Further Thinking
3.Let’s enjoy the poem The Road Not Taken:what emotion or feeling do you think the poet wanted to convey P94
The poem is written by the American poet,Robert Frost (1874-1963). He uses the image of a split path in a wood to talk about choices in life. Frost wrote the poem after a trait of his friend and fellow poet, Edward Thomas.When they walked together,Thomas would express regret about the path they hadn’t taken , and what they may have missed. He regretted what may have been a “better”path, but Frost mocked him for it and wrote the poem as somewhat of a joke. Despite this funny story,the poem has a deeper meaning. As Frost once said,“I’m never more serious than when joking .”

The first few days saw me buying the necessities for Rick. With everything needed ready for Rick, he began to settle in his new home, which he seemed to be content with. It seemed strange that he had a natural bond with me. Whenever I was doing something outside, he would definitely accompany me. I spent many happy hours with Rick, and we became inseparable. Knowing that dogs like to take a walk in the open, I began to take him out for a walk on a daily basis, which had become a routine for the two of us.
Apart from our routine walk in the open, I began to socialize as well. With Rick keeping me company, gone were the days when I felt loncly, and I became more outgoing, smiling a lot more than I uscd to. I began to attend som social get-togethers with Rick, who enjoyed high popularity among my friends. Looking back on the days with Rick, I can't help wondering what a good gift that particular lady brought me on that rainy night.
