Secret Place Poem

You see it Everyday no matter what.
It smells gross like salt, dirt and dirty boys.
You can’t taste it because it’s way too big and your mouth is to small.

You hear talking, screaming, and running.

You feel it under your feet when you walk in and out!

Poetry Experience Paragraph

I'm really happy that we are going in to poetry this week. I've never really learned about poetry but I have written poetry on my own. I've never studied poetry because I thought it comes from your heart. I always read poetry for fun especially Dr. Seuss’s book “Green Eggs and ham”. I hope to learn a lot from the poetry lesson this week. I hope to learn all the correct and proper ways to write poetry. I hope to learn the true and powerful meaning of poetry. I hope to write an amazing poem that will touch someone’s heart in an amazing way!

Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection

For the last few days in Ms. Priester’s English class we have been learning about Allegory and symbolism. One way I've learned about symbolism is reading the story "The Skull and the Arrow".  Another way is by working with a partner in class helping me study and go over it. My favorite assignment of allegory and symbolism would be reading "The Skull and the Arrow". The story grabbed my attention when I first read it. It had a great meaning to it. Symbolism and allegory have changed my thinking a lot. I never knew what they meant but now that I do I will understand a lot more things.

“The Skull and the Arrow” In the Cave

If I were beaten badly with a gash on my head, left for dead and had to find my way to shelter in the rain like the man in Louis L’Amour’s story, “The Skull and the Arrow,” I would just lay there and die. I would not try to do anything because I already have a cut that’s bleeding on my head, it’s raining and I could get sick, there’s no food for me to eat, I don’t really know where I am, there’s wild animals roaming around every. I would just lay there and starve, bleed and freeze to death. There would be no point in trying.
