The Road Not Taken
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.
(Robert Frost: 1915) |

About the Author
Susan
Eloise Hinton was born on July 22, 1948 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A
self-confessed tomboy, Hinton grew up wanting to be a cowboy or a
writer. She was an avid reader, but found the young-adult books she
read rather unoriginal and unrealistic. At age sixteen, aggravated with
the social climate at her high school and frustrated with the quality of
available reading materials, Hinton took pen to paper and wrote one of
the most-read and loved books for young adults: The Outsiders.
This first edition, published in 1967, was an instant success, earning
numerous awards.
Hinton wrote The Outsiders
under the pen name S.E. Hinton, after publishers expressed concern that a
woman’s name on the book would keep boys, the target audience, from
reading it. The trick worked, and The Outsiders became an
instant young-adult classic, enjoyed by boys and girls alike. |
