From the Paper:
"Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken," describes a life experience of making a choice by using the analogy of being in a forest and choosing one path over another. Frost uses the literary technique of imagery to illustrate how making choices is much like standing in the forest and choosing between two paths that look almost identical. The sound techniques add texture to the poem because it is easy to read and the poet reaffirms his faith in his decisions in the poem's conclusions. The theme of the difficulty of making choices is depicted perfectly in this poem as the poet takes us down a road that splits, forcing him to choose one way or another."Sample of Sources Used:
