The Road Not Taken
The Road Not Taken reminds me of a personal life experience: life is full of choices good, bad, successful and failure. The most interesting gain is that life has a purpose to teach each individual a different lesson. The areas in our life that we lack in return gain maturity. "And looked down one as far as I could, To where it bent in the undergrowth" Clugston,R.W. (2010),simile a direct comparison to show that similarity of two things that ordinarily are not thought of as being similar." Clugston,R.W. (2010),, The author is comparing nature to a contemplating decision of life . The undergrowth represent nature and life unexpected choices.
In criticizing this poem I chose the reader/ response approaches. "You must account for your feelings by finding specific aspects of literary work" Clugston,R.W. (2010) My imagination was capture by the scence that appeared to be in a dark lonely forest or a wooded secluded area. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both. Clugston,R.W. (2010).this line represent that fact the author had to make a decision that would affect his life without knowing the outcome that lies ahead of either path. There was an immediate connection with the author meaning in this poem. It is human nature to sometimes be afraid of change and choices. The connection overall is being able to balance with the expectation that change is constant in life and regardless of the road we travel we have to know that it is purpose in change.
