SPA Poem

Life on campus is like a hell. It sucks, there is always something bad going on and someone is always getting hurt. It makes me smile. I like when people suffer, its like a reality show. I love it when someone say something behind some one back and when people fight. My favorite is when people falsely accuse other students. It make my world some much better.

One way I relate to this is when use to love shrimp. when I was younger my family didn't always take me and my brothers out to fancy resturants often.

Now that my family is more wealthy we eat shrimp alot and it is like a every day food so I stopped likeing it.

"Same Song" Paragraph

I think it should be a priority to look good. First, it shows that you care about yourself, but there are some people who just can't afford nice clothes but that doesn't mean they can't make them selves look appropriate. In the sory "Same Song " the kids were not trying to look good for themselves but for other people. For example when the girl put on jeans that didn't fit she wasn't doing it for her self but for other people ,so she good look skinny. Overall I think that people should look good for themselves instead of looking good for other people.

"Heart! We will forget him!" Paragraph

I think that the narrator treats her heart as a person because when we are hurt we need a person by our side. We use this as a defense mechanism to help us feel loved. Usually we tend to talk to ourself, but in some cases we talk to stuff animals, real animals or imaginary characters. When I get heart broke I talk to myself or two my pets.

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

I think students should miss rosie because it is a sad but true story about a women who uses idioms to describe her apperance. She used to be the most beautiful gal in Georgia until she got old. What thought she was trying to say is, should people care how they look knowing in the future you will rot and become unattractive? I also think that she was saying yes because you can look back and say that you were that person.

A Storm in the Mountains” One with Nature

When I was in Long Beach I had a argument with my uncle and ran away. I didn't kow were I was going but I really didn't care at the time. I wandered for hours crying and trying to get the frusturation out of my system. I started getting tired and hungry so I went to a park. It was at least 10:00. I crawled up against a tree to try to sleep. I looked up at the sky and the stars looke so beautiful. As I gazed at the stars I felt whole, I felt one with nature because it calmed me down and made me forget about my problems. I then left and walked around still looking at the stars. Until I walked into a street light. Then I slept under that street light for the rest of the night peacefuly.
