📖 Discussion Questions — Link Back to Frost
1Frost says both paths "had worn them really about the same." Were the paths in our adventure truly different — or did they lead to similar lessons?
2The speaker says he "shall be telling this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence." Is the sigh happy, sad, or something more complicated? What kind of sigh did your adventure give you?
3The famous final line: "And that has made all the difference." Do you think it really did? Or is it a story the speaker is telling himself?
4Which character — Gerald, Kevin, Brenda, Margaret, the Wizard — best represents the idea of the "road not taken"? Why?
5Have you ever made a choice and then later convinced yourself it was the right one — even if you're not sure? That's exactly what Frost's poem might be about.
6The poem was written in 1916. Does the idea of standing at a fork and overthinking it feel modern? What would Frost have made of the phone in the forest?
