Improved Essays
My first experience of snow was like a snow globe, except it seemed whoever was shaking it wasn’t going to stop. Snow Globes are a model of a scene surrounded by particles of fake, white matter resembling snow, but when shaken it turns to a magnificent snowstorm. While I have many snow globes at my house collected from my childhood, this was the first one I was in. I think a lot about the countless times my dad has told me of stories of his childhood. His numerous adventures of snow days, seasonal change, and free time in the backyard. It seemed to me that my dad had an eventful childhood.

    Frost’s view on human nature is that one must return to simpler times through the imagination in order to deal with the responsibility that comes with adult life. The problem, why the birch trees bend over, and the solution, to take a moment and swing on them, evidently reveal one’s navigation from childhood to adulthood. Frost supports his argument by using metaphor to compare reality and imagination. In reality, the physical impact of the ice storm on the birch trees is the reason they’re weighed down, yet Frost makes it seem as if the harshness of everyday life is the reason the birch trees bend. As his solution, he says he likes to think that one has been swinging on them, which reveals the imagination and playfulness behind the…
