Poetry Reflecion

                    Poetry really does have an important place in my life without poetry in my life I don't think I would be as creative as I am today. I actually really try whenever I am creating a poem to add a lot of creativity and make sure it is unique. Also it helps me to express my feelings and get things off of my mind. I don't really think poetry has a importance in everyone life though. It really depends on the person and if they like poetry. There is a lot of people who don't enjoy certain things that other people like, for instance like poetry. Some reasons people might like poetry because it is hard for them to express their true emotion about things or even they can be shy. Another reason is that they could just not like it at all. I know this because I didn't like poetry but once I created one that I was proud of it felt amazing.


                    The life experiences of a poet affects their writing because that could be a topic they're writing about. Also it affects their writing because they would be able to explain their poetry better and have descriptive words and make you feel what happened to them. They can also help to relate because a lot of people have been through the same thing. That is the power of poetry it really speaks to you and reaches out to you and it is just like you are in a different world. However, that is just my opinion people may have other opinions on poetry but they can't even say why they dislike it.

"Beware of the Titan Who Roams the Nikalaks" Nonsense Poem

"Dallas" Found Poem

 Kiss me while you're at it,

Dallas moved over on me.

At that moment they both became aware

the sound,

the hard tap,

the voice slow, deliberately.

Then they stopped,

silence I need you out here.

Moments, shaded the morning light.

Quietly take her out, before the day turns

BLACK 

                 This poem is about a man named Dallas and he is a known as a "Craiglist killer". He goes on dates with people and acts nice but then he kills them. He has found a liking in this so called "Hobby" so, he continues to do it. Therefore, this poem speaks about his next victim and how he "Takes her out"

"Spine Poem"

            What this poem is about is there is a group a girls who hated dogs. The Girls decided to get rid of all dogs and their purpose. They didn't like dogs because they got more attention than them. Therefore, The Girls chose to take away the population of dogs so they can get the attention they need/desire. However, the meaning of this poem goes along the lines of being an older sibling. The "dogs" represent the younger sibling and "The Girls" srepresent the older sibling. For instance, it is natural for a older brother or sister to get jealous of the youngest because they get whatever they want and do as they please. I actually am the same way with my little brother I envy sometimes for things he gets and stuff but I had it the same way when I was little.

"Where I'm From"

3rd Quarter Reflection

          The area I think that I made the most improvements in is my Global Collaboration. I didn't really know much about global collaboration before. I thought all of us were completely different but it turns out we are all somewhat similar. With the pen pals we have really expanded my experience with other people. I would say if we didn't do that I wouldn't understand how other people lived. We also did a project on telling people from different places in the world how we live and what we do. It turns out we have many similarities. Thanks to this class my Global Collaboration became much more efficient.

          What I accomplished this year in this class was that I read five books while I was here. I am really proud of that because I don't necessarily enjoy it. I also didn't really read much but, when I came into this class in the beginning of the third quarter. Now I enjoy reading and I would like to read more. I am in Battle of the Books and that helped me to experience reading better and actually enjoy it. I am starting to really enjoy this class.

          The most challenging part of the third quarter I would say would be the blogs and the AOWs because we have to do them both in one week. It is sometimes hard to make time I know I'm still a kid but it could be hard sometimes. To top it we have to study for a vocabulary quiz the same week. I happen to like this challenge that Mrs. Larson is giving us because it pushes me to do my best and I don't do that a lot I do the bare minimum but not anymore. Without these challenges I would be much lazier.

Extended Metaphor Poem

Really tired the next day:

I woke up feeling good on a beautiful Monday

I went to school like an average kid

went to my first class and then the next

But the thing is in my third period class I got a lot of homework

It was very unlikely to get a lot of homework in this class

but it is what it is
We had to do a 3 paragraphs on an article,
and study for the biggest test of 7th grade
THE CONSTITUTION TEST

After school I went home and I studied
Then when I look at the time it's already 9:30
I forgot that my computer shuts off at 10:00
So I tried to rush through all of the paragraphs,
but I still couldn't finish

So now it time to make a decision
Stay up late and finish or get a goodnight sleep
I chose something I know I would regret and that was to finish the homework
I was up until 3:35 A.M.
But I didn't care as long as I finished

When I woke up for school I was really cranky and very whinny
I hated when I was like that and I'm pretty sure everyone else did too
I looked like feces and felt like it too
I chose to stay up late and finish my homework
And that has made all the difference

Bio-Poem for Literary Character

                   A Dog's Life By: Ann M. Martin

Squirrel

Naive , curious, brave, caring

A character in Ann Martin's story
Lover of family, others, outdoors
Who noticed that she is still just a pup, not easily understood and slowly growing up
Who feels neglected, misunderstood and too young
Who learns that being young is okay and you need to enjoy life while you still have it
Who says "My heart thumped so hard I could feel it beating in my throat"
Who used to think that the humans are good people but now knows to trust no one.
Major character in "A Dog's Life"
A book that is really interesting to me
