I scrolled and scrolled through all of the poems, clicking almost every other one to read. None, stuck with me and None I connected with. I was staring at the screen for almost an hour and still.. nothing. I decided to give up that night, and try again the next day. But, this day was the day that the group poems were being read in the class. When the group read the poem, "The Road Not Taken", everything seemed to connect to me instantly. I connected with the poem and I knew that it was the poem that I'd wanted to recite for the competition. Robert Frost is a very famous author, which is kind of odd for me to do considering I like things out of the ordinary and things that people haven't ever heard of before.
Robert Frost was writing down his thoughts about having to make a very difficult decision in his life and no knowing which to chose. I know that I can't relate to this exactly, but there have been times when I've had to make a hard decision; just not one that was life changing. Taking his time is something that he did a lot of. Studying which choice to pick because he know he couldn't chose both, which I can relate to with many different reasons. I'm going to use my voice to show when things are good and when things aren't. I'm going to try my best to show that there're two different path right in the room I'm standing in while still reciting my poem.
