Gridlock- The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Titleof poem means	Literally means....a road not taken before. Probably a road that has leaves and branches all on it, no foot prints or anything
Paraphraseparts of the Poem	"And sorry I could not travel both, And be one traveler, long I stood" Means that the traveler wishes he could take both paths but he is only one person so he has to choose which one he wants to take.
Connotationof some of the words – changing literal meaning to implied or associated values
AttitudeWhat is the attitude of the author, characters or yourself?	The character, the traveler, seems confused as well as adventurous. I also felt confused at first but then optomistic. The whole decision making issue is confusing to people. It's hard to make decisions.
ShiftAt first we think or feel one way – then there is a shift: identify the shifts and explain them	"And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked 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." There's the shift...in the beginning the traveler describes how the one of the paths looks "safe" and how one looks "less traveled" making it seem like he would obviously take the "safe" one. BUT! He decides to take it another day and follow the one "less traveled". He took a risk and it "made all the difference."
Title revisitedAny new insights on meaning or significance of title?	The title basically describes taking risks. Taking a road for instance that you have never traveled. Be adventurous!
Theme Sometimes it's nice to make risky decisions and be adventurous. You never know where they might lead.
