7th grade assignment
How to Read a Poem
Introduction
Describe how to read (out loud, more than once) and talk about stanzas
Repetition
Repetition is when a phrase or phrases are repeated. The most common reason word phrases are repeated is because the poet wants the phrase to really get into the readers head. Repetition can really be useful, because it might help you find the theme or message of the poem by pointing out what is important. An example of this is Jack Frost were he writes “ and miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep” which simply ment he has a long time to g before he dies.
Imagery
Imagery is basically when the peot tries to put a picture or pictures into your head. It actuly dosen't even have to be a visal picture. It could be taste, smell, hearing,or feeling.
do you rememeber as kid when to th library,they had children books with buttons that made noises or patches of fur glued on to the card board pages
Metaphor
A metephor is when a poet is saying somthing that means some diffrent then what he is actualy saying.(weird Huh?)
I am not positve on the comeplete meaning of a metaphor, actuly i think metaphors are exsist to help explain meannig or to entertain the reader by giving them somthing to figure out other wise a poem would seem extremely boring .
if you would be able to find a poem without a metaphor it would defenetly be a very odd poem
Rhythm, rhyme
I am not sure
ryhming is when the writing seems to blend together.
iF a peom you would read a poem with out ryhming you would probly notice each sentance better but if there was was you would get the big iddea
the best example would be i wil not eat green eggs and ham sam i am by dr suess
Theme/message
the theme is what the poem whole poem is about. this the main reason a poem is writen

through metaphor to reconcilethe people and the stones.
Compose.

Invent!
Saxifrage is my flower that splitsthe rocks.
William Carlos Williams

3. Explain metaphors. The first stanza is trying to explain either the contents of a high-quality song or how to construct one.

Blizzard


Snow falls:years of anger followinghours that float idly down --the blizzarddrifts its weightdeeper and deeper for three daysor sixty years, eh? Then the sun! a clutter ofyellow and blue flakes --Hairy looking trees stand outin long alleysover a wild solitude.The man turns and there --his solitary track stretched outupon the world.

1. Persuasive Essay (art in schools)Check with Mr. R. or IncompleteIf you were to travel back in time to the 18th century you would see that many classrooms did not have breakfast programs, libraries, (well maybe a book shelf or two) or even air conditioning( unless you cont an open window… that is if they had a window). Now in the 21st century we do… NOT HAVE ANY OF THOSE SO CALLED LUXERIES!!! So I am asking you kindly to help me improve this already great school.If you were to visit my miniature school libraryYou would find a very minute selection of books to pick from. The reason my classmates and I need a larger verity of books is because with a bigger selection, my classmates and I would be able to expand our speech and reading skills. Another great thing about a bigger library would be helpful for would be to study from and to gather information for essays and other writing projects. One of the best advantages about a bigger library would be that it could triple as study room, computer room, and of course a library.Something else my school can advance on would be the air conditioning system. One the reasons my school can improve on the air conditioner is because during very hot days of the year, my classmates and I are boiling and can not put are full attention on our work because it is so hot. The next reason my school can improve by fixing the air conditioning system is because many kid’s can become dizzy, dehydrated or even faint from the heat.When you wake up in the morning what is the first thing you smell? Breakfast of course, but many kids today don’t eat a healthy breakfast because there parents have to work. One of the ways my school can improve with a breakfast program is because studies show that kids who eat a healthy breakfast do better in school. Another reason a breakfast program would make a good addition to my school is because if you eat an assume breakfast you do assume in school because they have energy to stay awake in class.Although my school is already great, I am going to need your help to make it not something to be proud but something to be inspired.2.

4. summery #1The Dog of Pompeii:SummarizedThe story “The Dog of Pompeii” by Louis Untermeyer takes place at the great and ancient city of Pompeii. The two main characters in the story are Titio, a blind boy, and his dog, Bimbo.Titio and his dog have a very strong relationship, since they are friends, instead of one owning the other.Every morning Titio wakes up to the bread bimbo has brought him for breakfast. Soon after breakfast they take a stroll through the city and enjoy the many, not sights, but sounds and smells. After that they settle down some were to take a nap. Then Titio wakes up to a lunch Bimbo has mysteriously brought him. Then they take another walk and find a place for the night. This is how every day pretty much goes for them.The next morning everything changes. M.T. Vesuvius has erupted with great force. Instead of breakfast, Titio wakes up to bimbo biting him awake. Soon both of them are running away from the burning buildings. Then when Titio felt like he could not run any more they reach the safety of the beach. Then Titio knocked out. He awoke to two men pulling him onto a boat. There was one problem though, Bimbo was no were to be found. “BMIBO” he shouted, but nothing answered him. Years later historical archeologists discover a dog incased in ash with a piece of bread in its mouth.,#2AGLAL BLOOMSWhat could be killing the whales off the Cape Cod? The answer is algal blooms or red tides. Algal blooms are a swarm of algae, they grow to even bigger numbers when there is a increase in food or temperature change. Algae are tiny fish that float on top of the water and use light from the sun to make there food. Some of the species produce a deadly toxin. Since the whales eat the algae they also eat the toxin and die. due on 11 /19/08

BLIND
By Carlos Cruz III
If you were to close your eyes and walk around the streets of New York, what do you think would happen? Imagine that your own eyes have been replaced by a long, narrow cane. Think about all the dangers and challenges that you would have to face or over come. For you and me we can just open our eyes and, there the problem is solved. However, the solution isn’t so simple for others. They can open and close their eyes as many times as they like but they will never be able to see.
If you were blind, every day obstacles would appear as complicated challenges, were the consequences vary from annoying to severe. Just to obtain a regular life to some may be a test of endurance for both the mental and physical parts of the body. Even if they pushed their efforts to the limits a normal life may be just out of grasp. Did you know that about every 11 min some one has become blind, that’s over 4,700 people a year? This is not including the 40 million people around the world.
Worst of all people will constantly boast with out any intention to. As they watch T.V., play a game of catch or simply enjoy a painting.
To many, they are put to the side, not to be thought about or even considered during the construction of streets and buildings. However, I plan to give the blind a voice in these types of events. On many street corners you can tell when to cross with different types of lights. Nevertheless many streets don’t yet have the system of beeps that tell the blind when to go. However, I plan to change this
Although, helping the blind may seem expansive as soon we do cure it all the maintaining fees will be completely done with. I also plan to try invest more money into research the may brighten the future for the blind.
