i m coming to year 12 and just started this poem yesterday. having lots of questions below.....
1. how could we know if the traveler had started his journey?
p.s. when i read some other threads, most of them suggest that the traveler HAVENT started to continue the path he'd chosen while some say HAD. unfortunately my teacher didnt tell us anything about this question...>< can you tell you wat your teathers say and why please.``
2. how could we know the first path (the one benting in the undergrowth) had been stepped by lots of people?
p.s. the similar reason as q1. i can only understand there is less man taking the second path (the one grassy and wanted wear) but i really really cannot get the evidences proving the less taken of the first path.
3. stanza 2, line 2:
'and having perhaps the better claim'
what dose the bold indicate? is that means the seond path is easier to take than the first one?
3. [related to q3]why did the traveler chose the seond path?
p.s. is it because the second path is seemed to be a little bit easier when comparing with the first one, although it is actually hard too? or just because the traveler 'want to make some special'? or anything else....?
4. stanza 4, line 1&2:
'i shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence'
could you change them in simpler words for me? thx!
5. what is the main idea of the poem?
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
I AM PROSTRATING MYSELF BEFORE ALL OF YOU GUYS....
