We come to life changing trials in our life, some may be a path that we are glad we did while others wished that we can go back and choose the other because of a negative result.

In the previous verses Frost explains in narrative one road to be the road that the traveler like stated earlier can be assumed to be Frost himself, to be road he will choose.

Frost will always be remembered as the author of the “Road Not Taken” and for teaching us that every little thing can change your life forever. (Barreras,
