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?

 Prompt: Imagination is the best way for me to cope with boredom. When I am bored I am typically in a situation where I do not have much around me to occupy myself with. This is what makes imagination so useful. It allows me to entertain myself by creating stories or different realities in my head.

Summary: Today we read "Birches" by Robert Frost and started out presentations about it.

Reflection: I felt that the message that you can always restart in life was very meaningful.
