Robert Frost's poetry defines the euphoria that turns toward understanding. In “The Road Not Taken,” he describes what many people encounter on a daily basis in the decision-making process. This poem talks about the choices we make by comparing them to a people on a road that may seem less or often traveled. Many people are faced with choices in their daily lives that could affect them in the long term, whether negative or positive. The options we decide on can determine what our future and present life holds, whether it is good or bad. In Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken", Frost uses a fork in the road to symbolize a road often and rarely traveled. These paths are everyday decisions we make every day and are surrounded by consequences. Rarely traveled roads are described in this poem. It is true; There is always a road less travelled. For example, we are given the opportunity to continue our education after high school. Some students will choose to continue and others will choose not to continue. Whether they choose to continue or not becomes a decision we would regret or achieve. If we do not follow an educational path, we will most likely rarely have success stories such as receiving CEO positions or becoming president of the United States. Normally, the road less traveled is the one that seems difficult because many people try to follow the easy choice that eventually reaches them. For example, a person who has decided not to go to college may later decide to attend college at an older age because they want to have a successful life or want their children to understand the importance of obtaining a higher education. However, it is very difficult because they are older and the information they learned years ago was… middle of paper… they would make tough decisions that would create dedication and hard work. When people work hard to accomplish something or achieve goals, they will remember their hard work and dedication and appreciate the work they have completed. For example, if a person decides to become a neurosurgeon, he or she would have to study hard and sacrifice playing time for reading time. Being a surgeon is a big shoe to fill and requires dedication and hard work. When this person reaches their goal of becoming a neurosurgeon, they will always remember how hard they had to work to get there. The result is to encourage others to work hard and sacrifice just for a little while to achieve their goals. Works Cited Booth, Alison, and Kelly J.
