Book blog #12- poem to picture




Greece Greece I love you so much
you have such great things
The golden church bell rings
A greek child sing
and still Greece Greece I love you so much

Greece Greece why are you so warm?
It feels like the New York where i was just born
but hotter and refreshing
hotter due to the golden blazing of a golden sun
and refreshing because of the clear blue sea
Greece Greece you are the place for me
just stay with me and don't forget your sea

Book blog #11- Poem to read

The old year by john clare -
The old year has gone away
To nothingness and night:
We cannot find him all the day
 Nor hear him in the night:
He left no footstep, mark or place
  In either shade or sun:
The last year he'd a neighbour's face,
     In this he's known by none.

All nothing everywhere:
 Mists we on mornings see
Have more of substance when they're here
 And more of form than he.
He was a friend by every fire,
  In every cot and hall--
A guest to every heart's desire,
     And now he's nought at all.

Old papers thrown away,
  Old garments cast aside,
The talk of yesterday,
  Are things identified;
But time once torn away
  No voices can recall:
The eve of New Year's Day
  Left the Old Year lost to all.

The poem I really enjoyed is The old year by John Clare. It's a poem about new years day and it also talks about the old times from the old year. Something that I obeserved that reallys speaks to me is that this poem is the line that says a guest to every heart's desire.

It speaks to me because it shows spreading of love for the new year which is really sweet. Another obervation i found was that the poem is very descriptive, stating that putting aside the old stuff for the new year is acceptable and great, when I think why can't both of last years and the new year's stuff be together? The final observation I made was that the years are acting like people and trying to recieve that special spot light for the most "popular year".

What I've oberserved and seen in this poem is that the two years are little children trying to fight for the spotlight and being the center of attention for the new year. A couple of years ago me and my sister would always fight over being the center of attention to get more things that we wanted but than as we got older we would realize we both earned and got that spotlight.I would always want to pulverize but I didn't and of course their would be another sequel of us fighting, but gladly their wasnt.

Book Blog #10- Fatkid rules the world by K.L.GoinG

Shape,size, or weight always bother people don't they? Everyone would love to be skinny and beautiful in a large city full of famous people. Well you just stepped into a city i like to call Manhattan. This book tells a story about a boy named Troy Billinge who is very ample and doesnt like being 300 pounds while being 16 years old only. Whenever he walks on the streets of Manhattan, he faces people that are aghast while walking right by him. He doesnt like that and it makes him feel bad. My theory is Why should oversized people feel humiliated while waking on the street? They don't deserve it and even skinny people dont deserve it.

I used to be call fat when i was younger because i would constanly want to keep on eating since i was bored and the food that was infront of me looked so good and i didn't even care what time or how it was outside. All i wanted was the food to be in my rainy throat and than in my ferocious stomach. I especially remember when i saw the box full of chocalate chip cookies and I ran towards them and began eating one by one, but than my mom would catch me and yell at me since it was 10:00 pm. I never had a sweet tooth and i never will but i do love chocalate chip cookies no matter what time of day it is.


Not only was he disgusted by himself ( Troy) but he tried to commit suicide but was saved by a standing bystander who has the legend of being a great high school drop out. He is a little pushy so pushy he demands to be taken out to be dined just from pushing someone from a shorter distance to a farther distance from the train. Now I wasn't really fat but i was chubby and i never have though of commiting suicide but the smarter and healthier way of losing weight is exercising everyday and eat healthy foods. :)
