Count That Day Lost – Bridging Text and Context

The information about the writer of the poem Count That Day Lost, George Eliot, helped me better understand the meaning of the poem, what the poet intended and why he wrote those things in the poem.

For example, the poem talks about what is a well spent day and according to  the poem that day is  one in which you did a nice and unselfish thing for another. In the information I found that the poet was always concerned about the right way people were supposed to behave and what they should do. And because of that I understand why the poet wrote such a poem about helping other people.

More ever, the information made me rethink, that the meaning of the poem maybe that the rich people should help the poor ones, because the information mentions that the writer lived in a time when there were huge gaps between the rich people and the poor people and that the writer used to criticize the rich people.

In conclusion, the information about the poet can explain the way the poet writes about that subject, and it can make you rethink about the meaning of the poem. But we definitely need farther information to fully understanding a poem . 

Excellent!

road not taken

Reflection

1.  I enjoyed reading the poem because the dilemma of which path to take remembered me my own dilemma in which I had to choose between going to "Nahshon" or science class.

2.  I found the poem interesting and memorable on the fact that everyone can connect to the problem of the speaker. Strong enough connections to make you feel that the speaker’s problem is your own problem.

road not taken analysis and interpretation

1.The dilemma the speaker faced with is which road to choose from the two roads in front of him which was almost the same. His reaction was to stop and think.

2. The speaker stopped and looked on both roads as far as he could. After a while, he chose the grassier road that less people passed on.

3. The speaker seems upset knowing that he probably will never have the chance to travel in the other way, wondering what he missed out there.

4. Which Way

The speaker of the poem "The Road Not Taken", chose to travel in the road that was grassier and less traveled by.

I would choose the same path as the speaker. Because that's path looks more exciting than the other one based on the fact that less people chose that road and I am interested to know why. 

More ever, I want to be unique and to choose not like everybody else, and take my own unique way.

In conclusion I would have chosen the same path as the speaker and in my point of view it’s the best and interesting choice.

After graduation army I got a chance to study in Oxford University, which is in England. I always wanted to visit England but my parents don’t want me to leave, and they even offered to buy me a new car if ill stay.

 

I want to go to England because it’s a great place for young students like me, and Oxford university is one of the best universities in the world. Studying there will ensure me a decent job.

 

On the other hand I lived in Israel my entire life so it will be hard to leave my home, parents, family, friends, and familiar places. Also my parents will be disappointed of me for banding them.

In conclusion I think I will choose to leave Israel and to study in Oxford University. After all opportunity of a lifetime.

Road Not Taken

TEST:  ROAD NOT TAKEN

                                         Road  Not Taken

5. In Robert’s biographer wrote that frost was: “A loner who liked company; a poet of isolation who sought mass audience; a rebel who sought to fit in”this information about Robert helps us understand his character and as a result we can understand his choices in the poem.

For example, the information tales us that Robert was a rebel with an unusual perspective. Rebels have unique choices that most of the people won’t do the same as them. And it explains why in the poem Robert chose the road less people went on.

 More ever the information tales us that Robert was also a loner which explains us why he was all alone by himself in the poem.

In conclusion, the best way to fully understanding a poem is not only by the information given in the text. We need background information about the writer, the age the poem was witan in and the events happened then. Only then we can understand the events, characters, and choices made in the poem.  

1. One way the tow roads are similar is that both of them enter to a yellow wood. And one different is that one of the roads is grassier mining that more people traveled there.

2. The speaker’s dilemma is which road to chose from the tow in front of him. While both of them are almost the same, and that he got no way to know which road is better to take.

3. In my opinion the poet’s message is that in life you’ll face with choices and dilemmas, without a way to know what is the best choice, and without a second chance to take the other way.

4. I think that the speaker would take the other way if he could go back in time. Because it seems that the speaker wonders what he missed on the other road and that he regrets his choice. We can understand it from the name of the poem that does not mansion the road he took. The poet named the poem about the one he did not take “road not taken”.
 More ever his sigh in the poem seems to me as a sigh of regret and disappointment about his choice.
