The Unknown Choices in life can be as simple as deciding where to go out to eat or what to wear and as difficult as deciding which college to enroll in and who to marry. The most tiring part is not knowing if you made the right decision because even the simplest choices can shape the future. There are no guarantees in life so every decision counts. The second guess is as natural to humans as breathing, which makes decision making much more difficult because it's more than just choosing something and sticking to it, there's always the curiosity of what if? Even when faced with the most difficult decisions you have to live with the choices you make, which is very similar to what the narrator of Robert Frost's “The Road Not Taken” is forced to deal with. The poem is set in autumn when the leaves are changing color and starting to cover the ground. The speaker of the poem finds himself at an unknown fork in the road and is forced to decide which direction he should go. While the speaker is deliberating, he is "sorry" that he can't both travel and it seems that this is because the speaker is afraid of choosing the wrong one (Frost 2). Even though he “looked down as far as he could” the end was not in sight (4). Just like in life, you can have an idea of ​​what will happen and there is no telling which choices will prove beneficial and which will not. The speaker knows that although the paths are similar, the result of choosing the wrong one could be life-changing. Even if he is upset, he needs to trust himself to know what would be the best solution for him in the long run. After analyzing one path, the speaker takes the other path without spending too much time investigating it. He does it like this... in the middle of the paper... he addresses a difficult situation by saying that he will return to it and seems very adamant about it from the enthusiasm and the point of explanation at the end of the sentence. Eventually the speaker realizes that the His hopes of returning are senseless and will most likely not come true. Returning to the road will be too difficult because “one road leads to another” (14). The roads are all connected just like making one decision leads to making another and eventually it will be too difficult to find your way back to the beginning. It's exactly like deciding which university to attend. Once you find a school there is always that skepticism about whether you made the right choice or not, but thinking “I can always transfer” helps you deal with the decision. Once the first year has passed, the reality of moving is much more complicated and it would seem impossible to start all over again.
