The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

2)I chose this poem because when I read it, I felt a connection. I think the point of taking your own path is important as following others all the time doesn't make you who you really are.
3)The title "The Road Not Taken" is very easily seen in the ideas of the poem. Robert Frost literally travels one road instead of another because he sees the oppotunity in not following "most people."
4)"Because it was grassy and wanted wear" Frost uses imagery here to show that this path has been wanted less be previous travelers and we can tell because the vegitation is much more full then the other path that has been cleared by walking people.
5)I find the tone of this poem to be a kind of personal motivator. It starts as a dilema and shows how making the personal choice- opposed to the popular choice- makes "all the difference." It gives the idea that a lot of positives have come from making the individual choice.

IM Football

I have an IM football game this week and i am really looking forward to it. Being on the "Harlem Hustlers" We have need to win; being that this team is a legacy that's been passed down we have one job, win the tournament. It is so much fun and our team is dominant. At the end of the season playoffs decide the winner, after the winner is decided the teachers put together a dream team to play us. I'm looking forward to playing teachers that I've had in the past because it will be fun to get some payback.

Persnoal narrative titles

My current title is "dreams to dreams." I am very satisfied with my current title because it goes deep into the mening of my paper. The title came to me when I was doing pre-writing for my essay and it was love at first site.

Cabin continued, hope in future

Earlier I blogged all about my cabin. I told how i could have fun there any time, winter or summer. And I fish in both seasons as well. I found an opportunity to get up to my cabin and explore fishing on a whole new level. For school there is may term, an opportunity for students to get exempt from school to do something they enjoy or would like to try. Because you would be exempt from school there must be an education piece in whatever you do, and or would benefit the public. I have an idea of studying fishing on a scientific level and recording how weather and mother nature effects the fishing. I'm hopping this will work out and i will be able to go fish and learn about fishing in the paradise of my cabin!

Personal Narrative Paragraph

The faces around the locker room would have told you how much that game meant. One of my good friends who was a senior made his way over to my spot-not even trying to hold his tears-gave me a hug and told me the best thing i could do was win it the next year when i would be a senior.
I feel like the paragraph lacks emotion because of my word choice. This paragraph isn't supposed to give you a full idea of the story but rather set a tone.
Do you think I need to expand more on in order to create emotion?

Cabin times, summer, winter, fishing, family and friends.
The cabin is a place where family and friends can get together to enjoy every aspect of life. I find the summer most enjoyable at the cabin. I am able to bring friends and we can do anything. Whether its fishing, swimming, jet-skiing, or just cookin over the fire; there's never any boring down time. Every year i look forward to the new summer cabin season because i am positive the summer will have something new to offer. We caught some tuna this past summer. During the winter a cabin trip is more scarce. We only go up a few times during the winter, usually to check up on the place and do some ice fishing. Last winter we caught dinner. When it comes down to it the cabin is never a let down. It will remain in the family forever, and i look forward to every trip that remains.
