Detailed explanation-1: -The speaker in “The Road Not Taken” is most clearly which type of person? A person lost in the woods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Our speaker is a very conflicted guy. He doesn’t tell us too much about himself, but we know that he is facing a big decision; the road he’s walking on, and the life he’s leading, is splitting into two separate roads up ahead.
Detailed explanation-3: -He has to choose between the easier path and the one that has challenges. The speaker knows that his choice will influence his future and feels that, as Carnegie says in the quote, if he takes risks and chooses the road less traveled, maybe he will be more successful and have a more fulfilling life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The speaker of this poem is not unhappy with his choice, and wonders where the other path, the road he did not take, would have led him. He thinks about a future time when he will look back at his decision with a sigh of regret as he thinks of the opportunities he may have lost by not taking the other road.
Detailed explanation-5: -The speaker of the poem spends most of their time trying to decide which path to take. They describe each path in detail: the first one curves into the undergrowth, while the second was more tempting because it was “grassy” and a little less worn.
