Literary Analysis of The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Being a Reading Teacher

Reading is for me an act of transformation that is magical. Thirst and hunger fade as the words find their place in my remembrance of you. Who might you be? You are here with me. Happiness, felicity, thy name is Gaby. Source of all my bravery, you are my poetry…

Reading, I fear thee not. Fear of reading, Neither cold nor hot, I am reading. I read for my wife, Gabriela de Lourdes León Vargas. I read for my son, Thomas Jerome Baker, Jr. No fear of reading, I am reading

    What is unique to me is that the poem has much to do with regret over a decision…this is wonderful…it’s great to find ideas like this, thanks

    What about “Then took the other, as just as fair” ? Is not the narrator still on the road when we leave him?
