    In the poem “Choices” it states, “We have a choice to shout out loud or chant a whisper to fly through the clouds or to be blown like paper.” This proves that that the narrator of the story is saying it to a crowd, but this time it is the reader. The difference between the two stories is that “The road not taken” is Third person point of view, but “Choices” is first person point of view. In the poem “The Road Not Taken” it states, “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” This proves that the point of view is different because he was saying “I” am that means 1st person, but in “Choices” it doesn't say “I” so it is in Third person point of…

    The speaker stands at a fork in the road “sorry [he or she] could not travel both” when he or she is forced to choose a path to continue on his or her way to the end of the trail. This “fork” stands for the path of life and each “road” is its own decision. The speaker “looked down one as far as [he or she] could” meaning the speaker tried to predict where the roads would lead him or her, based strictly on what it appeared to be. However despite the appearance of the roads, “the passing there had worn them really about the same,” and both of the “roads” or choices had been made many times. After choosing the “road” and following the path, the speaker looks back upon his or her life and sees “that has made all the difference” or, that his or her choice on that day set the course of his or her life.…

    A short story and poem, no matter how structurally different are two literary pieces where a rich story is embedded. Readers are drawn towards these scripts by means of rhythm (poem), characterization, or a fictional setting in their respective narratives. However, the mere writing would not make it entertaining enough. It would depend on the imagination of the readers as they are reading the writings put in front of them. Every reader has their own way of visualizing the descriptions and symbolism used by the author. The three literary pieces, “The Road Not Taken” (poem), and the two…

    I have selected these two masterpieces of arts as they both depict my and probably several people’s eternal question: which road to take. Even one of my favourite Hungarian folk songs is ’There are two roads in front of me, which one to take?’ The moment of making decisions is hidden in every minute of our lives though only the most important points of our decisions make us ponder what to do. What makes the decisions difficult is that we are aware of the options without knowing the one-hundred-percent certain consequences of our choices most of the time. And this makes us stop and think like a big ’stop and give way’ traffic sign in our lives as Frost wrote: „….long I stood / And looked down one as far as I could / To where it bent in the undergrowth.”…
