There are many choices one must make daily to simply get through the day. Life choices, however, are more important and have an everlasting effect on the individual. They are less common but have more impact on life. The writer Robert Frost chose to use the poem "The Road Not Taken" to show how one person's decisions can change the outcome of your life. Frost used the details of choosing the route, the inability to reverse his choice, the consequences of his judgment, as well as the external factors that influenced his judgments to express to readers how life's decisions make a difference in writing a poem. is one of several written by Frost in 1916 and is commonly used in high school writing classes.

Many factors will play a role in the decisions one makes, and over time decisions will be questioned, but once that path has been taken and experienced, starting over isn't really starting over or a step back, but continues. The question will always arise: what if the other path had been taken, where would it lead? There are many influences that come into play in choosing a path: the inability to change one's mind, the consequences that follow, as well as external factors that all impact the decision...
