The road not taken by Robert Frost

This poem is fantastic. I love the first scentence in the begining it says: two roads diverged. It's almost as if you can see the two paths. I like how he talks of looking down one road as far as he could ,but it bends and he can't see any further. I also like how he describes each path the first one being bent in undergrowth and the second one being grassy and wanting wear. He talks of both paths being worn almost the same and they equally lay with no leaves crunched by walking feet. So, either road he takes no one has taken, is what i'm getting out of this. He then says I doubt if i should ever come back. This poem has allot to do with choices we make in life. We can chose to do a career in medicine or in government, either choice will take us down a totally different path. We all try and look into the future as far as we can and see where we will be in ten years. That is impossible to do, no one can know where there going to be. That's the exciting part about life, not knowing what's going to happen. I like how Robert Frost ends the poem he says " I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference". He's basically saying don't be a follower. Make your life how YOU want it. Make choices that are yours.
