The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

1.How are the figurative language used in the poem? Give the specific word(s), explain what type of figurative language it is and why the poet chose to use this figurative language?

'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood' is a metaphor for choosing choices in life.this metaphor achieved its purpose as some roads are dangerous like some paths of life are risky. The poet uses metaphor here as he wanted to emphasis on how difficult it is to make a descision and how neccessariy it is.In Line 2, 3 and 4, the fist letter 'and' is a hyperbole . The writer is indirectly telling us that once a chose his route, he cant turn back.he also is emphasizing on this important choice.

2. Tell us why you like this poem in no less than 100 words.

I like this poem because it describes a scene when one man is trying to make a choice.In this poem.The poem had a lot of words which told us indirectly its meaning like ' the yellow wood'which tell us its autom.Interesting punctuation also tell us about the writers feeling like the dash in stanza 4 ,line 3.It tells us that the writer paused,probably,hestitating.The poem also emphasized on how difficult it is for the writer by saying that the road looked the same two times -- stanza 2 ,line 1(then took the other,as just as fair),and stanza 2 ,line 5
(had worn them really about the same.)the same in that sentence also reiterate the 'equally' on the next line.Finally,after much decision,the writer chose the one less traveled,which presents the writer's personality,he is an adventurous and curious man.
