ALL POEMS OF CLASS 9 : SUMMARY
1.THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
This poem composed by Robert Frost gives a life lesson that we should make
choices unlike other people and look carefully for consequences of our choices
that we make . This has been explained by one of the situation which Robert Frost
went in .
The poet was walking down the road when he found a diversion where two roads
diverged in different directions. The poet felt sorry that he could not travel on both
roads. He had to make one decision and choose a single path. At the junction, the poet
stood for a long time and tried to look at the roads as far as he could. He wanted to see
the roads in full and wanted to know about both paths. But, he could not see anything
beyond the diversion as the roads were curved and covered with trees. In the stanza, the
yellow wood refers to the forest with leaves which were shed on the road and had turned
yellow. This indicates that it was the autumn season. Through this stanza, the poet
wants to convey that in everyone’s life, there comes a time when we have to make
choices. We have alternatives, but we have to choose only one. At that time, we see the
pros and cons of the situation and take the time to decide which path to take. Similarly,
the poet is also taking time before making any decision.
After pondering on it for a long time, the poet decided to take the other road. He felt that
both roads were equally good. He started walking on the road which had grass on it and
felt that it was a better road for him. The grassy road means that the road was not used,
and the wanted wear means that only a few people have walked through it. After walking
some distance on the road, the poet felt that both paths were almost the same. There
was hardly any difference between them. Through this, the poet conveys that, in our life,
whatever decisions we take or choices we make, each choice has some advantages
and some disadvantages. Problems are everywhere, so we must be ready to face them.

One should be very cautious while discussing decisions with anyone. It is advisable
to consult and seek help only from very close ones which include parents.
