1. "it was grassy and wanted wear". This type of figurative language is personification. Robert Frost used this figurative language to describe the road in a more human like nature. another figurative phrase is yellow wood. Robert Frost chose this two words to make the reader think about a road that was yellow in color and made out of wood. a third figurative phrase is "Sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler" where Robert frost says he cannot travel down two roads because he is only one person and cannot split into two to try each lane.
2. I like this poem because it shows that in life we must always make hard decisions where we do not know which choice, or which "road" to take. It also tells us that we should just our path wisely so that we will not regret our choice. Even if we chose wrongly, we will know we tried our best.

My Favourite Poem

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept 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.
