Mr.Buxton i was just wondering if we write a song or poem about tare mom do we get a T.Q or is it just for fun i was just wondering.

Maddy Z said...

When did he say that Riya?

Caroline said...

Maddy Z said...

Guys I need some help!
What should go with this line?
'His face was a non-fiction story'
My 'Metaphor Poem' (where that line came from) is basically about someone who has had a tragedy (or some kind of awful event) occur and he won't tell what happened.

Maddy Z said...

My theme is some thing like this so you know:
His...,
But...

His...,
But...

Rachel L said...

"Each wrinkle a page of history"

"But the ending wouldn't bring the smile"

Mr. Buxton we do have enough home work we just need to take breaks from it when we run out of ideas so we can refresh our minds.

Zach is write it depends on what your poem is about and what sounds better
but Mr. Buxton did say that in a poem is better to express your facts in shorter sentences.

Han said...

Julia....

Jacqueline said...

Maddy, go to my blog for my paragraphs

Rohan said...

Maddy, one part is on a comment on your blog

Rohan said...

Maya S. said...

Han- They would balance each other out, so -987+987 would equal 0

Sabine said...

Maddy Z said...

The sea is a caring lioness
Devouring defenseless lives
Frighting away other beasts
With its all might roar
If it dares to enter the prides territory

The sea can create
a terrifying roar
scattering those who are near
sending them fleeing to far
to save their precious lives

The sea is a hunter
Stalking up from behind
All seeming innocent
But that isn't to be

The sea is a carnivore
Ripping the flesh
of the unknowing victim
Letting it pride
Survive and thrive

berrysweetπ said...

To really get the last part of this poem, you have to know that a group of lions is called a pride. I used a play on word.

My Family is a Garden
By: Han Sohn

My family is a garden
My mother is a flower,
As gentle as can be
My father is a path,
Guiding me along

My family is a garden
My aunt is a butterfly,
Soaring from place to place.
My uncle is a bee,
Buzzing through the air


My family is a garden
My cousins are the bushes
My grandfather is a tree,
And my grandmother are the roots.

berrysweetπ said...

han- really nice! but i think in your last stanza you should continue with the pattern of giving an example of what they do, like

my uncle is a bee
buzzing all over the place

Riya D. said...

Anisha what was your sentece you chose???

Han said...

Oh thanks Anisha! I also think yours is very powerful

berrysweetπ said...

i took one from my metaphor lines and changed it up a bit. mr.buxton, why did i get a TQ for asking if we could do that? you said we could, i was just double checking.

berrysweetπ said...

Thanks Han! Welcome Han!

berrysweetπ said...

Unknown said...

Han said...

Sabine your song is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 2 long!

Han said...

It need to fit on 1 page, but it fits on 3 pages!!!

Sabine said...

no it's not!! i know i should be in bed but i snuck out. anyways how's it too long? probably it's because it's the glee version and they added alot of sentences to it. but it is a very good song with a very good meaning!!

Han said...

uhhh but...

Han said...

literally it is 3 pages!

Han said...

I need to go to bed now bye, but I got it printed

I chose Iridescent by Linkin Park in A Thousand Suns album. If you think I'm not stepping out of my comfort zone you're wrong because I'm singing all by myself today or tomorrow. I don't exactly need the lyrics because I already know them but still... Just incase.

Anonymous said...

P.S It's not too late It's just too early because I need to print out the lyrics using this laptop
