F- The main character is the narrator, there is a man hen is watching anf and the horse. It was a snowy winter day,at night. he stops in front of a guys house and then leaves.

1. Thinking in the woods on a cold snowy evening.
2. where is in the woods, when is in the evening.
3. Person on a horse riding along.
4. impatient
5. from human, horse, to human.
6. Title is still the same.
7. The idea is to keep moving on.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Following the process outlined below will allow you to confidently and accurately understand and explain even the most challenging poetry. The best results will come from taking careful and detailed notes for each step, following the order outlined below. Welcome to the wonderful world of poetry.
1. T = Title
Long journey in the midnight
2. F = Facts

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep
4. A = Attitude
I think it sounds like he is nervous because he is lost. The whole poem shows his thoughts.
5. S = Shift
Whose woods these are I think I know.

A- really relaxed, no stress
S- i don't get this one
T- its what i thought it was. The title basically tells what is going to happen
I- This poem is just saying maybe you should take a moment to take in the nature and stop and look at your life. He is also saying even though the scenery is beautiful and he would like to stay, there are people and animals counting on him.
T-someone is walking in the snow and stops by the forest

Following the process outlined below will allow you to confidently and accurately understand and explain even the most challenging poetry. The best results will come from taking careful and detailed notes for each step, following the order outlined below. Welcome to the wonderful world of poetry.
1. T = Title
I think the poem means that their is a man or women that lives in the woods and that they went to go get something and then saw something and stop.
2. F = Facts
a) the narrator is the speaker he is talking about some one else but he is telling the story.
b) It is in the forest and it is winter in the dark
c) He walks around the woods with his horse and then he see his trees full with snow and and "miles to go before I sleep".
3. T = Techniques
a) Whose woods these are I think I know His house is in the village though.
b) i don't really know what to say for this question ??
c) He is rhyming like He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake.
d) i really don't think that he is using other sound techniques.
4. A = Attitude
His tone is not like yelling or soft it is just normal. He has no tone for the character.
5. S = Shifts
Identify and explain the significant shifts and changes in the poem. Specifically, look for shifts in:
a) narrative voice, No
b) stanzas, It is one big chunk
c) image patterns, I don't think so?
d) setting, action, No
e) logical organization, Yes
f) verb tenses, yes
g) line lengths, No
h) punctuation, yes
6. T = Title
My assumption was close to what the poem means like he has a horse and lives in the village is what i miss.
7. I = Idea
It has changes my impression about the poems like i thought it would just be a guy that lives in the woods and their is a bunch snow but it was a little bit different then my idea of the poem.
T- i think this poem is going to about something to do with a snowy night.
F- the horse rider is the narator, other is the horse,i know that they are riding in the evening (evidence is in the title)
T- Lots of imagery (for ex. easy wind)
A- in a good mood but frightened at the same time
S- the narorator seems to have a split personality or something
T- the title basically explains what the poem is going to be about, no surprise.
I- there is a moral where even if your in a rut you can get out of it by thinking about all the good stuff.
S-
T. The narrator is walking through the woods in the winter and it is snowing
F. Narrator is the farmer and there is a horse. They are both stopping by the woods in the enening and it is snowing. The setting is by a forest and they are watching the snow fall into the forest.
T. He has alot of ryming going on in the poem so it keeps the flow.
eg. He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake
A. really really calm
S. It goes from being mellow, to up beat?
T. The title pretty much explains to you what the poem is about and what to expect in the poem
I. I think that the poem is trying to say that instead of worrying and stressing about life you should just take a moment to relax and enjoy the earth and how it is today. And prevent it from turning into something we dont want tomorrow.
