Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we analyzed a poem. The poem was called Birches by Robert Frost. The lesson criteria is to find the meaning poem, be able to find figurative language, and determine the theme. We read the poem as a class and broke it down every few stanzas. In the poem they talked about the birch tree reminding them of their childhood. They had wish they didn’t waste their life, and if they could go back they’d do it by swinging on the birch tree. As we analyze more poems in class I get better and finding the meaning.
Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class, I did a bell ringer. In the bell ringer we were asked to define a somebody, a nobody, and who am I. We learned about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was born 1830 and later died 1886 only for her poems to be released after she passed. We read her poem “I’m Nobody! Who Are You?”. Where she explains you’re an outcast for being a nobody, and broadcasted for being a somebody. It gave me more of a perspective mostly about myself. I can make a connection like how I dress for me, but also dress so I don’t get laughed at. I really like the 2 poems we analyzed together so far and can’t wait to do more.
