Figurative Language Demonstrated by the Idea of Choice in “The Road Not Taken” Choice can be defined as making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. Robert Frost composed “The Road Not Taken” for a friend, Edward Thomas, intending for the poem to be a joke.

without the gratifying feeling of accomplishment. It happened on our road trip this summer at Six Flags in Colorado. My cousins and I made a deal that we had to try every ride they suggested at least once. Now, this sounded like a superb deal to me for I am always up for a daring adventure and how bad could it be, they are just rides. I remember how brimful the place was, it felt like I was at black Friday with all of the parents hustling and bustling around with arms filled with shopping bags or I

How Stupid I am and Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Accept Me Dear admission officer, I know it will be a boring essay for you if I tell you about how sad my life is and I didn’t want to brag about how brilliant I am either.

guessed that patience would teach me so many things in life. It played an important role in my life the day I was learning how to ride a snowboard. Small lessons can help you later in life. On that cold winter’s day, I learned that practice and patience are significant things that life teaches us. “I want to try the snowboard now,” I said as I watched my little brother ride down our hill without any troubles at all. The smile on his face made me want to surpass him even more. I wanted to be better
I was gone in a week. As far as I could tell, my parents hadn’t noticed. I moved two states over, and got a job. I was homeless for a long time. I’ve got a car, and a scrungy apartment. It’s been about two years since then. No one else has approached me spouting nonsense about a chosen one. It’s mostly just the same old thing. I go to work come home eat microwave noodles, and wish I hadn’t died. The parking lot of my building is where I spend most of my time. They don’t allow smoking inside, and
