MEANING:
 It’s about choices faced in life. To illustrate these choices, Frost uses a
metaphor of a forked path in a wood. One way is a well-trodden and the
other is fresh with grass. A person comes to a fork in the road and needs to
decide which way to go to continue his journey.
 The first symbolizes a safe, easy choice which often taken. The second, is
more risky and unknown.
 We cannot choice the both way, knowing we do not know those both ends.
REASONS
 I chose this literary poem by Robert Frost, as this poem gave us a
realizations about choosing and making decisions in life. We should take
our decisions wholeheartedly and aware of the consequences or results of it.
Based on the poem, the author chose the road that is less taken by people.
For me, I realized that we should chose our best decisions in life that makes
us happy and contented and never regret at the end.
