The Adventures of Kate Henry and more. This is my version of the true confessions of Charlotte Doyle. She has almost the same stubborn personality however it takes place in a airplane where they crash and end up in an island.

 Jane, Well done! You did a nice job of reconstruction the story. I like that you added dialogue to your story instead simply narrating the story. The idea of your story is also very interesting. You managed to capture nearly all of the elements of the story that I was looking for. One of the few that you were missing was when Charlotte thought that Zachariah was the one who committed the crimes. There were also some places where your story didn't seem to work such as when they are throwing a body overboard, but they are living on an island. Some of your transitions jumped around and were a little difficult to follow. However, you kept the idea of the story intact (except for the romance part you added). Outstanding job!

My Brother Sam is Dead Keynote Journal: For each chapter I wrote a little summary with at least 3 pictures for the whole book. media type="custom" key="2382811"

After reading the book "My Brother Sam is Dead", Me and my group analyzed the character Betsy Read. We decided that she was really confident, dynamic, forceful, and as a whole she is a strong character. media type="file" key="Podcast.m4v"

Colonial Times Newspaper: This newspaper is supposed to be written in the 1770's, when the war had just begun it uses some places read from My Brother Sam is Dead.

Was Sam a positive role model for Tim, his younger brother? - This file is an essay answering this question. AND THE ANSWER IS : NOOOOO!

Spot the metaphors and similes -:) Poems are not only just words, they have meaning and some have been turned into songs. "The Rose" is a beautiful song with a lot of meaning in it. The Rose - Westlife media type="file" key="01 The Rose.mp3" Some say love it is a river That drowns the tender reed. Some say love it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger An endless, aching need I say love it is a flower, And you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken, Who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long. And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snow Lies the seed that with the sun's love, In the spring, becomes the rose.

NOTE: I TRIED TO PUT THESE IN THE CORRECT FORMAT HOWEVER IT JUST KEEPS BUNCHING UP.

This is a certain type of poem called a narrative poem, which means that the poem tells a story in some way. It was december of 2003- could it have been more jolly?with a sweet as honey smell cookies and milk sittingout on the warm great big red fireplace I lay with my eyes open Waiting for a chime and a "Ho,Ho,Ho"I wondered could he really be bigsoft and red as Rudolph's nose
 * Christmas**

Than I heard silver bells,I don'tknow if they were really silver but I heard them,I just knew it was the red guy

I sat up with my eyes widely openthan I heard the "Ho,Ho,Ho!"I could feel him. I heard him come down the fireplace. he was a mouse and thanI said "Boo!" he jumped a meter

Then he said "oh you naughty girl"this was unexpected! I was a straight "A"perfect student this couldn't be!! than he took a cookie and chuckledhe hand me a silver and told me thatmy present was a silver bell, I took a deep breath and in a blink he was gone. I wouldnever forget this Christmas Iran upstairs and fell asleep. When I woke up I felt strangethan I remember the big red as fireSanta Claus!!

This is a certain poem using symbolism. As you read the poem you'll understand that green and red probably represent christmas and so on. Christmas is green and red It was snowy and cold I snuck into my soft bed I thought Santa Claus is probably pretty old There was this bright light inside me I ran to my secret diary I turned the key And turned to a page that was fiery Than I heard these bells I heard a dog bark I saw a red nose and these angry yells I remember I wanted a shark I saw the big red guy He put a great big red present He grunted and said "bow a tie!"boy was that random but the roof was bent!
 * Christmas**

 Merry Christmas!!  Have a Great Break

This is a certain type of poem called a villanelle. Villanelle's should include 19 lines, 5 tercets and 1 quatrain, as well as 10 syllables per line. Is this the beautiful dark starry night? There is the loud big red scary freight train Beyond the hills we see a cottage light
 * The Night**

In the distance we see a silver knight He comes toward us showing pride and fame Is this the beautiful dark starry night?

Evaporates in a thin mist of white This feeling was not real it was a game Beyond the hills we see a cottage light

We see that it is a beautiful site We run across the flowery green lane Is this the beautiful dark starry night?

At last we get to the cottage and bite the cottage is made of cookies and grain Beyond the hills we see a cottage light

I see the children outside in great fright I bring the beautiful children right in Is this the beautiful dark starry night? Beyond the hills we see a cottage light
