"Ex- Basketball Player" Paragraph


Athletics are very important to me because it gives us as students the ability to not only have work to focus on in school but also a variety of different kinds of skills to inherit such as teamwork and also a skill for the sport being played. I believe it prepares people for life because when you get into a job environment, some jobs require you to work with your co-workers. It will help you not only be able to communicate better but also give you the experience with working with someone or a group of people to complete a task or goal.

I believe that many people in the world set higher goals then they can actually achieve. The goals they set are more like dreams they would like to achieve but sometimes you may not be asseted with the appropriate skills for the job or whatever it is he or she is working for. This is why we should analyze our goals before actually trying.

Persuading You to Comment Blog Post

Sophomores in Ms. Priester's English 10 classes should comment on Freshman's blog posts. One reason why they should is because we may not know it but the Freshman look up to us and if we comment on their posts with critisizm they will take it as extra help to help them succeed in the class and earn good grades. Second is because it enhances our skills to keep up with people other then ourselves and let us know a little more about the person through their blog.

What It Takes To Be A Sophemore

What it takes for me to be a sophomore is a high level of maturity. Without being mature you willl not fit in the classes and not reach your full potential because of all the distractions. When you mature you learn when to play and when to be serious in order to complete the given assignments and stay on task at the same time.

SPA Poem

Life at SPA is like a dying plant, where drama is contagious and everyones favorite phrase is "I can't". When the days are going good, times seem to be Ice Cream on a hot day. Staff and adults are trying to lead me to the right way. The adults are the leaves and I am the stem, trying to see my way to success but we won't know till the end.

This Week

This week for me has been a really good week. The last two weeks have been very interesting and I have enjoyed myself. I have spent time with close friends, played basketball in games and practices, and I also went to baseball practices. Not to mention all the things that pop up in between these activities. I have moved houses because my houseparents left and that is the only bad thing that has happened. I miss them but life is full of changes and you have to learn to cope with them and get through it.

Graph Sherbet Blog Post

I can relate to the poem "Grape Sherbet" because I have once too celebrated the anniversary of an age of a deceased person. We celebrate my great Grandfathers birthday every September 11th because he was in war and died at a young age due to the war of World War Two. We meet at a park in Yorba Linda, Orange County. It is kind of a small family reunion and we rent drive-able bikes and the whole family has fun. One of the phrases in the poem that helped me imagine this was when the author said he was walking above tombstones. It is similar to what my family does.

Memorable Valentintes Day

A memorable Valentines Day for me was the Valentines Day of my 8th grade year. I spent over a hundred dollars on stuff to fill my girlfriends locker with. I took her books and backpack out and put her stuff in my locker and then filled her locker with Roses, candy, drinks, a card, a giant heart of chocalate and much more stuff and when she got to her locker I was around the corner and she had the hugest smile of shock that I have ever seen in my life. I loved that day but I will never spend that much money ever again.

"Remember" Homework Paragraph

The statements in the last three lines of the poem "remember" is logical because us people or humans make the world or universe what it is and we are living in it or on it. The world and environment is what we make it. We either take care of it and keep it in good shape or we abuse it and let it fall to disaster. Another example is us being humans we created language and we made every word and gave the word its meaning. This is why I believe these lings are logical.

Remember Paragraph

"Entering the Poets world, I think she wrote this story and published it because she thought people didn't respect themselves and where they live. Another example, If I was the poet I would have published this because I might of realized what other people don't, and I apreciate my world and all who live in it. A final example, If I were to make a poem and have it published I would do it because the way I described this poem is said in such a way the poem alone can change someones persepctive.
This poem made me feel ashamed because I see how orrible people treat each other and our world.

Heartbreak Response

In the poem "Heart! We will forget him!" the speaker in the poem speaks directly to her heart as if it were another person, a possible reason she talks to her heart seperately could be because it makes her feel as if she is not alone. I thnk her boyfriend cheated on her. Personification is giving non-living things human characteristics. The author uses personification and it just shows how she can cope with her problems and fell as if she had company. One way I can relate to this poem is when I was heartbroken. I felt almost this bad and I thought alot to compsny myself.

"Same Song" blog post

Their has been several different times when I did something that made me feel better about myself such as talking to certain girls or even buying new clothes but the biggest relief and feeling of greatness I have had is when my heair was super long and curly I decided to cut it and it was the biggest relief I had in some time because it felt so good not having to worry about waking up extra early each morning to fix my hair. It was a great feeling.

The song that has imagery and represents my life is the song "Hope" by Twista. He had a line in the verse that went as such "Wish I could teach a soul to fly,Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi,". Which he is saying he could take all stress out the world and all the bad acts that people encounter every day and that civilians can all get along rather than people of differenct decents or races arguing and killing eachother. In my life their has been a lot of forgiveness and trying to make peace with those I've argued with and that is how it symbolizes my life.

“A Storm in the Mountains” One with Nature

One day me and my brother decided to go camping with our friends and their dad. I'm not really a person who likes to be an adventurist like that but I went because my friends talked me into it. We found a spot right next to the lake somewhere in a mountain in Idaho. It was miles and miles away from any civilization and I was having a bad feeling about staying the weekend there. I seen very tall trees that covered the whole sight except for the lake which stood out like a rat in a hamster cage. All I could hear is birds chirping and the sound of water ski's in the lake. With every step I was reminded that I was in the nature because I was constantly stepping on dirt and uneven gravel. At first I was skeptic about going but after all the fun I had, I would be quick to say yes to another trip with them.

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

The name of my poem is "I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Bacca. I reccomend people to read this poem because it has great meaning and uses very good metaphoric sentences and is also has good examples of something of great value to you. This poem is explaining something of great value to the poet and he is giving the readers an oppertunity to understand something they find very valuable to them. The best part of the poem is the last stanza because he is stating the overall careing he has for this topic.

Imagery in Selected Poem Paragraph

An example of imager in the poem I chose is where he says "the feathers are of a silver metal" stating that the feathers are beautiful in color. Imagery is very important in setting the mood because you can either start a poem off as happy and bright or dark and evil. This story helps describe the emotion of comfort. Being comforted by something nice in view and very friendly. This is how imagery is used in the poem I chose.
