    FROST POETRY ANALYSIS DIRECTIONS: Complete the TP-CASTT analysis chart for your group poem. You only need one paper per group, but you are all responsible for presenting your poem to the class. You each must speak and contribute to the presentation. TP-CASTT –an acronym for title, paraphrase, connotation, attitude, shift, title (again), and theme—is designed to help you remember the concepts you can consider when examining a poem. This is not a lockstep sequential approach, but rather it is a fluid process in which you will move back and forth, among the various concepts. For example, in examining connotations of a line, you may also notice a shift, which in turn may give you an insight into theme. Title (before reading) Although titles are often keys to possible meanings of a poem, students frequently do not contemplate them either before or after reading poetry. As a first step in the analysis of a new poem, look at the title and predict what the poem may be about. Paraphrase Another aspect of a poem often neglected by students is the literal meaning—the “plot.” Frequently, real understanding of a poem must evolve from comprehension of “what’s going on in the poem.” Try to restate a poem in your own words, focusing on one syntactical unit at a time—not necessarily on one line at a time. Another possibility is to write a sentence or two for each stanza of the poem. Connotation Although this term usually refers solely to the emotional overtones of word choice, here it indicates that you should examine any and all poetic devices, focusing on how such devices contribute to the meaning, the effect, or both of a poem.

  • Birches & Mending Wall King’S Word Academy BIRCHES When I See Birches Bend to Left and Right Across the Lines of Straighter Darker Trees
    Literature Birches & Mending Wall King’s Word Academy BIRCHES When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees. I like to think some boy’s been swinging them. But swinging doesn’t bend them down to stay 5 As ice storms do. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. 10 Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells Shattering and avalanching on the snow crust- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You’d think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load. 15 And they seem not to break: though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair 20 Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter of fact about the ice storm, I should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows- 25 Some boy too far from town to learn baseball. Whose only play was what he found himself. Summer or winter, and could play alone. One by one he subdued his father’s trees By riding them down over and over again 30 Until he took the stiffness out of them And not one but hung limp, not one was left For him to conquer.

    1 Robert Frost Poems Robert Frost (1874-1963) was an American poet most associated with the characters and cadences of New England. He won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times and became the most well-known poet of the twentieth century in America. He read his poem “The Gift Outright” at the inauguration of John F.

  • Joseph Varghse Robert Frost
    ROBERT FROST (1874-1963) "I never go down the shoreline [city in King County, Washington] to New York without watching the birches to see if they live up to what I say about them in the poem.” Robert Frost Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant [American journalist and writer] Describes – the way in which Robert Frost came to write "Birches” "As for the poet, 'who never saw New England as clearly as when he was in Old England,' he could not tie down his creative moments. It was about this time, early in 1914, while tramping the muddy yard at the Bungalow [West Midlands], that he suddenly; he says, wrote a new poem, not to be included in North of Boston. This was the now so famous and beloved 'Birches,' with its cold and crystal memories of another kind of wintry world.” in "Birches," even though Frost saw New England most clearly when he was in Old England, he re-viewed his wintry New England scene through Thoreauvian eyes” ○ Robert Frost and the New England Renaissance George Monteiro 100 Henry David Thoreau’s description anticipates Frost's handling of imagery- ○ “I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There a different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness… ○ If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this.

  • Strange Ordinariness in Robert Frost: a Review
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2019): 7.583 Strange Ordinariness in Robert Frost: A Review Nabaneeta Bhatta Lecturer, Department of English, North Bengal International University, Rajshahi, Bangladesh Abstract: Robert Lee Frost is very famous and an oft-quoted poet. He is highly appreciated and admired for his realistic portrayal of rural life and his great expertise on American colloquial speech. Most of his astonishing works circle around the rural life settings in New England during early twentieth century. He used his own work to analyze complicated social and philosophical themes. While experimentalist twentieth century poets were falling over themselves to find new modes of expression , Frost reawakened readers to the power of the pastoral , the classic symbols of nature and countryside. This paper is a journey through this strange ordinariness in the pages of the celebrated poet-Robert Frost. Keywords: Ordinariness; Colloquial speech; New England; Everyday events 1. Introduction New England country sides are his primary subjects, the many different things to be heard and seen and experienced The deceptive simplicity of Frost‟s verse boosted his in his rich, rustic landscape. He depicted the fields and popularity among serious and casual readers alike. His farms of his surroundings, observing the details of rural life, poetry is very natural in its wording ;using words that which hide universal meaning. His images- woods, stars, most people can understand: that make his poetry seem houses, brooks are usually taken from everyday life. He practical and ordinary ;speaking in a natural, easily wrote poetry from common speech, direct expression, comprehensible manner.

  • A Study of Robert Frost Mysticism
    International Journal of Research in Economics and Social Sciences (IJRESS) Available online at: http://euroasiapub.org Vol. 8 Issue 4, April- 2018 ISSN(o): 2249-7382 | Impact Factor: 6.939 | A Study of Robert Frost Mysticism Eknath Devidasrao Tatte Abstract Frost is regarded basically as a philosophical poet who always uses the pastoral setting as a modus operandi for his inquiries in to the nature and meaning of life. He is more difficult writer than what we often suppose. He is complicated poet with contradictions. A close study of Frost’s poetry makes us know much about his views on man, God and nature and his views are a measure of his wisdom and profundity. Keywords: God and Nature, Wisdom and Profundity Introduction We come across Frost's richness and depth of thoughts in his poetry. Many critics attempted to show his association with contemporary movements but he created philosophical and mystical tradition of his own. His poems are often coupled with elements of both Oriental and Western philosophy and mysticism. Several critics misinterpret Frost as a spiritual drifter. As a matter of fact, Frost was essentially a religious poet and a great mystic. He set up his religious belief in Swedenborgian Mysticism. It was Darwinian Theory that shattered him but he reaffirmed his belief in a spiritual reality. He tends to relate the individual self to the divine. Swedenborgian Mysticism was a crucial part of Frost's mother and this hierarchy of mysticism is inherited by Frost. Mysticism Mysticism in a brief is the existence of realities beyond intellectual apprehension that are directly accessible by subjective experience.

It is entitled: Poetic Structural Devices as a Consideration When Analyzing and Interpreting Choral Scores Student's name: Andrew S Collins This work and its defense approved by: Committee chair: Earl Rivers Committee member: Donald Bogen Committee member: Kenneth Griffiths 1295 Last Printed:2/22/2011 Document Of Defense Form Poetic Structural Devices as a Consideration When Analyzing and Interpreting Choral Scores A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music by Andrew S. Collins B.M., Concordia College, 1997 M.M., Boston University, 2002 March 2011 Committee Chair: Earl Rivers, D.M.A. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the connection between poetry, choral composition, and choral performance, specifically how an understanding of the constructive elements of poetry can influence the interpretation of a choral score. The focus is on secular, English-language, accentual-syllabic poetry written in the United States and set to music by composers from the United States; free verse is not included in this document. Most studies of the interconnectedness of poetry and choral music have focused on either the meaning of the text or on “text painting.” By contrast, this study focuses on poetic constructive devices such as meter, form, and punctuation, and the implications such devices can have for choral performance, especially in regard to tempo, phrasing, articulation, and dynamics.
