The Road Not Taken: All the Difference Every person has to make many decisions in their life. Some decisions are easy while others are more difficult. The poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is a first-person narrative account of a monumental moment in Frost's life. Frost is faced with the choice of a moment and that of an entire life. Traveling along a country road the narrator encounters a point in his journey that diverges into two separate similar paths. In Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken", Frost presents the idea of ​​man facing the difficult and unalterable predilection of a moment and a life. This idea in Frost's poetry is embodied in the crossroads, in the decision between the two paths, and in the speaker's decision. Man's life can be metaphorically related to a physical journey filled with many twists and turns. During this journey there are moments when it is necessary to make choices between alternative routes: the path that man decides to take is not always easy to determine. The crossroads represents the speaker's encounter in having to choose between two paths a direction that will influence the rest of his life ( ). Frost presents the reader with a time in anyone's life when a difficult and problematic choice must be made. There are so many options in life that man faces; Frost symbolizes this in the divergence of the two paths in his poem. The decision about which path to choose can be difficult to accept, as can the revelation of choices. The two paths represent the options that man must choose between. Faced with these decisions, man must carefully weigh his options... middle of paper... ways. Faced with very similar choices, man tries to examine what they have to offer, but is often unable to explain the consequences. Man can choose to take the common path, which is the most reliable, and have a common life, or he can choose the less common path, which is unknown and often difficult, and have a unique life that stands out from everyone else's life the others. The choices a person makes in life are ultimately responsible for their future, but at the same time a person can never return to the past and experience other possibilities. It is impossible to predict the outcomes of the capital decisions we make; it is often essential to make these decisions by fixing them on nothing more than wondering which selection will provide satisfaction. In the end, we reflect on the decisions we made and, like Frost, sigh, discovering that they made "all the difference".."
