Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

 

    Once I went on a large camping trip with a bunch of people, and one night we decided to look up at the stars, and that was the first time I saw the Milky Way, the real Milky Way. The sky was so clear, and there were no lights around us, just pitch black, a purple, blue, and starry sky. I could see the massive line in the sky where many stars came to gather, it almost felt like we were an egg, with a giant crack at the top. It changed my perspective on lights in our society, the sky we got robbed of. I could have gone my whole life by only seeing a few stars each night. The sky woke me, I could see why in the past people built religion just on the stars. I only hope to see it again.


We read to Robert Frost poems.


I learned the meaning of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
