  2. That most songs are like poems. That people put in Metaphors and similes in the poem. Also that most people's poetry has personification, metaphor, or simile. Thanks Mr. Buxton

  9. Maddie,
    What you do is the 10. problems at the bottom and you have to find another word for the word in the parenthesis and on the page next to it it gives you the definition of personification. Does that help??

  10. Today we learned that personification, similies, and metaphors are a big part of poems because you are not supposed to tell exactly what it is but give a description at a different view. Also we listened to a song and relized how many similies, metaohors, and personfications songwriters use to make their songs more interesting! McCarthy

  18. I learned about how poetry is in songs most of the time. How to tell the difference between personifications, similes, and metaphors. Also, finding the hidden meaning in poetry.

    I learned that most poems are songs or song-like things also that you can do it more easily than writing a essay...
