the age of 11, his move to England when he was 37, and then his return to

New Hampshire a couple of years later" (Knowledge Adventure 2). Robert

Frost's inspiration for his poetry came from within himself. His decisions

concerning which direction his life would take can be seen in one of his

most acclaimed poems " The Road Not Taken". Ultimately he realized, as

is expressed in his works, that the road one chooses to take is what builds

and defines one's character. It is a life-long decision that one cannot

change further down the great road of life.

wood, and sorry I could not travel both" (Frost 815). In the first two lines,

ways, but in life, you must choose one. He looked down both roads as far

no one had traveled the road before. Frost wishes that he could take both

lines, however sting. The majority of the people in life took the easy road,

and the other road looked as though no one liked to travel it. Frost took the

tough; both of the roads had no footprints, as leading people to believe that

has made all the difference" (Frost 816). Frost says that he will be telling

shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two

choice, and that choice has brought him to where he is today.
