Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

Prompt Response: I remember a time I was at the beach. The sun was going down, and it looked really pretty. The sky had nice colors, like orange and purple. The waves came up on the sand. I heard the waves and a bird. I felt very calm and full of wonder. The big ocean made my problems seem small. It helped me see that I should stop and enjoy nature more.

In the poem, the speaker and his neighbor meet each year to repair a wall. Describe a time when you had to set or respect a boundary with a friend, family member, or classmate. How did it help or hurt your connection with that person?

Prompt Response: A classmate once relied on me too much for homework answers. They kept demanding solutions late at night. I decided to set a clear boundary. I told them I would only help explain concepts, not do the work. This first hurt our friendship. They got mad and pulled away for a bit. But it actually helped in the end. They learned to ask for help on how to solve problems instead of just asking for answers. Our friendship became better because it had more mutual respect.

Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

Prompt Response:   My grandmother got blood cancer. It was stage three. We only had six months with her. Those months felt very precious. Her strength faded fast. It was like watching something beautiful disappear. Frost's poem says "Nothing gold can stay." My grandmother's time with us was like gold. It was bright but didn't last. Her quick passing showed me how true that is. Life can change very quickly. Summary: Today in class we read and analyzed two poems of Robert Forster.

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

Prompt Response:   Last year, I took an AP class, and it was really tough at first. The words they used were complicated sentences.The writing was hard, too.
