To:KYLE YOERG

Kyle, I had no idea how I was supposed to do the conclusion since I didn't even have our thesis statement...I did what I could to my best knowledge so please edit it by tomorrow. Make sure you include a concluding sentence as well! Thanks kiddo.

Da Rough Draft Conclusion:

By comparing nature to death, Frost is able to delve deeper into sensitive topics regarding the change and loss that result in a death. These poems connote a continuous cycle of change in life that is necessary for the beginning, or the ending of things including life, beauty, and desire. Most of Frost's poems depict a loss that is portrayed through symbolisim with nature. This loss is strongly yearned for, such as the narrator in Frost's poem, "After Apple Picking." Here, the narrator implies a strong desire for rest and "long sleep" (line 41). In other times, the loss is questionable and stimulates the narrator to wonder if loss is neccessary to carry on with life. This is shown in the poem, "(KENZIE'S POEM TITLE)." Frost's other poems like "Bereft" leave readers with a feeling of loneliness, which is one of the results from a loss or a death. In Frost's poem, "The Oven Bird," the narrator uses the central metaphor of the changing of seasons from summer to autumn with the altering behavior of the ovenbird. He says, "[the oven bird] cease and be as other birds/ But that he knows in singing not to sing[...]" which show that the bird aknowledges the loss of beauty in the world around him by not singing joyously like it did before.

This is what I've gotten done...I hope I gave you enough to work with Kyle!
