Carry Your Own Skis, Dreams, and The Road not Taken

Over the course of the second semester, many important texts were read. Each short story and poem had their own themes and messages to share. Depending on how you personally read each text, some may stick out more than others, but all just as important as the other. Important as in to each author, their message is significant to themselves. We as a class definitely got a lot of reading of different texts this semester so there were many to choose from that should be considered the most important. The three most important texts of the semester were Carry your own Skis by Lian Dolan, Dreams by Langston Hughes, and The Road not Taken by Robert Frost because they all have very important messages. To start, a very important text of the semester was Carry your own Skis by Lian Dolan because it teaches about the importance of responsibility. The short story tells of two sisters who learned to ski when they were younger. When they grew up, they taught all of their kids to learn to ski. Yes, it was a fun and exhausting activity, but there was more meaning to it than that. What was the main point? In Carry your own Skis Lian Dolan states, â€Å"There was, however, one rule my mother had about skiing: Carry your own skis†¦The lesson was simple, really. Be responsible for yourself and your stuff, or you miss out.† No matter what the situation, cold or wet, the children all were responsible for carrying their own skis. Overall, it the main message teaches that responsibility is very importantShow MoreRelatedA Business Plan for and Adventure Recreation Company9286 Words   |  38 Pages 7.6 Business Ratios Appendix 1.0 Organizational Overview UAE was formed as a dream organization to provide hard-adventure sport/travel experiences to clients.
