poem

I used repetition, simile, and Caesura

Ginger ;)

I came home
I came back
I came to you
I came for you

Taking care of you everyday
may be the best thing
You lift me up like god does the sun.

Lick, Lick, Lick
Your tounge and tail move so fast,
as each breath comes out so quickly.
Your happiness makes me happy.
You take another lap then come in.
running up and down around the house so swiftly.
Jumping, flying, gliding, and back down falling.

You are happy
You make me happy
You make me laugh
You make me smile

TROUBLE

Trouble my Taylor Swift is most deficiently not my favorite song, but it is stuck in my head right now, so why not write about it. I don't really think that there are many things about her songs that are very "poem like" like enjambement and sonnets, but she does use various types performance methods. She puts accents on her words and emphasizes the language.
Another thing that she does is repeat words. Not like repeating a chorus, she repeats words right after each other like, "trouble, trouble, trouble." Witch is a good poem method to use to put emphasis on things and make people look a little closer at them. She uses some good techniques that I would think about using next time I write a poem.

Reading post

I am having trouble picking a book to read. I was reading world war Z and it was great, but I got board so i moved on. Then I started Hate List, but could not really get into it. Now I am reading Great Gadsby, but I have to read my World History book. I am thinking the Scarlet Letter.
I really like the story line even though i don't know much about it. I am interested and I don't think anyone else is reading it so it is OPEN! Im a very confused reader right not.

Great Gadsby- 30 min
Hate List- 1hr
Wrote a poem- 45 min
Boulevard- 25 min

Comments

     I reread through all of my comments and the research paper for the first time. I believe that one because I got a 72% and two because Dr.D said I needed to work on focus. I will choose my research paper. Dr.D talks about how I did not focus on what I said I would focus on, I did not have good enough sources, and that some of it was unnecessary. I would have a lot of work to do on this paper. 
     I have already scheduled a day in the writing center where I can get tips on organization and help on focusing more on one thing in the future work that I will do with this paper. I had altered my research question a bit after I started my work, but I don't think that all of my paper goes directly towards one or the other, so this is another thing that I can work on. I can also make some word choice changed. I thing that my research paper would be a  good choice and a good revising and editing experience for me.

Reading time:

Hate List- 45 min

plagiarism

     I read the instructions for this first blog and I was like, "Oh great another one on those plagiarism things with the cites and stuff." I honestly think that it should be taught in middle school, but reminded in high school. If someone is caught it is there fault. They should be punished and whatnot on there own time not mine. I fell like the constant repetition and teaching is unnecessary for everyone to hear.
     What Jane Goodall says is talking about sources and how important they are. They are important, and just because I say that talks about plagiarism is unnecessary, I don't mean that plagiarism is good. I am glad someone inspiring like Jane Goodall is talking about this, and I home that it inspires people that like her not to plagiarize and to cite their sources. I also like that the article about this gives its sources to!
