How Does Robert Frost Use Figurative Language In The Road Not Taken
If someone met a crossroad in his or her life and both roads brought many good things, what would he or she do? Robert Frost had to choose a path to take in his life. In “The Road Not Taken” He really thought long and hard about his decisions and which choice will take him further in life. The reader can tell from line 2 that the writer is very disappointed he couldn’t take both roads. He chose a road praying that choice was the right one.
The writer uses figurative language in the poem to get his point across. As an example he used crossroad as a metaphor in the poem, road is used as an extended metaphor. Crossroad is used as a metaphor of a choice we make in life. In the beginning the yellow wood is talking about autumn.
This could be a metaphor of making decisions during the fall of your life or when you get older. Another metaphor that he used to get his point across was when he said stuff about standing at the crossroad and looking as far as he could down both roads. Obviously he didn’t look down an actual road but he thought about which one would take him further in life. …show more content…
This poem could mean a lot of things but it all depends on who your telling it too.
This poem honestly means a lot to me because I can relate to it in almost every aspect of my life. For me this poem means when you meet a decision in your life think about it long and hard because you will never be able to change what you decide. Sometimes you could of made the right decision in your life or that’s what you think at least. At times you could make a decision in your life and at the beginning you might think it was the right decision but down the road it could end up bad. Decisions could be at a different levels at times. Kind of like if you go to college or not or if your going to sell drugs but there at different levels and could have different
outcomes.
Well this poem really had a lot of different things going on but had one meaning behind it all. It talked about different things like doing the right thing, choosing wisely, and most importantly decisions. Hopefully Robert Frost took the right road. The writer uses a whole lot of metaphors. He used a lot of metaphors but also had some other figurative language as well. By my 3rd paragraph someone will be able to see that this poem really touched me. This poem could mean a lot of things but hopefully it meant something good to someone
