![]() Such thoughts never allow us to be happy with what we have gained from our decision. Reconsidering a decision or contemplating over it is not a positive approach towards life. Having made a choice, I accept the reality. Taking a decision sometimes makes or mars our future. Like the poet in poem, I will choose a challenging and unexplored path in my life.Īfter you have made a choice do you always think about what might have been, or do you accept the reality? I will choose a path that gives me satisfaction and mental peace. I will make choice according to my capabilities and strong points at that time. Then it will be difficult to make a choice between them. I will have hundreds of options before me. After completing my general education, I will have to make choice of profession whether I should become an engineer or doctor or something else. Yes, I think sooner or later I will have difficult choices to make. Perhaps I am still too young to make an independent choice. No, till now I have never been in a situation in which I had to make a difficult choice. Have you ever had to make a difficult choice (or do you think you will have difficult choices to make)? How will you make the choice (for what reasons)? He wanted to do something different in his life, so he has chosen the less travelled road. He took the unexplored (untrodden) path in his life. The poet made a choice and accepted the challenging path. And that has made all the difference for him. ![]() The poet has taken a path that has been rather unused so far. The last two lines show the importance of making a choice in one’s life. What, do you think, the last two lines of the poem mean? (Looking back, does the poet regret his choice or accept it ?) In the last two lines of the poem, the poet says that there is a difference between the two roads as the road he had taken was less travelled by other people and it made all the difference to his journey. In stanza three, the poet says that both the roads were equally covered with leaves and no person had trodden them. In stanza two, the poet explains that the only difference between the two roads was that the road he took had the right to be chosen (the better claim) because it was grassy and it had not been used too much. Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them. It also symbolically means how certain decisions one makes in life could pave the way for many other decisions. ![]() It means the poet was knowing that one way leads to another. The leaves lying on that way had not changed their colour because of being trampled on and turned black. It means ‘passersby had not trodden that way. (iv) …‘leaves no step had trodden black.’ It means ‘the use of that road/path by passersby.’ It conveys that the road was overgrown with grass and nobody had trodden that road. The poet could be symbolically talking about the later stage of life. He could not decide which way he should continue his journey because it is not possible for him to travel both the roads at the same time. The traveller finds himself in the yellow woods at a junction where the road diverges into two different directions. Where does the traveller find himself? What problem does he face?
