Explanation: In both "The Road Not Taken" and "Song of the Open Road", the "road" is a symbol of <em><u>one's path in life</u></em>. In "Song of the Open Road", by Walt Whitman, the narrator says that he is free and healthy and needs no good fortune because he can go where he pleases. He is in charge of his life. In "The Road Not Taken", by Robert Frost, each road represent a different path in life. The narrator took the less traveled one, and for him, this made all the difference.
