza and the lines "I doubted if I should ever come back" and "I
shall be telling this with a sigh" in stanzas three and four.  The last lines in the poem,
show us that the narrator is happy with his choice. It makes us feel good for him. It
gives us hope, and that is why this poem is beloved by millions. he mood at the
beginning of the poem reflects the warmth of the "yellow wood" and the traveler's
anticipation at having to choose his own path, so the mood feels light-hearted, even
anticipatory.
