The Road Contemplated
.... to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I
could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any
choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road

better claim." What made it hav .....

shows the point in which one will choose because there is only one path in which one may travel. It is most difficult to make a decision on each appealing path because everyone will always seem to question “what could I or could I not miss out on?” The

The Sacred Pipe
.... was kind of getting a little old, but never the less I gave this book a chance and it turned out to be a good gamble. That was becuase this book was different in the sense that it got way more in-depth with the beliefs and different legends of the native Americans than all other books that I have read. That provided a new outlook and different feel which helped keep my attention.
What I also found interesting was the similarity of the religious beliefs that these particular native Americans had to S .....

The Scarlet Letter 2
