Answer» Answer: The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost is narrated by a lone traveler who comes across two roads, symbolizing the journey of life and the decisions we make on that journey. The narrator chose the path that was 'grassy and wanted wear,' which demonstrates the desire one might have for ADVENTURE and a sense of uniqueness. The other road symbolized the path most take in life and hence, is one among many.
Like SHAKESPEARE said in his play 'As you like it' , "All the world is a stage, And all the men and women merely PLAYERS..." This is an APT metaphor for life as we discuss the life cycle of man in these words. Another metaphor for life would be an onion. An onion, like life, has many layers. When you peel back the layers, what do you find? You DISCOVER something new each time, and you might shed a tear along the way. Putting together a puzzle is also quite like life. Sometimes you don’t always have all the pieces. In the end, when you do, everything fits together.
