Birches By Robert Frost

What the heck does it mean? Man walking through the woods and sees trees with ice Imagines little kid swinging on the branches Makes him want to escape and swing on the trees

Themes Live life on edge because life is short. Things never stay the same Life is full of risks Its up to you if you want to live or not

Structure Blank verse Iambic pentameter Doesn’t follow any regular style Is awkward in style

Symbolism Boy- is just imaginary and a younger version of himself Tree- is a symbol of life Snow- hard times in life

Tone Negative Melencholy Sad Yet light

Diction The poem first starts off negative Ice storms Winter Broke Down Pains Fallen Dragged Straighter Sunny Truth Summer Conquer Love Heaven

Words to know!!! Brim- the edge or over flow Subdued- is to conquer or to bring under control Crazes- drive insane Enamel- a coating on metal Weary- tired and exhausted Bracken- a wide spread weedy fern

Line 3: The speaker imagines a boy has bent some birches out of shape. Lines 23-27: The imaginary boy lives in a "pastoral" world, meaning that he is closely tied with animals and spends most of his time happily playing in nature. Lines 28-32: The boy is also a metaphor for the rugged, American individual. He has struck out into the land that is his by birthright and conquered anything there was to conquer. This individual often stands as a metonymy for America's Manifest Destiny towards the continent (and world). Lines 33-40: The boy learns moderation and sensitivity towards his natural environment. His mastery of nature does not create a large "footprint."

Ain’t nobody got time for that!
