Birches

  Today, we read and analyzed the poem Birches, by Robert Frost. Birch trees do not break when bent over, instead they remain in their bent position. In the poem it was said that birches had been bent by ice storms ,but Robert liked to to think that boys had been swinging on the trees like he used to as a child. Seeing those trees seemed to comfort him and bring him to a happy place or an escape.Afterwards, we had read a few more poems . For homework we had to write a poem using imergy based on an item that we found around the house.
