The Sound of Trees by Robert Frost | Analysis

Man it was nice to study a one page poem and only do a 13 minute video after the previous two mammoths. I don't know about you, but I found this poem a little confusing when I first read it. But I think that when you make the effort to break it down it's actually fairly simple and has a really nice message. Woo! ~~ The Boring Links and Info Bit ~~ Read the poem in full here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem... I can add Closed Captions to the video on request. :) Thanks to these resources for helping me make sense of this poem: https://app.emaze.com/@AORTRLWOQ#1 http://aboutrobertfrost.blogspot.com/... (this has some SICK info about ole Frostie as a whole GO READ IT) https://prezi.com/d3ne8-seguvs/the-so... ~~Phew It's Over~~ OK, back to what I was saying about the message. I love the idea Frost presents here of taking risks and being reckless with life. That's something I really try to embody and my worst fear is becoming stagnant (like the trees are in this poem). So lemme tell you what's been going on with me lately. At the beginning of this year, I did a lot of taking risks and a lot of being reckless; I switched to a different university course than the one I'd always dreamed of and applied for it, and applied for a new job which is really different to and harder than any job I've done before. Now, I'm dealing with the aftermath. And it's pretty freaking amazing. There is not one day I regret applying for Drama instead of English Literature - even though I'm not as natural or confident in it as a subject. It was a risk for me to go from applying for a subject a have A* grades in to one I have no qualifications in at all. But I did it anyway, because I wanted to. So far I've managed to get three offers, including one from my top choice. (!!!!!!) And I got the new job! It's at an outdoor activity place and I absolutely love it. If nothing else, it's the perfect contrast to the long hours of studying indoors and sitting down I have coming up over the next few months as my exams loom ever closer. When you look at all this, you'd probably say the risks paid off. And they have, and I'm really proud of myself and excited for what's coming next. ...But this risk-taking hasn't been all good. It's scarier, harder and more demanding than taking the easy road. As I said, this month I've been dealing with the aftermath of taking those risks, which in concrete terms means I've been going to uni audition workshops and interviews, and training for my new job. On the outside, it's been awesome and inspiring and vivid. But on the inside? Honestly, I think I've been feeling more and more insecure as February goes on. I'm telling you this, I admit, mainly for personal therapy (lol). But also because I don't want you to think anyone's life is perfect, or that your life will ever be perfect. It won't. It will be incredible and wild and eventful, I'm sure. But it won't be perfect. Taking risks, in my experience, is really really freaking great. But trying new things also comes with learning curves, embarrassment and being the least experienced person in the room. A lot. I guess I just wanted to lament here how much that's shaken my self-confidence. No this does not relate to the poem or anything and I'm actually shocked if anyone is reading this... but hey, a girl can use her YouTube description for anything she damn well pleases. :D Things are objectively going well for me right now. But I feel really insecure about my skills in Drama and how self-conscious I am. I'm terrified of screwing up my new job and causing someone to be injured or have a bad experience at the company because of me. It's even started breeding insecurity about my social skills, my appearance, my support system and whether I am the person I want to be. hhhuuuuuurrggggggggghhhhhhhh So yeah. Hopefully that doesn't sound too dire and self-pitying. I'm doing OK really... but insecurity is ever so slightly plaguing my life. That's why it's called the "comfort" zone I guess. I'm outside it and I'm uncomfortable, but that's what's supposed to happen. You have to be uncomfortable if you want to make real change and grow into someone new. I hope you're doing OK too. Let me know in the comments, I'm always here for a chat. :)
