Poem using 3 poetry terms
I wake up on the smooth, fertile grass
Birds are chirping because of the beautiful spring
Suddenly, I see rain clouds clustering and gathering around
It hasn’t rained in decades so I knew it wouldn’t rain
I was wrong
The rain had a spooky wind
with deathly sounds in the distant
I was drenched and felt like a mop
I ran as fast as I could to find shelter
But I was in a vast valley that had no end
I used an Euphony, hyperbole, and a cacophony
Vocabulary story
I have been trying so hard to get into South Park school. This school required the best of the best, but I was somewhat affiliated with the school because my dad taught there. It was time to take the test to get in and I knew I was doomed because after looking at the 1st question, I thought to myself, “how am I supposed to figure this out?” My self confidence immediately lowered but after telling myself, “I can do this, I got this” for about 5 minutes I felt much better and continued with the test.
About 1 hour after the test, the school administration started calling names for those who passed. Since my last name is Johnson, I had awhile to go until I can possibly hear my name. When they started to get to the I’s, my anticipation was so high and I was sweating too much. Here we go. “Jackson, James, Justin.” My heart skipped a beat and my rancor grew strong for those people.
I wanted to cry. I walked out of the room as quickly as possible when I heard an adult say, “Could Emily Johnson please come see me?” Oh great. What did I do. It turns out that I actually got a 100% and they wanted to congratulate me. It is crazy how in 5 minutes, I had a range of tears of sadness to tears of joy. It is amazing how if you just tell yourself, “You can do it,” during a test you will do so much better. I will do this again in the future.

Research Process
This research paper has been a challenge for me, and I feel like it is never ending. When I was done with my rough draft, I have to revise and edit my essay for my final draft. I also have a project due in History for this, and I feel like this research process is never ending.
Although, I have learned an abundant of useful information while researching and writing my paper. I learned to embed my quotes because before this, my quotes were choppy when I embedded them. Also, I learned to think of my thesis a lot when researching. There is so much information given to me through databases, but I don’t need all of that information. Lastly, I hope to get better in connecting my paragraphs together. This is my top struggle when I write, and I am trying to get better at it.
Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian response 2
In Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, I’ve noticed that Junior has gained respect after punching Gordy. I would think that if Junior punches a big guy, then the guy would seek revenge, but in Junior’s situation, he gained respect. I like the idea of this.
I also thought that it was interesting that when Junior told Penelope that he was poor, Penelope started crying. I thought that she was going to be mad at Junior for acting like he is not poor, but instead she made sure that he had a ride home. I like how the author is almost tricking with the readers mind in some situations because when we expect one result, it turns out to be a different one.
