Throughout life, we find ourselves faced with making many difficult
choices. It has been said that hindsight is 20/20. This means that when
you look back on a decision that you have made, it is very easy to decide
whether it was the right choice or not. The choices we make can have
positive and negative consequences, so it is important to choose wisely.
When presented with two options, how do you decide which action to take? Do
you ever regret taking a particular action?
In "The Road Not Taken," the poet Robert Frost explores the topic of
choices. Two roads stretch out in front of him, and he must decide which
path to take. Think about the choices that Tony and Joel make in On My
Honor.
After you have read Frost's poem and viewed the advertisements and
television commercial, write a poem about the choices that Joel and Tony
make throughout the day. Frost uses the metaphor of two separate roads to
illustrate the choices he must make. Perhaps you can come up with your own
metaphor for the choices that we make in life.
A PowerPoint presentation that illustrates each scene from the poem, as well
as a link to Robert Frost reading the poem, are available under the "Media"
tab.
