| The Road Not Taken |
|---|
| by Robert Frost |
| Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, |
| And sorry I could not travel both |
| And be one traveler, long I stood |
| And looked down one as far as I could |
| To where it bent in the undergrowth: |
| Then took the other, as just as fair, |
| And having perhaps the better clain, |
| Because it was grassy and wanted wear; |
| Though as for that, the passing there |
| Had worn them really about the same, |
| And both that morning equally lay |
| In 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 sigh |
| Somewhere 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. |
You should utilize all the skills discussed for analyzing poetry and apply them. In other words you should do the following:
- Title Analysis
- Scan for unfamiliar words
- Read twice or more as needed
- Write down initial reaction
- Analyze poem with TPFLASSTT and 10 Point Analysis, but don't overwork yourself by duplicating tasks in the TPFLASSTT and the 10 Point Analysis
