How did the exercise on the Beatles' songs help you with understanding figuarative language?How good is your poem? Read it out loud 'slowly' to somebody. If he/she can guess the topic with no hints...your poem is probably very strong

Mr. Buxton I'm having troubles trying to make a title, what should I do?
~Juliana
Mr. Buxton, for my title I a doing reaction 1 ( public reaction and reactor one melted) is that ok as a title?
Alex
Juliana-I just thought of what signified my event. I called it "Blind Eyes" because nobody could predict that one of the largest earthquakes was about to hit.
~hayden
for my title I did the effected balcony beacasue mine was about the assassination of Martin Luther King and he was killed on his balcony but he effected peopples lives in many ways
Well, for Pearl Harbor what signified was that it was the beginning of World War II. Maybe I could do something like, A Terrible Beginning or I don't know.
~Juliana
Reaction 1
Alex Warmath
March 28, 1979
The morning sun hadn't yet shined
In Penn's woods a disaster would strike
A snap and a quarter back saying “hike!”
The relief valve failed to open
To factory might never reopen
Soon after the problem was noticed
The factory on high alert, the surrounding area threatened
Terror in the public was breaking through
The president had come, they knew the danger was real
The public evacuation started at eight
Everyone hoping it wasn't to late
The China Syndrome caused most of the panic
A reactor blowing up over the Atlantic
Twelve days after the movie was released
The dream came to reality in the East
The fear turned out to be for nothing
Sirens wailing for no good reason
Bad equipment and untrained workers were to blame
The entire thing now seems so lame
is this at all good or do I need more poetic devices + or showing langauge?
Alex
actually im changing it to the outcome of the balcony beacause effected kinda sounds bad in the way i used it
Sabrina- the outcome of the balcony isn't really showing language Alex
Ok thanks alex
Now I need help with the title would marching peace be good since he held protests that were non-violient
Does that have to do with your event? If so, yes.
~Juliana:-)
It does im doing MLK jr.
how about silent guns sabrina because he didn't fight with guns, he fought with words.
That is really good do you mind if i use it?
Is this a good poem? Also try to guess my event.
A Terrible Beginning
Blazing sun of golden yellow
A peaceful day with quiet fog
Salty sea air lurks through the ship
Enormous waves crash upon the bow
Enemies sneering off in the distance
Grins and smirks on wicked faces
Jets zipping through the dense smoggy air
With the ship passengers barely aware
A bang and pow from the sky above
Sinking slowly as the sun cries down on a horrid
day
Passengers stuttering frantically, if only they knew
Some passengers wounded others gone
The deed was done on a tropical paradise
It was like a test with no end
All that was left was an extreme shadow
No one knew but it created World War II
By: Juliana
It's the Pearl Harbor but you need a more effective title
Not the best title but really good poem
Alex
are we supposed to type up the historical event poem if we finished it 2night 4 homework???
Maddie
Sabrina, I liked your first title the best.
- M.G.
yes Kate
Maddie,
Yes I would type it up. That is what I'm doing.
- M.G.
I KNOW!!!!!!!! I can't figure out an effective title!!!!! Any tips?
~Juliana
Yeah, I am with you Juliana. I'm writing about this guy who worked for Japan during WW2, and he was stationed in the Philipenes. He was never told that the war was over, and he thought it was still going on with the rest of his men. Finally, somebody rescued them.
I don't really have a good title. All I can think of is, 'A 30 year long World War 2-in the jungle' which is very literail or 'War in the Leaves' which I like the best.
- M.G.
Silent Day
You have to type it up becasue it is going to be in our poetry booklet. the reason i know that is because i asked him
Flynn
Would a good title for Pearl Harbor be, "A Day of Disasters" ????????????????????????????
~Juliana
Flynn-he actually told that to the whole class.
Juliana- that's a so-so title. I would do The Silent Hour.
nice title Hayden.
But why would it be silent?
-M.G.
it is a good title juliana
Flynn
Can we only do four stanzas?
-M.G.
In each stanza, MUST there be four lines?
-M.G.
Mr. Buxton WANTS it to be at least three stanzas and at most five stanzas. But he REALLY wants four stanzas and four lines per stanza.
~Juliana:-)
Mary Grace,
We're supposed to only do 4 stanzas with 4 lines in each.
What would a good title be for Pearl Harbor? I'm trying to come up with one, but I can't think of anything.
Ansley:)
Thanks Juliana and Ansley!!
Pearl Harbor...... I really don't know..I'll think about that.
-M.G.
Oh yeah and why would you call it the "silent hour"?
~Juliana
War in the Leaves
A young man working for the Red Dot flag With only his backpack and hands A world at war for the second time His hands battling leaves, controlling the pearl nestled in the ocean, a lone soldier lost but found
Rations of rice eaten in dirty hands Eyes always wide, and arms wrapped in bands Fled to the green stretches, with hard dirt and the buzzing sound of bugs Brambles and ivory green vines to tug at their hair
Across the seas, a final bomb drops Surrender fills the skies But in their green world Gunshots are fired and their hopes still in mind
The globe is settled from the firey explosions A lone back is racked with struggles that can stop Finally the struggles stop as happy cries fill the air A lone soldier, finally found.
This is my poem. What do you guys think?
-M.G.
Juliana, I wondered the same thing.
This collage dropout who found him was looking for him, a panda and the Abondable Snowman!!!! I found that very funny.
-M.G.
What is the W.I.L.F for our poems????????????????? Help
McCarthy
People that are doing pearl harbor you could do the cherry bloosom's invatation beacause the japanese have a lot of cherry blossom there and they were invting us to war
The WILF is:
Approx.
-4 stanzas
-4 lines per stanza
-Title
-No or few pronouns
-Avoid word repetition
-Use strong verbs (NO LINKING)
-Integrate some poetic techniques
~Juliana
Nice though Sabrina! But do you think Fear at Sea would be an okay title?
~Juliana
yah
Actually, Silent Fear at Sea
~Juliana:-)
Wow, Pearl Harbor is very popular!
Thank you SSSSOOOOO much Juliana
M.G- all you wrote is literal. use figurative language. The title is also to literal.
