...about his choice later. In the first stanza of the poem the person walks in the woods and comes to the place where two roads go to two different sides. The traveler is full of doubts since he does not want to miss the opportunity and wants to choose the right road. He spends time looking for both roads and thinking about the right choice. The road in this poem becomes a symbol of life, change and transformation. That is the reason the choice becomes so important for the traveler. He thinks not only about the right way to choose in the forest but also about the right path in life. That is the reason we can feel the switch of the mood by the end of the poem. When the traveler realizes that he will not be able to take another road, left by in the past, he regrets it as lost opportunity. He is disappointed because of the opportunity he missed. He states: “I kept the first for another day!” and we can hear regret in his tone. Now he realizes that his choice was final and looking at the road he did not choose, he “doubted if I should ever come back”. By the end of his journey the traveler realizes that each decision we take influences all our further life and this decision cannot be changed. Decisions we take cannot be cancelled and each moment of our life we make choices, which determine our life. By the end of the poem the traveler realizes this truth and that is the reason we can hear a shade of regret in his worlds. We can see that he regrets about the lost opportunity. “I took the...

...where he attains an adventure. This adventure leads him in many directions in and away from the town. Each stage of his planned adventure must be followed to some script that he does not have in his possession nor can he control. Each time he tries to move ahead with his own agenda, he is stopped by whatever or whoever is writing the adventure script, whether it be an empty bar room with no inhabitants or an endless maze through the town that always seems to lead to one location. When our traveler completes his assigned adventure, the town releases him with a narrow memory of what has happened and drops him back in the desert on a travel toward the same town in the distance that he seems to think has been part of his past, but is never sure. It seems to be that our traveler’s life is set to be and endless replay of the same time frame in which his adventures change with the “Luck of the Draw”. In the initial stages of the story, we find out a little of what predicament our traveler has gotten himself into. As he passes along the desert he recalls that he doesn’t remember much of his past or that it seems to all run together, “maybe he was chasing someone or something, or was being chased… an overwhelming feeling of danger, or else of despair… he left that place to, to go chase someone, or to be...

...today use cars and airplanes when traveling long distances. However, choosing which mode of transport is best for a traveler generally relies on a few factors – price, comfort, safety, time and potential delays. So, what is the best way to travel long distances? Price is a key component in deciding how to make it from one place to another, because traveling any distance these days comes at some sort of cost. At one time, the car was the least expensive way to travel, because most people owned or had access to a car and gas prices were relatively affordable. However, even though newer cars are getting better gas mileage as technology progresses, the lack of continuity in gas pricing nationwide makes it nearly impossible to accurately gauge how much gas would cost. Additionally, it is regularly suggested that a car have a full maintenance check before long distance travel. At the very least cars should have their fluid levels, brakes, and tires inspected and replaced, if needed. Some travelers do not want the extra “wear and tear” on their personal vehicles, electing to rent a car instead, but the traveler now pays for the use of the vehicle, taxes, miscellaneous fees, overpriced insurance and the same price for gas they would have to pay for while using their own vehicle. Traveling by airplane seems far less complicated now, right? When traveling by airplane, travelers still need to be diligent and fiscally responsible. When using an airline company website or a discount travel website...

...they had to fight competitors in the court system for nearly three and a half years. Southwest did not make its maiden voyage until 1971 – from a napkin to the airways with their runway in the Court system. When Texas Aeronautics Commission authorized Southwest to fly, their competitors grounded them within the Court system with continuous litigation for three and a half years. The litigation went as high as the Supreme Court. Finally, on June 18, 1971, Rollin King and Herb Kelleher started an airline service with one simple notion: "If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline." They were right about that. Southwest Airline is now a major airline, in fact, the fourth largest airliner in the United States. 1) What benefits do airline customers seek when they buy air travel tickets? They have always had the lowest price in any market they serve. Because of the cost structure that was developed, Southwest did the opposite of what every other airline was doing. They don’t offer assigned seats or meals. They only fly one type of airplane, the Boeing 737. This gave Southwest a distinct cost advantage. Even when their competitors lowered their prices, they still could not make the same profit as Southwest. Some benefits that the customers get are when the buy tickets their getting low-ticket prices, friendly...

...there were 3 other groups of travelers that had joined, the New Zealanders, the Swiss, and the Japanese. During their travels the mountaineers encountered an Indian holy man, a Sadhu, who was near death, half naked, barefoot, and suffering from exhaustion and hypothermia. They had found the man at 15,500 ft. while attempting to reach their summit point at 18,000 ft. Here is where the ethical dilemma rears its head. The travelers were now faced with heavy questions: do they help the Sadhu ultimately diverging them from their goal to reach the summit, or do they keep hiking on and leave the Sadhu to possibly die? Another ethical dilemma is seen at the end of the parable when McCoy begins to question if he should have done more? (The Parable of the Sadhu, 1997) The ethical frameworks that can be seen at the core of Stephen’s and McCoy’s conflicting responses to the problem of the Sadhu are that Stephen took a deontological approach while McCoy seems to have taken the a utilitarian approach. Stephen was quicker in thinking and making his decisions based on his ethical framework. By taking the deontological approach, Stephen was focused on duty. The deontological approach allows a person to act based on how they would want to be treated. The golden rule comes into play; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Trevino & Nelson, 2014, p. 43). A deontological approach argues that people are humans with rights and dignity.

...Sarah K. McAfee May 8, 2008 English 151-15 The poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, tells a quick story about a lone traveler who arrives at the end of a path leading to a fork road. Confused about which road to take, the traveler speaks figuratively about how each path looks and in the end decides to take the path he calls “less traveled by” (line 19). Each person in life comes across crossroads where he or she has to choose which path leads to a better future. The reader can take what Frost wrote and interpret that this poem represents that decision that we eventually have to make. One of the major themes of this poem is “life’s decisions” because the author creates a scenario where people have to make a decision of which road to take in life. The poem’s theme is “life’s decisions” because in the poem the traveler arrives at a fork in the road and has to choose the path to take to get to his destination. In life, we also have to make that decision. This could be Frost’s interpretation of someone who is approaching this kind of scenario . The first stanza of the poem states: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth” –Robert Frost This stanza is describing the thinking process of the person who has to make his or her decision on which path to take. The person is trying to figure out how far each path will go but...

...or spirit, will often reflect back on the path or road one has choose to contemplate, with never truly knowing if it we did choose the right or wrong direction. I will compare and contrast the literary works of “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost and “I Used to Live Here Once”, by Jean Rhys. The two literary works attention is on the journey that an individual has decided to take through life. One of the narratives focuses on symbolizing choice, while the other is death, but in the same way are similar, because life itself is a journey that can lead into a life or death situation. “A symbol is an object, person, or action that conveys two meaning: its own literal meaning and something it stands for as well,” (Clugston, 2010). “The Road Not Taken” uses symbolism by starting with “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,” (Frost, 1916). Two roads diverged is symbolizing the looking back, (a reflection point one has on life altering choices) on life’s lessons, (events) that have impacted one’s journey, while out of curiosity wondering where the other road may have lead. The yellow wood helps the reader to imagine fall leaves bedding on the woods floor, also enforcing the traveler has aged and is looking back in life. Frost uses symbolism with metaphors throughout the lines of his poem. This poem ends with showing us that a traveler is standing back reflecting on the split roads, or...
