Road_Not_Taken

Road Not Taken The Choice of the Road Not Taken Choices are never easy-people face many of them in a lifetime. Some choices are clear while others are sometimes more difficult. The poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is a first person narrative tale of a monumental moment in the speaker’s life. This idea in Frost’s poem is the fork in the road, the decision between the two paths, and the speaker’s decision to select the road not taken. “The Road Not Taken” was written in a time when Frost himself had to make a choice in life, and his daring decision to take the road not taken. Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco. His father was William Frost, a Harvard graduate who was on his way westward when he stopped to teach at Bucknell Academy in Pennsylvania for extra money. His mother, Isabelle Moodie began teaching math at Bucknell while William was there, and they got married and moved to San Francisco. They were constantly changing houses, and William went from job to job as a journalist. About a year after moving to San Francisco, they had Robert.
