The road is used as a metaphor for life in this poem. Can you think of another metaphor and explain why that has been used to describe life. (Encourage students to think creatively andformulate their own answers.)
A puzzle can be another metaphor for life. A puzzle requires one to constantly keep figuring out the answers . and right after one decision has been made, there are other problems awaiting solution. Similarly, life is also full of doubts and questions. When we are able to figure out solutions and make decisions accordingly, another predicament often comes up. We are constantly figuring out things, hence, life is a puzzle.
