WAR HORSE REFLECTION
ReplyDeleteI think the movie War horse was sad because
1) the black horse died
2) Joey was taken away from that boy (forgot name)
3) the family basically lost there money
Some things I thought were messed up
1) Too many charters to focus on
2) it wasn't very clear what side was what
Other than that my prediction was that it was going to be a boring movie but it turned out emotional and stuff.
I thing the big Idea is A Journey or friendship because
1) A journey because Joey traveled from place to place first the boy then the army then the other side of the army, to the girl, back to the army then finally back to the boy
2) Friendship because the boy had a good connection with joey and even do he was far away from him he still ended up being together again.
Thank you for reading
Some of your thoughts were really good Rachel, but I don't really think you were digging so deep into the onion.

ReplyDeleteI actually think the big idea is courage/journey cause for some reason the the owners of the horse kept changing and the main character(boy, forgot name) never gave up on the horse..
ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton my mom and dad told me everything. Did Ms.Asni and you think I was absent or missing if so that would explain everything yoiu kept on asking me and stuff....
And I left my backpack on the side of my desk when we went to Chinese cause yuo told us to just leave everything where it is. Well, that might be the reason you and Ms.Asni thought I was missing... (My backpack wasn't in my cubby)
ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton can my nouns poem have 15 lines instead of 16 because I'm doing my stanzas in 3
ReplyDeleteOf course, Rachel. It just has to have APPROXIMATELY 16 lines, not exactly.
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton, when I searched the internet for something and a wikipedia website came up, I click on it and this message was there:
ReplyDeleteFor over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia.
Mr. Buxton, I don't really get what you were saying today about how Riya was focusing her poem on Emactoins and Zach was focusing his on Oberservations of the pictures. Can you help me? If not I'll do my best.
ReplyDeletehey guys....first a line is a sentance right? second Mr.Buxton todays post says war "house" not war "horse".
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily Nick. In poetry, it is kind of different.
ReplyDeleteso its like spacing?
ReplyDeletewell, take this poem for example (this is just the first 5 lines):
ReplyDeleteTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Each one of those lines is a separate line, but it isn't really a sentence.
never mind its now 23 lines I thought of some more.
ReplyDeletehere is my poem I don't know if I should print it and stick it on so I need some advice.
All happy, sound asleep
Thinking of dreams with wonderful things,
Waking up with loud beeps.
Spreading butter on pieces of bread
Getting into the car with a heavy bag,
Didn’t finish my homework, so I need some pencil leads.
Porsches driving on the highway
Hot green watermelons sitting in the sun
I’m going to be late for school but who cares anyways.
Sitting in School learning math,
While whispering to your friends,
Is just like taking the wrong path.
A group of people eating lunch,
Is like a house of cards about to fall
While everybody is drinking fruit punch.
Just a few more subjects to do,
Then the day is almost over
All these subjects are boring,
Like the opposite of four leaf clovers
Finally I’m back home
Where its peace and quiet
Got a lot of Homework,
Do you?
SO WE HAVE TO DO 23 LINES NOW NOT 16??
ReplyDeletecan somebody please tell me what part 1 is for social studies project
ReplyDeleteIt's NOT 23 lines. It's APPROXIMATELY 16 lines and at LEAST 20 nouns.
ReplyDeleteNick no, it is still 16 it means Rachel has 23 lines but you don't need to have 23 lines she just does cause she thought of more
ReplyDeletekk thanks and part one of the project is to get 2 strong medafores...
ReplyDeleteme spell bad! =O
ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton- Can I use SOME anomateapia(don't know how to spell) in my noun poem example: (I will use if Mr.Buxton says yes) pitter patter pitter patter...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see what I would come up with, so I searched 'life' (my poem is about that) and then clicked the 'pictures' and one of the pictures was of this text saying something. It was quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteGo to this link if you want to know:
http://sayingimages.com/happiness/happiness_is_the_key_to_life.jpg

ReplyDeletePack Of Deer
By: Harrisen pike
As fast as a
Squadroun of lions
Full of fear
As strong as
Mushroom-Men
As exited as
Pigeons eating
Fries
As fast as
Matt Forte
Full of passion
As cool as volley balls
Full of
Molecules
As shiny as a
Dark brown log
And as unique as
The Statue of liberty
Nothing can beat a
Pack of Deer
That's good Harrisen but you know it dosen't have to be similes...
ReplyDeleteI am finally controlling myself OBOBsetity! Is anyone allergic to cheesecake? Anyone don't like it?
ReplyDeleteI can't find a good poem to recite. If I do find one, it isn't famous. What can I do?
Harrisen- are you sure that's where you should put the line breaks?
ReplyDeleteDoes the photos arounds your noun collage have to be in yuo noun collage poem?
ReplyDeletethat's fine Anisha just find a poem that you think means something to you.

Yes Harrisen much better
ReplyDeleteTHX
ReplyDeletewelcome
ReplyDeleteHarrisen- That's better, but I think what you really want is instead of having the "as" in the first line, have it in the second line with the comparison. For example, instead of having:
ReplyDeleteAs exited as
Pigeons eating fries
You could have:
As exited
as Pigeons eating fries
Or:
As exited
as Pigeons
eating fries
ME BACK!!!!
ReplyDeleteenyway guys this is what I have for my poem so far and I'll still be WORKING ON IT ok? oh and its about the world.
What catches the eye by:Nicholas B.
scortching hot deserts,
life within the sands.
Bone freezing tundras,
Baren life less lands.
Crouded City Streets,
Rushing left to right.
Rome's Broken colloseum,
Frozen in time.
Mount Everists Gase,
Gateway to heaven.
Sea's Endless Depths ,
Ailens of the dark.
and how could I put the Plural nouns in there?
ReplyDeleteWow...
ReplyDeleteWhat did they fight for again....free speech!
It won't happen
Rachel ..did I not say that it is often better to have stanzas that are 4 lines long
Splashtop ...costs 4.99 from u.s. iTunes store
George... They were finding connections with images in their collages
Nick...use capitals letters correctly
Harrison ...look at your line breaks... Make sure there is a reason for each new line
how could I though?
ReplyDeleteThanks Han !
ReplyDeleteThx guys
ReplyDeleteare these two good metaphors
ReplyDelete1.) On the wall, there was a shadow of a branch outside.
2.) So long as men can breathe or eyes can see.
Albert was the name! Were you guys paying any attention??
ReplyDeleteOkay...
ReplyDeleteGuys who has the paper for the stages for the spreaker project. Our group has done one part but needs the others!
ReplyDeleteGUYS!! how dan I make this have plural nouns in it?

Wide african savanas,

Cold cave walls,
teeming with life.
Earths sights,
behond words.
What Catches,
The eye.
Good but you need to fix the capitalization like what Mr.B said
ReplyDeleteWar horse reflection:
ReplyDeleteI really liked the movie, especially when all of those people were trying to get Joey but he always ran back to Albert, that was really entertaining. It was so sad when Joey got stuck on no mans land because of the wires.
Improvements: I think the movie could look a bit more up to date (maybe)
Connections: the movie reminds me of a chestnut horse named Cocoa who was at a horse farm kind of place. I would always ride her everyday and I would win races with her. She was soooo sweet! But the people at the farm said she couldn't jump high enough ( which I disagree ) so they would unfortunately have to sell her. So I had my last race with her and gave her hugs (which felt like she was hugging back) and said my good-bye's and before I knew it, I switched horses. None of the others were as sweet as her.
Hi guys can you please tell me if these are two good metaphors.
ReplyDelete1.) Life is a journey, travel it well.
2.) The Road Not Taken
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could change the 2nd one Harrisen cause the road not taken is a poem by Shiel Silverstein...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteohh thx han
ReplyDeleteHan-the road not taken is by Robert Frost.
ReplyDeleteOpps well yeah still...
ReplyDeleteI think that the big idea of the movie is that you should never love anything too much. it shows this when the War Horse, Joey, gets sepperated from so many of the people/horses he loves. Such as Albert, the red horse, the little girl, the two brothers, the two friends...
ReplyDeleteIn the book I just read, Brand New Emily, that poem was what the whole book was about basicly.
ReplyDeleter these good metaphors?
ReplyDeletelife is... a journey, a dance, a dream
and
love is a crocodile in the river of desire
yep
ReplyDeletehmm umm what do you call a group of plants I tried to look it up but that was just no help at all.
ReplyDeletewere supposed to have 16 lines in are poem or more or less
ReplyDeletenever mind about my question
ReplyDeletePoem:
ReplyDeleteRain in the Air
By: Han Sohn
Rain in the air,
Drizzle, like a soft melody.
Raindrops splatter,
Like streams of water.
From Singapore to America,
All around the earth pouring.
Feeds a bouquet of flowers day and night.
Drops of rain glide off the window,
Herd of animals scamper for shelter.
Fresh scent of nature,
Fills the air.
Slurp warm cups of Latte, on a chilly rainy day.
Rain falls onto the ocean floor and mountains.
Rain in the air.
