After reviewing the video comment on this tendency. Rationalization. Consider Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.” A common (MIS) interpretation of the poem is that it’s about taking the nontraditional path.

However, it seems to be more about a poem about rationalizing one’s actions, as described in the video below. After reviewing the video, comment on this tendency of humans to rationalize actions. Why would this narrator tell a story where he/she clearly alters events?

Ithaca College. (2008, Feb. 29). Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”
