Choices_Are_Never_Easy

Choices Are Never Easy Choices are never easy- men face multitudes of them in their lifetime. Some decisions to these choices are clear while others are 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. The narrator is faced between the choice of a moment and a lifetime. Walking down a rural road the narrator encounters a point on his travel that diverges into two separate similar paths. Frost presents the idea of man facing the difficult unalterable decision of a moment and a lifetime. This idea in Frost’s poem is embodied in the fork in the road, the decision between the two paths, and the speaker’s decision to select the road less traveled. Man’s life can be metaphorically related to a physical journey filled with many twists and turns. Throughout this journey there are instants where choices between alternate paths have to be made. The route a man decides to take is not always an easy one to determine. The fork in the road represents the speaker’s encounter of having to choose from two paths, a direction that will affect him the rest of his life.
