<view this essay>.... no regret towards the choice that he has made.
The first theme to be considered is that of Frost’s analogy of one’s life being put onto some sort of timeline and he has used roads to illustrate the idea of many possibilities. The use of nature in the same line “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood” gives an almost organic-like appeal.

News Of A Kidnapping
<view this essay>.... a nationwide manhunt for Pablo Escobar, the ruthless and elusive head of the Medellin cartel.

these natural events in the plot to prove they are not the cause of the
