Robert Frost The Road Not Taken
710 wordsThe Road Not Taken is perhaps one of Robert Frost's most famous poems. This poem deals with the choices you have to make in life. Whether it's what to wear in the morning or what to do with your life, everyone makes choices.

Fire And Ice Human Race
511 wordsAfter reading this poem and being quite confused by it, I was determined to find out what it meant.
