The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, l

ong I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I––
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. What is a theme of “The Road Not Taken”? How does the writer develop the theme? Write at least two paragraphs in which you trace the development of the theme of the poem and analyze how specific details shape the theme. Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be two or three complete paragraphs.

<span>The theme of "The Road Not Taken" deals with choice. The speaker is standing in a wood trying to figure out which road to take. He eventually takes the one "less travelled by," and speaks highly of his decision: "that has made all the difference." As the poem progresses we find that there is no right or wrong choice in the speaker's mind. the paths are "as just as fair" as one another. Also, both "equally" are leaf covered. So it is not that he chose the right road, but that he "took" the road. Either road would've done just fine.</span>

<h3>What is a theme of “The Road Not Taken”?</h3>
  • The theme deals about making the right decision, about what path to follow, whether the path that walks everybody or the path in which one has a road to make. It could also be taken as if to follow the same path would bring routine and monotony because one knows how and where that path would end. Following the same idea, to take a different path, the path less taken, would bring diversity to one’s life and therefore affect positively the rest of your life. “Yet knowing how way leads on to way”, yet knowing how following the path is going to end, yet knowing following that path would take that person to the same actions and therefore to the same end.  
<h3>How does the writer develop the theme?  </h3>
  • He develops the theme by admitting that the first path is going to take him or her to the same end and doubting if to take it. “I doubted if I should ever come back” he doubts if he or she should ever take the same path again, he doubts what he or she has learned so far from his life or other’s lives, that person denies those experiences. Those experiences that would “cut and paste” his or her idea of life.

How is culture transmitted from one generation to another?
LenKa [72]
<span>Parents and family have initial responsibility for cultural transmission, but education theorists have applied the concept to the classroom where a teacher conveys a common body of knowledge and cultural norms to students, either formally or informally. Some critics such as E. D. Hirsh argue that a core knowledge base is being superceded by multiculturalism. Some educational theorists say that cultural transmission goes beyond conveying facts and the focus of education is to prepare its students to adapt to the constantly changing culture and its demands.</span>

Please I really need help can someone write a story about dystopian with 7 characters in it please thank you.

The meeting ended in a flurry of shuffling papers, and scraping chairs moving against the hard tile floor, just outside the government building was an aggressive and violent rebellion against the nation and it was just for the right reason. The citizens now notice the state of nature is much better than living in a dollhouse of people who earn that power through malicious events, being convinced that it was the better option. 
''Don't read into it..'' The mother said to her child, she eyed the hostile event and barricaded her home to keep themselves safe.

It was a beginning of living in a resistance that wanted a world for themselves, to fight once again from what they were... developed from.
Vanessa stared, in utter shock of buildings falling from the current war going on in her town, glancing outside and tapping her nails in some rhythm. 

Inspecting her people, she picked up the pistol ready to defend herself.

''Neill? where are you?'' Vanessa asked, looking for her little sister, concern found in her tone.
''You know, you shouldn't leave children alone in a sudden purge..'' grinning winningly the man did, he noted that she cared for the little girl.
''Don't even touch her.'' The Vanessa kept herself calm from shooting the man right on the side of his chest, wanting to kill him painfully and slowly.
''Don't you know how much people hate change? but this change seems quite nice in my view..'' He responded to her, not minding her little threat.



''You know my people.'' He showed a group of men near the corners, shadows lighten their faces as she glared at them, looking at their body movements to see if they had any weapons on.

''What do you want?!'' She hissed at him, feeling threatened by the sudden group.

''You know exactly what we need, sweetie.'' He smirked wickedly.
