The poet lamented that there are many roads to choose from in life, but one can only take one road, and there are many other roads. Because life is too short to give up, the choice of life path is accidental and random. Poets don't write about the road of choice, but lament the road of choice, which can resonate with readers and make people think deeply about the choice of life.
The Writing Background of The Road Not Taken
The Road Not Taken was first published in the August issue of Atlantic Monthly, 19 15. The following year, the author compiled it as the first poem into the collection of poems "Mountain Lowland". The content of this poem is related to the poet's experience. Frost began to write poetry in high school, and published his debut at the age of 17. Since then, I have always insisted on writing poems, but rarely published them. In the past 20 years, I have only published six articles in small journals.
He plans to go to England with the dream of becoming a poet. So whether to stay in my hometown (New England) or go to England; Whether to be a farmer or a poet, he is faced with two choices.

19 12 years, he sold his farm, went to England and lived near London. He succeeded. 19 13 published his first book of poetry, The Will of Teenagers, and embarked on the road of poetry creation. When he wrote this poem, he had returned to New England to become a little poet. The fork in the forest symbolizes the road of life in the poem, which contains philosophy and can give people deep thinking after reading it.
