Answer:

Indecision and the desire for to be unique

Explanation:

Indecision

In reality, the persona of the poem has a choice to make between two paths in the woods.  Both have been worn and he would like to take both but he can only walk one.  Therefore, he decided to take the one that was less traveled.  Metaphorically, though, the narrator has to choose between two options, one will be easy to take and will make his life easier. However, the other one, which has been chosen less often, will perhaps be the better moral choice.  This poem could be related to the idea of "staying on the straight and narrow".  While sometimes it may be easier to take a path in life that is smoother, the narrator says that the path that is less traveled is the better one.  Taking that path made a difference in his life.

The desire for to be unique

The speaker claims to have chosen the "road less traveled," but at the outset of the poem, he acknowledges that both paths are "worn about the same." This suggests that the speaker's choice wasn't as brave or unique as he wants others to believe, calling into question whether it is our actual choices or the way in which we think about them that truly affects our lives.

PART A: How does the poet’s description of the weed contribute to the meaning of the poem?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The answer of part A is letter A.

The answer of part B is letter B.

Explanation:

Because this poem is about the individuality and the freedom that comes with retaining one's own personal identity.  Julio Noboa  works with a metaphor, to imagine himself as a weed. And the weed will never be like the flowers, the weed, like himself, will be ugly, but able to reach places that the flowers would never be.

He claims that those who are like flowers are circumscribed by the rules of a constraining society. In the other hand, those, like himself, who are like weed, might be seen as ugly and smelly, however, they are singular individuals and they retain their own particularities and individual freedoms. They are society values free people. Living and making their own rules.

Prompt: Imagine a world where electricity suddenly stopped working. What would life look like after one day? What would it look
laila [671]
If electricity stopped working it would scare the population and they wouldn’t know what to do but over time for example a year after, the population most likely would’ve adapted to this obstacle or learned how to overcome it bringing new ideas and new solutions to problems that needed electricity
