Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken

Reading Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” I could visualize every line I read and see the picture it painted. I could also see a couple different ways to interpret this from past experiences and others experiences I have helped with. One is as I think most think he is coming to a point in his life where most do and must decide on what is next for them. What fork in the road shall one take when faced with the life’s choices. Some roads are worn and traveled a lot, as it seems to be the road to much success. Others just follow peers along whichever road, be it a good or bad path to follow.

Some choose to make their own way in life no matter the consequences. These are thinking about taking the less traveled path, are asking themselves is the reward is going to worth the risk. These roads are also seen in reverse, some read into these as most traveled is the bad one, as it is the easiest to travel and the less traveled is the good one as it is the more difficult one to travel. Nonetheless, it’s a matter of opinion for each how to perceive. With this said, however, unfortunately, some others look down these roads for far darker reasons

This is where I think the unfortunate part comes in; whereas, some do not know that they will return from this journey or have another day to travel both. Frost takes this different approach stating: “Oh, I kept the first for another day!” (Frost, 1915) “Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.” (Frost, 1915). In the end, he made the right choice and with a sigh shares this with all the ages that he, in fact, did take the less traveled; making all the difference. I see into this poem, reading between the lines, into the soul of some of the readers and maybe even the writer. However, I cannot make an argument completely to show Orr is correct on his interpolation of this poem, as it is not like that completely of my own. In some ways yes, others
