1. Using direct quotes (11/23) Basic Form Frost first describes the road as if few people have walked on it, but then admits “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same” (9-10). Note capitalization, use of forward slash, citation.

2. Direct quotations as examples Frost admits “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same,” suggesting there’s little difference between the two roads (9-10). In lines 9-10, Frost’s description of the roads suggests they’re basically the same.

3. Your turn Choose either “Those Winter Sundays” or “My Papa’s Waltz” and write a paragraph answering the following: How does the author characterize the father? Use multiple examples to support your answer, including at least one direct quotation. Cite references to the text using parenthetical citations or in-text reference.
