Can I get the summary of the poem The Road not taken

Hello all,
 
@ sharmadahs, your friends Nikhita and Afreen have put in a lot of effort in helping you out. Hope that helped.
Here is a brief idea of the poetry which would help you understand better:
 
The speaker has come to a fork in a path in the woods. It's fall, and the leaves are turning colors. He's unsure which way to go, and wishes he could go both ways. He looks down one path as far as he can see, but then he decides to take the other. He thinks the path he decides to take is not quite as worn as the other one, but really, the paths are about the same, and the fallen leaves on both look pretty fresh.

The speaker reflects on how he plans to take the road that he didn't take another day, but suspects that he probably won't ever come back. Instead, far off in the future, he'll be talking about how his decision was final and life changing.
 
Hope the above explanation helped you with your query.
 
@ Nikhita and Afreen, hats off to your effort! Bravo!
 
Cheers!
Think Bright!

  THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

1

Two road separated in a yellow forest. The poet regretted that he could not travel both the roads and be a traveller. He stood there for a long. He looked down one road as far as he could till it bent in the udergrowth.

2

Then the poet took the other road. It looked equally fair and, perhaps, had a better claim. It was so because it was grassy and wanted wear. As far as the passing was concerened, both the roads had been worn equally.

3

And that morning both the roads lay equally in leaves. These had not been trodden . The poet kept the first road for another day. Knowing that one way leads to the other he had a doubt  if he would ever come back .

4

The poet shall be telling with a sigh ages and ages after that two roads diverged in a forest . And he took the one road which had been travelled less. That had made all the difference.

                                These are the paraphases of each Para.........

hi ,here's the summary of 'the road not taken'

One day,while traveling alone the poet reached a point where the road diverted into two. the poet could not take both the roads.he had to make a choice and to take one road.it took him some time to make the choice.he looked down one of the roads as far as he could see till it bent.At last he took the other road which appeared to be fair.The road was a little less frequented though actually there was no such difference for "the passing there had worn them really about the same."

Both the roads on that fine morning lay fresh with the leaves.No human steps had  trodden there and turned them black.The poet wanted to keep the first road for another day.He knew it very well that road leads on to road.Yet he was in doubt if he would have to come back.

The poet will always tell it with a sigh somewhere and in time to come that the two roads diverged in wood that he took the less frequented one.The choice was important .It was the choice which determined his destiny and made him a poet different from others. His future career was determined by this choice. This is how this choice made all the difference.

hope this helps!

cheers

thumbs up plzz..
