Slum Dogg Conection!

The poem the road not taken by Robert frost connects to the Slumdogg Millionaire because both pieces are about taking the road ‘less traveled by ‘.  Robert frosts poem is all about making choices and about making good choices for your self, and not doing what everyone else is doing. The poem talks about how hard life can be and struggles come and go, and he reflects on his life to ‘And that has made all the difference’. Slumdogg Millionaire Ram Mohammed was poor orphan who went through life struggles and his courage to push on and continue and fight helped him in the long run. He had a rough childhood and had nothing. An example in the book of how rough he had is the part in the book when they get picked up by this family to beg and beg for money for this Gangster. Ram Mohammed didn’t know why he had to do this but if he didn’t have enough money he would be punished which could mean losing a limb. He has been all over India trying and trying to find a place to stay and be safe and never give up. Others would give up or either end there life and or just stop caring like, Robert Frost, Ram Mohammed took the tough road and things became different for him.

 

The road not taken talks about doubt as Robert Frost says he ’doubted if I should ever come back.’ He didn’t know where that tough road would end up taking him as Ram moved and moved from home to home his best friend like his little sibling Salim. Always had high hopes while Ram wondered what his next adventure would be like, he says “I often visualize the scene and what will happen next’. Robert Frost’s poem and the book both talk from experience both texts reflect on the issue by talking about how hard it’s going to be. They also prove that it will be beneficial.   Robert Frost says he ‘looked down one as far as I could’ as in one road he could have taken, Ram Mohammed was an orphan he always wondered what his life would be like if he had parents. It may have been different and better but through the struggles both people had and the experiences gained they opened doors for them in the end.  It’s all about choices in both texts if Robert didn’t take the road less taken it have made all the difference and made him the person he is today. If Ram Mohammed didn’t go through the struggles fight though everything he wouldn’t have won the billion in the end.

 

Robert Frost didn’t know what would happen to him ‘Yet knowing how way leads on to way’ it all came to him like faith which is different from choice. If these people didn’t believe in having something for them in the end it wouldn’t have come. Robert believed that if took the road less taken that things would work out for the better. Ram believed if he kept on fighting through the struggles and living positive life things would work out. As Robert ended having a good life with struggles that “made all the difference” and Ram became a billionaire with struggles “that made all the difference”
