Analysis of The Path

“The Path” is about making decisions in your life and learning how to live it. It talks about the opportunities that you could have had if you went with one of the decision besides the other one. For every decision we make, there always an effect with the choices we make. The decision we make in life can either affect us in a good way or bad way. We just don't know what the effect will be till we make the decision. Then after we make the decisions, we try to live with the decision we make. We can be happy or sad about with the decision we make. That's what the poem is all about choosing one thing over the other and being able to live with that. I wouldn't change anything about this poem because I thought it was well done. I thought the mood of this poem was sad. The literary device ‘mood’ refers to a definitive stance the author adopts in shaping a specific emotional perspective towards the subject of the literary work.
