Choice

Choice


We make choices all the time. We hope we make good choices. We will look at some literature that shows us choices characters make. You will be assessing those choices. What choices has the author made? What choices have you made? What is the process we go through when we make choices? Are you happy with your choices?

In the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost the character in the poem comes across a path with two roads. He says "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", so he's staring down one of the roads observing it so that he can have a view of what that road has along the way. Then he said "Then took the other, as just as fair and having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and wanted wear", he looked at the other road because they both look the same but this one had more positive energy in which he based his choice on. He spent some time coming up with his choice of which road to take, he based his choice on which road seemed safer and less traveled by. The second road was grassy and wanted wear meaning not alot of people had walked through there so its less cautious or dangerous.
