Based on your understanding of the poem ‘The Road Not Taken’, write a diary entry of the speaker in the poem about the day he had to make a choice. Since I took the road less travelled by, it has made all the difference-The outcome is known to you. It is only the future that will reveal whether our decision was right or wrong. The basic thing is to make the right choice because after that we can’t undo them. But friend, this is the irony of life, we cannot travel on all the available roads, no matter however we wish to. I know fully well that I will not get a chance to go back to it. I must tell you about the day when I was facing a dilemma to choose between the two roads to walk upon and I chose the one which was less frequented, leaving the first one for some other day. Īs you know that I have established myself as a poet but this journey of life had not been very simple.
As the poet who took the road not taken by many people, write a letter to your friend stating how “it has made all the difference”. Whatever direction one takes one must pack it with determination and zest for one can never turn the clock back, or relive that moment. So there is nothing right or wrong about a choice, it is all relative. The poet does not moralise about choice, he simply says that choice is inevitable and you will never know till you have lived the ‘difference’. This poem encourages self-reliance, reinforces the power of independent thinking and sticking to one’s decisions. This poem is a call for the reader to forge his or her way in life and not follow the path that others have taken. This represents the eternal dilemma of man: he finds the grass greener always on the other side. One of the roads is described as grassy and ‘wanting wear’, then he says that both the roads look the same. The traveller comes to a fork and wishes to take both, which is impossible.
