Road Not Taken Group Analysis Information

Here is some of the information presented by you or your peers during class.

THEME:

1. It is important to take the paths in life that are uncommon.
2. Don't do what everybody else is doing, but be different.
3. Live life in your own direction, make/take your own path.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh, somewhere ages and ages hence, Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference."

PARAPHRASING:
The speaker is having trouble choosing which path to take in life. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood sorry I could not travel both" In life you chose your path, but sometimes you can't start over and take another one or try again if its a bad one. "and both that morning equally lay, in leaves no step had trodden black," "somewhere ages and ages hence," he is growing old and looking back over his life and the path he has chosen. "I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference." This difference is a good different. Needs an explanation. "I shall be telling this with a sigh," A sigh can be negative or positive explain. "Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back." He was happy and satisfied with his choice because he would do it over again.

Major Paper Preparations

Today we broke up into groups/stations and concentrated on one particular element in TPFLASSTT of the poem, "The Road Not Taken", by Robert Frost.


In our groups/stations, we concentrated on finding the following four things:

1. Quotes


• Let's your reader know that you know and can support what you claim with data/information from the poem/TEXT


2. Examples


• Let's your reader know that you know what you are talking about in regards to your knowledge of literature, what literary elements are present.


3. Explanation


• Make sure that you successfully tie together the quote and the example, so that they are no more twain, but one.


4. Value


• Explain how the poem is better as a result of the author's phrasing/diction. What ways would have been less poetic/profound/beautiful?

The last thing that we needed to do was to organize the information collected by our "expert" group into a few paragraphs or points that could be presented to the class tomorrow.
