This week, Ms. Stronks gave us a packet about "The Road Not Taken" and "The Choice". I chose to do number eleven in the packet for my oral presentation. The question was, “In both ‘The Road Not Taken’ and ‘The Choice’, the poets tell how they made their choices and how they view their choices years after they made them. Complete this chart to compare these poems.” In “The Road Not Taken”, Robert Frost has the choice to take the road that was traveled by everyone else and the road less traveled by. He chose the second road because it wanted wear and wasn’t used as much. This shows that Frost wants to be different than everyone else and chooses the thing that everyone else does not take or want. Years later, Frost is either happy or sad that he chose the road less traveled by because it “made all the difference”. In “The Choice”, Dorothy Parker has the choice between a rich man and a poor man. She chooses the poorer man because he was kind and sang a sweet, loving song. Years later, Parker is not happy with her choice and believes she is crazy for picking the poor man. This might be because the poor man did not have much money, making Parker struggle economically. These choices deeply impact the rest of these poets' lives. The impacts are both negative and positively in both poems. http://www.bartleby.com/119/1.html
