The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost




Weekend Homework. Read this poem most of you are familiar with by Robert Frost: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken

After you read the poem do one of the following three in a robust paragraph. Posts that reference the poem, parts of readings, and other students' thoughts in their posts will all be considered "quality" posts. Make sure your post states up front which of the three you are responding to.

1) relate the two paths diverging in the woods, path less chosen theme to three of the following
characters: Mrs Turpin ("Revelation"), Kenneth ("The Intruder"), the Dad in Chicxulub, and Jesse McNeil ("Waiting for the Evening News"). (synthesis of story question)

2) compare the themes of this poem with the themes of "Hound of Heaven"? (poetry question)

3) compare the themes of this poem with Heidegger's Authenticity/Inauthenticity. What are the two paths--one path you are currently struggling over? (Personal divulging question).
