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 4th period American Literature class we learned about informal and formal texts. In class he gave us a passage with no context, we just read it. After we read it we all realized that there wasn’t really any theme or moral of the story. He then gave us a topic, which half of the class had already figured out midway through the passage. That was interesting to me because I didn’t get it until the prompt, which says a lot about myself. It was pretty fun breaking down the passage with the 2 different prompts. I’m glad I had a little nice time in 4th period today.
