After looking over the poems are class voted on to read, I was very happy to see at least one Frost poem in the list. My senior year of high school, we read a lot of his poems and he was one of my favorite authors to read. His poems have great meaning to them and are excellent poems to discuss about. Each word he uses has a meaning and each poem almost has a moral to it. That is why I was very excited to read The Road Not Taken because that was a poem I spent a lot of time looking through in high school. In this poem, Frost talks about coming to a fork in the road, one is a dirt path where no one has gone down and the other is a grassy trail with flowers and other details that attracts the eye. As he decides to pick which way to go, he thinks if he should follow the crowd or do what he believes in. After choosing to go down the dirt path, he wants to show everyone that yo need to be yourself and just because someone else does something, does not mean you have to do the same. If everyone decided to go down the same road, then this world would not be the same. You always have to try something new no matter what, even if your not good at it or no one else has done it, you will never find who you truly are as a person if you do not go down the The Road Not Taken.
