Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

 Prompt Response:

A time when something in my life changed very quickly was when my dog Poppy went missing and died. Poppy was very old but was relatively healthy and I had not expected her to die quite as suddenly as she did because most dogs die of old age. Unfortunately, Poppy ran off and was eventually found dead in a pond. Poppy's death was very unexpected and sad and definitely changed my life.

Summary:

Today we worked on analyzing poems by Robert Frost including Nothing Gold Can Stay and The Road Not Taken.

Reflection:

I learned how life gives you decisions and sometimes the path less traveled can be better than the more popular one.

Prompt Response: A time I realized I had to look out for myself in a silly or harmless situation was last semester when I was under a lot of stress and I almost forgot to turn something in that I had already done days ago and I turned it in at the last minute at night and I was really grateful because I know that if I had gotten a late grade I would have been mad because I actually did the work. Summary: Today we finished up reading our story and finished the writable questions. Reflection: I learned about the symbolism in the story "the life you save may be your own".
