Novel Synthesis- Slumdog Millionaire vs The Road Not Taken

The two pieces of literature "The Road Not Taken" and the novel "Slumdog Millionaire" have many similarities. "The Road Not Taken" is talking about someone who has two paths on which they could take. They decide on "the one less traveled by" and become greater for the experience. This relates to "Slumdog Millionaire" because the main character Ram Mohammed Thomas also finds himself at crossroads and has to decide on which paths to take. For example Ram has been adopted by a man named Maman who handicaps his orphans before sending them out in public to beg. Once Ram finds out about this he is faced with the difficult decision of staying their to beg or run away even though he has no where to go. Some of it was luck while some of it was fate but the choices Ram had made led him to become a Millionaire. Another example is when Ram became aware of an injustice and was faced with a difficult decision to either act on it or to just let it be. You could argue that it was luck that the 12 skill testing questions that were asked had to do with Rams past experiences, but you could also state that it was fate and he was meant to win that game show. Either way both characters in "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Road Not Taken" made some difficult decisions "And that has made all the difference."
