In “Birches,” Robert Frost celebrates imagination as a way to escape life’s difficulties and reconnect with innocence. The speaker wishes to “get away from earth awhile” but also understands that he must eventually return to reality. Think about the role of imagination in your own life. How does imagination help you cope with challenges, boredom, or stress?

 

    I use my imagination to get out of boredom. When I have nothing to do I will listen to a song and imagine it being performed, or a music video to it that never exists, and so much more. I'd play back the song multiple times, imagining new moments that play out in my head. Sometimes I make stories in my head to go along with the song, or put the song in an already made story, just with new events happening.


We read the story "Birches" by Robert Frost.


I learned how to return back to my childhood.

We read two poems by Robert Frost. I learned about how good things come and go.

Later on that night my friend got badly hurt, and had to go back home, and miss a day of school. By not going I was able to avoid getting hurt like my friend.
