A timeless classic by poet Robert Frost, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is about taking time to appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature.
This poem also explores the theme of obligations versus man’s desire for peace of mind. While the narrator in the story wants to stop and admire the world around him and the peace he finds in nature, he knows he has obligations to keep so he must move on. This is a common experience many students will recognize, as they also have obligations that keep them from doing the things they really want to do.
A great literature discussion for older children and students.
