Lesson 1 of home IT learning

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.







This poem is telling us about why we should take the route less travelled, because even though it may be harder than the usual route, it is more rewarding and makes all the difference. Its shows that you are willing to challenge yourself to do things that are hard instead of taking the easier way out like other people.

  1. Hi Benji,

    Perhaps you could analysis and elaborate further on the poem - what literary devices does the poet use? What effect do the literary devices create? Do take some time to ponder over these questions...:)
