Life hasn't been all sunshine and rainbow s for me. There has been many obstacles throughout my life. I've been in bad situations, but every time i kept moving forward and I never gave up. Just because your life gets tough, and it seems like there are no solutions you still have to stay strong, move on, and PERSEVERE!

"It Happened In Montgomery"

By: Phil W. Petrie

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: The author is a freelance writer and is a former book publishing editor. Phil W. Petrie lives in Tennessee and has written many articles for different publications.

PARAPHRASE: The bus driver slammed on the brakes and told the lady (Rosa Parks) to get out of that front seat and go to the back of the bus. But, Rosa Parks, being tired and weary that morning, refused to move when the driver growled at her, yet again. The bus driver grabbed her roughly by the arm and threw her out the bus doors. What Rosa Parks had done got around everywhere, and everyone had heard about it. She sat in the jail cell, crying tears of sadness, yet tears of happiness, too. She was proud of herself because she knew the Lord was satisfied. The tired body that decided to make the choiceshe did  that morning, ended up becoming one of the most famous choices in history. Because of the decision to not give up her seat in the front of the bus to one of the white people, Rosa Parks became one of the most famous faces in Black History. Leaving the world to begin to end segregation.

Robert Frost was born in 1874 and died 1963 at age 89. He was one of America's most popular poets in the twentieth century. Frost grew up on a farm in New Hampshire. His works were about the landscape and lifestyle he grew up in. He wrote "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" in 1922, and explained that it was his favorite poem.

Paraphrase: stanza 1: I won't get noticed by the owner of these woods because he lives far away.

stanza 2: My stede must think I'm weird for stopping in the middle of the woods in the snow at this time of year.

stanza 3: The only noise is my horse asking if this is a mistake.

stanza 4:Even though I enjoy it here, I must get going for i have a long way to go.

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was one of America's most popular twentieth-century poets. For much of his life, he lived on a farm in New Hampshire and wrote poems about farm life and the New England landscape.

Shift

I believe the poem starts to shift when the author said "But I have promises to keep". In the beginning it starts out curious but when they started to shift it became a serious tone saying it had "promises" to keep and "miles" to go before I sleep. I believe it shifted from a curious attitude to a serious attitude

Shift-

The mood changed closer towards the end of the poem. The beginning of the last stanza says

"But I have promises to keep," so there was a change in mood.

The title before i read the poem seemed like it was going to be about the beauty and gracefulness of nature and the woods. I think it also will talk about how snow makes the woods a much more  beautiful place and how peaceful it to some people. The majestic author has strong emotion in this poem and must really care about the beauty of nature.

This poem was written by Robert Bly who published more than 30 books of poetry, essays, and translations. Bly's influence in his work came from his interest in myth, story telling, and meditation.

Attitude: The attitude in this poem is very gloomy at first because it talks about how the street is deserted and how the weather is very cold. But towards the end it is very peaceful because the person in the poem feels at peace mailing a letter late at night in private that they want to wast more time (wasting time might be peaceful for the person in the poem).

Paraphrasing:

-

My life has been long and hard, unlike the easygoing families in the world,

it had difficulties and hardships that hurt me along the way,

there were parts that were made especially for my torture, but I've still been going on,

reaching towards the joy in my life, even if I go into the evil in the world,

I won't go back, I will keep moving forward, so you better too, you better not give up,

because even if you fail, you can keep on going, since not everyone

lives a life filled with leisure.
