The road not taken by Robert Frost Presentation by love the morons
Paraphase; o
Stanza 1 I was traveling alone and saw two roads in wood. I felt sorry I could not travel down both of them. For a long time I looked down one of them till it turned a corner and was hidden by the bushes.
o
Stanza 2 Then I took the other road. It looked just as good. It attracted me maybe because it was grassy and less used. On 2nd thoughts, it looked as much traveled as the other.
o
Stanza 3 That morning, both roads were equally covered with leaves, which had not been walked on.
o
Stanza 4 Some time in the future, I shall be telling this story with regret. 2 roads branched out in a wood and I took the less traveled one and that has made a huge difference in my life.
setting o o
Physical lonely forest in autumn Time Persona as a young person until a mid-aged person.
Themes
Making choices in life. Regret for the choices that we have to forgo.
Moral values
We have to make choices in life. We must appreciate nature.
Tone & mood Quiet & reflective (description of the wood) Lonely (based on the remote setting) Nostalgic & regretful (based on the ending of the poem)
Structure & style 4 stanzas with 5 lines each. Rhyme scheme ( abaab ) Metaphor eg.1 Comparison of life to road. Repetition eg.1 Poet repeats ‘I’ to convey a sense of
lingering regret. ( last stanza )
