This is what ROBERT FROST is reduced to in the 12th grade, October 25 2008

THIS is the type of BULLSHIT assignments that I had to do in my senior English Lit class. In order to graduate early, I had to go from AP classes to "regular" education.  I remember I specifically dumbed down my answer because my teacher constantly yelled at me for my "expansive analysis." I have to say that this class made me ashamed of the K-12 education system in California.

Robert Frost's Poem, The Road Not Taken, is about the hesitation one man feels when choosing one path over the other. In a literal sense, Frost discusses the wariness one feels when they come to a fork in the road and must their way. It may also be perceived as a poem about life choices. Every decision a person makes may change the course of their life. In this poem, Frost expresses that pondering of whether or not his choice was right.
