2. Imagery uses sensory details; the line describes a visual scene.
3. The poem uses first-person pronouns like "I".
4. Alliteration is repeated initial consonant sounds; the line has repeated "w" sounds.
5. Personification gives human traits to non-humans; the road is given a human-like "want".
6. The tone reflects reflective, contemplative uncertainty about choices.
7. Repetition is identical repeated phrasing in the text.
8. An extended metaphor carries a symbolic comparison through the poem; roads represent life choices.
