This process of sharing our thesis socially has been
interesting. I shared my five
different thesis claims with my neighbor and was happy with the great comments
he provided. When I included him in
the next step, he mentioned that Robert Frost’s poem, "The Road Not Taken" had
kept him up at night. Not intending for
him to lose sleep over my homework, I was hoping he and his wife still liked
me.
I was pleasantly surprised on Sunday
morning in our Gospel Doctrine class when my neighbor who is the instructor,
passed a copy of Frost’s poem to each class member to read and analyze in the
context of our pre-mortal and earthly life.

He was able to incorporate the metaphor of choosing a path into our
lesson very effectively. In fact, one
woman raised her hand to tell him that he had taught a really great lesson,
which made him feel good. I was pleased
as well. I was happy he shared the poem
I am writing about with our Ward members.
Maybe Dr. Burton is right that what we find interesting and
good in literature we should share with others who will most likely be
grateful for the enrichment.
