Rationalization

Rationalization Order Description Consider Robert 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? Please use assigned text : N. Baym, W. Franklin, P. Gura, J. Klinkowitz, A. Krupat, R. Levine, . . . P. Wallace (Eds.)
