the only thing i mentioned about it was that the roads was a metaphor for the choice that must be made during a journey. it represented the choices, paths which the persona had to pick from.

there was alot of techniques to talk about, thats why i didnt get in detail

the roads is the metaphor of the different paths, but you could say that it also symbolises the journey of life.

It is easy to mix up symbols and metaphors, sometimes you can even get away with interchanging them. In the road not taken, the fork in the road is a symbol for the choice he has to make, with the extended metaphor for life blah blah being conveyed through techniques used to portray the setting and dsubject matter.

Yes! I NEED HELP TOO! SOMEONE PLEASE!!

My English teacher is an idiot. I'm serious. He said that it's a physical journey and that the poet was famous for walking. I can't write that in the HSC. He's a joke.
