Bull Fighting

Do you think Bull fighting is a humane or an inhumane sport? Why do you feel that way? Please explain....
I think that bull fighting is inhumane. It is cruel, watching the bull being tortured. It isn't fair either. The bull is already weakened when it fights. And, it's weapon, it's horn, isn't sharp harmful when it steps out to fight. I find that bull fighting is pointless. It doesn't really do any good, it just entertain us. And then, the bull dies in the end.

Effective Communication

I think that my friend is an effective communicator. When she presents her project, she has small note cards to help her remember what she has to say. She has eye contact with her audience. She doesn't always speak loud enough. When the presentation day is near, we would repeat our speech and comment on each other.

Effective Communication

Effective Communicator is someone who communicates effectively. To communicate effectively is to have eye contact, speak clearly, be clear about the topic of the conversation. Effective communication is important because it is useful in arguments and persuasions. The first step that I will take to become an effective communicator, is to be more detailed in conversations and not just vague information and clear on the topic of what I am saying.

Hanging Fire

Hanging Fire

The main idea of the poem is about a black boy who was treated unfairly by the world. The poem is not a simile. It has no rhyming and no beat to it. It is really sad about the boy and the things that he has go through. I think that his mother has committed suiside because she is always in her room and she doesn't seem to care for her own son. The stanzas of the poem is in short sentences. I imagine that this poem means a lot to the author since it could be him, the poor black boy.

7 things that will come true

There are seven things that will come true
now, i'll try my best to prove
First will come is arts night
On lock-in, there'll be a pillow fight
In january, there'll be biomes talking
then, nightmares shall be stalking
We'll all recieve a F in grades
then a contest will come, on eating grapes
and last but not least
we shall have a feast
(these ain't true, so don't believe!!)
because it's silly, because of me

the sugar plum tree

The Sugar-Plum Tree

HAVE you ever heard of the Sugar-Plum Tree?

'Tis a marvel of great renown!

It blooms on the shore of the Lollypop Sea

In the garden of Shut-Eye Town;

The fruit that it bears is so wondrously sweet

(As those who have tasted it say)

That good little children have only to eat

Of that fruit to be happy next day.

When you've got to the tree, you would have a hard time

To capture the fruit which I sing;

The tree is so tall that no person could climb

To the boughs where the sugar-plums swing!

But up in that tree sits a chocolate cat,

And a ginger bread dog prowls below-

And this is the way you contrive to get at

Those sugar-plums tempting you so:

You say but the word to that gingerbread dog

And he barks with such a terrible zest

That the chocolate cat is at once all agog,

As her swelling proportions attest.

And the chocolate cat goes covorting around

From this leafy limb unto that,

And the sugar-plums tumble, of course, to the ground-

Hurray for that chocolate cat!

There are marshmallows, gumdrops, and peppermint canes

With striping of scarlet and gold,

And you carry away of the treasure that rains,

As much as your apron can hold!

So come, little child, cuddle closer to me

In your dainty white nightcap and gown,

And I'll rock you away to the Sugar-Plum Tree

In the garden of Shut-Eye Town.

The elements of poetry are imagery, sound, voice and form. The form in this poetry is very neat. Each sentence isn't on one row but several rows. I don't think that this poem is metaphor or a simile. It doesn't really compare the Sugar Plum Tree with anything. It is a story about the tree and what happened when some kids wanted some sugar plum. And there was a chocolate cat and a gingerbread dog who helped them to get sugar plum.
There is rhyming in the poem. I think that this poem is like, not does not express any serious emotions. This poem describes me because i think that this poem has alot of imagination and i like fantasy-ish stuff.
