The poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is about the __________ that one
makes in life. It tells about a man who comes to a ___________ in the road he is
travelling upon. He feels ___________ that he can not travel___________ paths as he
must choose one. Frost uses this fork in the road to represent a point in the man's life
where he has to choose the ___________ he wishes to take in life. As he thinks about
his ___________ he looks down one path, as far as he can see trying to ___________
what life will be like if he walks that path. He then gazes at the other and decides that the
outcome of going down that path would be just as ________________. At this point he
concludes that the ________that has been less travelled on would be more
___________ when he reaches the end of it. The man then decides that he will save the
other path for another day, even though he knows that one path leads to another and
that he won't get a ___________ to go back. The man then says that he will be telling
this story with a sigh, someday in the future suggesting that he will ___________ what
life would have been like if he had chosen the more walked path even though the path
he chose has made all the difference.


Roads are fascinating as metaphors for life, change, journeys, partings,
adventure, etc. or simply as roads. This is probably why they, and all their
attendant images, have permeated art, literature and songs. In the poem, Frost
uses the fork in the road as a metaphor for the choices we make in life. Thus the
roads are, in fact, two alternative ways of life. What other nouns, according to
you could be used to represent life?


River
