Slav-nsk [51]
<span>The best theme statement about consequences based on Robert Frost’s poem "The Road Not Taken” is Every choice in life brings with it a wholly different set of consequences. In short, in every decision in life, there is an equivalent effect or consequences behind it. So you cannot say that what you have been experiencing right now is because of fate, it is in face the consequence of your decision.

Why is Mallam Sile's tea shop such a popular place? Cite two details to support your answer.
liberstina [14]
Every tea shop has its own share of history just like Mallam Sile's tea shop. There are several reasons why it became so popular and one of them is that the shop offers all kinds of beverages. To name some, they have the cocoa drink, regular black tea, Japanese green tea and instant coffee. Furthermore, it's food taste is really amazing. Many customers thank the owners for liberating them from their customary tea shack. Another one would be the wide variety of food selections they serve aside from their excellent tea. For instance, they have meat pies, custard, Tom Brown, important porridge, as well as brown bread, which is not offered by other shops in the neighborhood.
