After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    Community is one of the most crucial aspects of the human experience. Connection with others is something that is craved by, but not attained by, all.

When humility is apparent however, these connections can be developed because the person is able to admit when they are wrong others can gather around them in comfort.…

    In Connie Ann Kirk’s book, “Reading and Interpreting the Works of Robert Frost,” she talks about his early life and the hardships he went through as a young adult, and a striving poet, as well as his life while being a poet. The Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference focused mostly on writing and the teaching of writing (Kirk 91). According to Kirk’s book, “The concept was that if students and faculty could interact informally outside the walls of the classroom they might be more inspired to create, share ideas, make new discoveries, and experiment more freely with language” (Kirk 91). This different approach to education highly interested Robert Frost. He did not like the concept of regular classes, which is what students practice today.…

    Explication Prior to writing the poem Lost in Place, I read multiple stories that comment on flaws in society, and are applicable to multiple aspects of life. I chose to incorporate lessons from Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy, Ursula Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, and Homer’s The Iliad. The lessons that I chose to use are the lessons that stick with me the most from all the readings: proximity, societal thought, and the power to change the fate of others. I knew I wanted to incorporate Bryan Stevenson’s teachings of proximity from Just Mercy.…

My teacher would let me sit down and ask someone else to read it with feelings and that way fine with me. But what I did not understand is how those cryptic words relates to me.
