Sol

I take in my surroundings. After crawling over a seat and out of the back row, and finally pulling my back pack out from between the seats, I look around. I see two big cabins across the street with smaller ones lined up on either side. After Elizabeth talks to us and I grab a bunk, I run toward the sound of the waves. There was a small wall separating us from the beach. I excitedly hopped over it and ran. People where squealing and laughing as they soaked there feet into the water. I run to join them. The water was cold but refreshing. I laugh and jump over the waves and completely soaked. I can't wait for this trip.

Limericks

Mina
There once was a girl named Mina
Who wanted to be a ballerina
But while walking through the park
She was attacked by laser sharks
And that was the last of Mina

A Boy Named Sue
There once was a boy named Sue
Who would have proffered to called be Lou
He tried to kill his Dad
His life is song which made him mad
And Johnny Cash doesn't know what to do

The Fall of Myspace
There once was a place called myspace
Which was a social media place
But then came Facebook
and without one last look
Everyone left myspace




poem

She flew down
Face first she went down the slide
Her teachers told her not to and her friends told her she was crazy
She went anyway
She always did
When she was younger her parents would take her to the park to play
There were other kids there who were to scared to even approach the slide
But she always would always go strait to the slide and push herself down
Face first
It was fun and she loved it
So when she approached the slide she wasn't scared
She could hardly wait
She layed down and looked ahead
She couldn't see the end of the slide because it turned but that didn't damper her excitement
She took a deep breath and pushed
It went much faster than she expected and soon
Splat
She couldn't understand it had worked all the other times, why not now
The fall had temporarily knocked the wind out of her and she could feel her chin and knees hurting
Screams escaped her mouth and tears ran down her face
A teacher ran towards her and she kept crying, not just because she was hurt, but because she was shocked
because she flew to close to the sun and was burned

Reality boy

I really liked this book. I thought it was clever interesting and thought provoking. It is about a boy named Gerald. When he was little his mother invited a nannying reality TV show to film at his house. Twelve years later it is still effecting him and causing day to day trauma. Will Gerald always be the boy on Tv or will he be able to escape that title and make a life for himself. This book was  great.I would recommend it to most kids in our class.

Occasional poem

Smash
Friends reunite
Crash
Families are put back together
Crack
People see each other for the first time in years
The wall is coming down
People are full of joy
Smash
People are exited
Crash
 people can go home
Crack
for the first time in years
The wall is crumbling down
It has been long enough
Smash
People stand shocked
Crash
watching it fall
Crack
It is stunning because for the first time in years
A wall won't be found
People embrace
Smash
Whoop and cheer
Crash
Joy is in the air
Crack
People are happy everywhere
and for the first time in years
The wall is down
