3. Robert Frost 1874-1963
Robert Frost was born in San
Francisco, California but spent
most of his life in New England,

the United States. The area is
characterized by hills, woods,

5. Our 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.

14. choice & cosT
Every choice you make has a cost because choosing to
do one thing means giving up the opportunity to do
something else.
Faced with the same options , different people make
different choices because each person has his / her
own way of making decisions based on different
values and beliefs.
When faced with the need to make a decision we try to
think about the cost and guess the outcome.
