He sounds very whining because he gives a lot of complain in the story. Also he sometimes speaks deep because in some parts of the book he be a little angry like for example, he says he does not really get along with his son and also he says that he rather be in jail where he belongs.
He is sulky sometimes to because he is very lazy and do not likes to work or do nothing.

Homework! Oh Homework!

I think that the poet used hyperbole because he said that "he rather take a bath with an man eating shark " just to not do his homework, then he said that he would fight an lion in the dark if he has to to not do his homework, and that's an real big exaggeration .

I Have Hands Like My Dad

2009-02-09T07:25:00.000-08:00

I think this poem is about joy and how he injoys life just like his dad does he talks about bout how his dad is always working behind his computers typing and things and how his dad has a lot of friends and they be shaking each others hands. So im thinking the he is trying to say that we works hard just like his dad in life and that he has a lot of friends just like him.

I think the poet is sleepy, it sounds like he was stress.

Also when he says that he has a lot of miles to go i think that he is trying to say that his house is very far away and he is not no where near so the horse is going to have to wait until they get home so he can rest. Also i think that he could've been dieing because he sounded tired when he was saying it in his poem. The house was probably tired to because he was shaking his he like he wanted to take an rest.

Election Reflection

2008-11-05T08:58:00.000-08:00

The reason this election is historic is because this was the first African American ever elected and he was very serious about this election, he made some good changes. Also i really liked how he really wants to stop the war and i think he should that its really good for us because theres parents in there houses right now just thinking bout there kids like how there kids could end up dead with out them knowing whats even going on. I know that he really took this president thing very serious because like all of the good speeches that he have gave to make people really like him and think that he is the best. And i really was happy when i heard that Obama won because i really think that he will make a change in this world. I think that he should really change the educations and schools of the kids and work really on making us wanna go to college.
Obama will do good in America in the next 4 year because i really believe in him and all the things that he have said and done made him look like a very responsible person. Also i hope that he stops this war because it is killing a lot of Innocent people from America.

How does the information in the box "A Day in the Life (of me!)" help the reader understand the article?

The information from the box helps us understand the article better because it tells us, the time she gets up and it tells us some things that she do. It also tells us times that she gets out of work and times that she cut firewood, clean up projects, put away the tools, lunch, stretching, office work, also it tells us the time that she goes to sleep.

The book that i read today is called : Blood Is Thicker
The thing that i read today is about how Hakeem Rand0ll can't take it anymore. First he finds out that his father is sick and his parents can o longer afford their home. Then he must leave his friends at Bluford High and move to his uncle's house in faraway Detroit. Things go from bed to worse when Hakeem is forced to share a small bedroom with his moody and secretive cousin, Savon.
Once childhood friends, then to quickly become enemies. Now they are ready to go to war with each other, and the outcome of the battle promises to change their lives forever.
This book is most likely like the book that i read yesterday because i see how the girl in the book that i was reading yesterday her father died so she had to move to Pennsylvania, and the book that i read today his father got sick so he had to move to faraway Detroit and he did not want to because of his friends and when he went he started to have a lot of enemies so i guess he really did not like it and life started top be real hard for him with out his father because his father was in the Hospital for a long time because he was really sick .

When her father leaves to fight in World War 11, Elizabeth goes with her mother and older sister to live in her grandfather's stately old house on Autumn Street. It's there that Elizabeth forms a special friendship with Tatie,
the cook, and Tatie's young grandson Charles.
Whenever Charles comes to visit, he and Elizabeth share wonderful times. But on the winter day that they venture
out though the stinging snow to try Elizabeth's new sled, stark tragedy in the woods changes her safe world forever.
And every time Elizabeth ask her mom why do they have to move in grandpas house and she always say back "because
of the War that her father has to go to so she will get mad because she really don't want to leave where she lives.
Then there was one night that they called her and told her that her father had died, so she rushed to her room and started bursting out crying she got very stressed so stressed that she even tried to kill her self she thought that no one cared about her so her mom called her from her room and started speaking to her about what shes feeling and why she is feeling that type of way.
So they ended up going to they grandpas house and she had to go to school over there and all that so that even got her more mad because she had to lose her friends then her father that's messed up. She asked her self "what is she going to do with out her father" ?
So this girl was very tensed she thought that she had no one but her mom and family.
Then it had took her a while to stop crying about what happened to her father and about how she lost all of her friends and had to start all over again. Well she did get used to it and after she got used to it she got a lot of friends and she liked it she said it was really good and that she really likes the schools.
So i guess what she thought that was going to be bad for her was really good and it was nice place over at Pennsylvania.
