Dear, reader:
Hi, my name is Atley Green. I'm a 9th grader at Carbondale Community High School and in Mrs. Hayes English I class. My favorite things to do are playing basketball, listening to music and chilling at the pool with family and friends. But in English were discussing poetry, but poetry isn't my favorite, I never really understood how to write it. But were assigned to think and type out our own poetry book. At first I thought that would be hard but later I learned that I enjoyed it. Maybe I will do this more often.
My favorite poem I wrote was the "Musical" poem. I love music, when I think of music, I think of rhythm, beat, motion and people enjoying themselves. Thats pretty much what the poem is describing. The poem just seemed to flow right, I just really enjoyed making this poem.
My least favorite poem I wrote was the "A day in the life" Poem. I really couldn't think of anything that would be good for that one. At first, I didn't really know how to start it, a whole bunch of beginning sentences popped up but didn't flow right. So I just used what I could think of and made a "Routine" poem.
During the poetry unit I have learned many things. My whole view towards poetry has changed. By writing and thinking of my own poems, I've learned that its not that hard. I always thought it was hard to write one because I thought they had to rhyme. But by making my own poetry book, I've learned different.
By writing the poems in this book, I've learned that anyone can be a poet. It doesn't take much work. It might take some thinking and usage of descriptive and powerful words. But it could also be a simple laid back poem. Either one is fine.
The fast pace movement.
Why have you always cared for me?
How would I live without your love?
Allusion: Hunger games is a novel with several allusions. Allusions are a reference to a well known person, place, thing or another piece of literature. One of the examples of an allusion was the concept of fighting to the death in the book, which was borrowed from Greek mythology. The Greek soldiers used to volunteer to play "The Games" and be put in a big arena to fight to the death, while the crowds watched. Also Cinna is from Cinna the poet, from Julius Caesar, Shakespeare. Portia is also from Julius Caesar, Cinna and Portia were hung alongside each other. Some other names are Cato, Octavia, and Flavia (Collins, 58). The allusions are all scattered somewhere in the book.
