The road not taken by Robert Frost had a lot more in the poem then just choosing between going here or choosing to go over there. It had depth about how every choice affects you and your life. One wrong choice and your headed down the wrong road and you may not be able to come back. The road may twist and turn to the point of no return, but hopefully like the speaker in the poem he choose the road that benifited him most. Something that would make him happy so he choose as in the poem, "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." which did for him since if he would have went down the path of others the speaker would have been miserable.
I chose this poem because I believes it teaches a good life lesson about how each decision alters your life. This is important to me because I am a bit of a percrastinator and so when I don't want to do something such as homework then I probably will wait till the last minute. But this poem taught me something. Something that I have experienced with my percrastination when I wait till the last second instead of doing it when I had time then i'm usually more miserable and I usually have to miss out of something fun to do. Or even another example that i've realized through this poem. When I choose to work out or condition for basketball and then I go to play in a game I feel a whole lot better and happier to play then when I choose the lazy way out and sit around.
Comment to a classmate: I agree with Amanda about how every split in the road is your decision to make and you have to make it better yourself and not to benefit others or eles you most likely will end up unhappy and stuck on a path you would rather not be on.
