English8B: Vocabulary Homework 2/19/2009**__ This document is was homework from Mr. Digges; we had to find the definition of the word, short sentence of it, and we had to find a picture for each of the words.


 * Jack, Most of your sentences are correct. However, there are some that need some attention. Make sure you look at some examples before you use the words. It will make it easier for you to create your own sentences. Also, make sure that your pictures prove to me that you understand the meaning of the word. Just because Google or some other search engine tell you that a picture represents a word doesn't mean it actually does. You are a smart boy, decide if the picture is right or not.**


 * When it comes to your character analysis, you do a good job to have descriptions and quotes for each of the assigned characters. However, you need to make sure the quotes help me understand who the character really is. Some of your quotes do not reveal anything new to me. Also, there are some quotes which are repeated.**


 * Lastly, let me discuss your story. There were parts of the story which I thought were brilliant. There were also parts of the story which I thought were boring and showed laziness on your behalf. You were able to reconstruct the story in such a creative way, I don't understand why you weren't consistent with it. Your characters were good and very creative. So far, this is the only story that has been reconstructed this way. Most of the other stories still revolve around a kid pretending to be an adult. This was not the case with yours. Aside from that, you had some very choppy transitions. There were times where I wasn't sure what was happening in the story. I was able to figure it out because I am familiar with the story, but if I was not, then I would have been totally lost. You stayed consistent with the story for the most part, but, there were certain aspects of the original story that I wish you would have included in your story. You did a nice job with this project. It could have been a whole lot better, but you would have had to work harder for that.

English8B: Symbolic Poem Symbolic Poem that I found.

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903 Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance 5 I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeoning of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, 10 And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: 15 I am the captain of my soul. English8B: Narrative Poem Writing __This is a poem that I wrote on December 2008 which was our homework. For the homework we had to write a narrative poem with 8 stanzas. This poem is not actually about the 'soft' marshmallow; the marshmallows are represented as things around your desk that disturbs you when you study.__ Bad Marshmallow Bad Marshmallow

I am doing my homework for Mr. Digges I am so proud of me that I am concentrating so well I am working hard like the leaves photosynthesizing on the twigs And like a man ringing the church bell

I just finished a stanza I see a marshmallow in front of me I tore off the leaves to decide to eat it or not I feel like deciding rather it is ‘a’ or ‘e’ in a spelling bee

I pressed it I took a bite of it I played ping-pong with it And finally I ate the whole marshmallow

I see white snow in my mouth I see crowds of people eager to take the snow out of my mouth I miss the warmth of south Oh I should run away from these people to south

Oh I see coconut dancing Oh I see mangoes dancing Oh I see bananas dancing Oh I am now really at south

What? I see icebergs What? I see polar bears What? I see igloos I think I am too far south

Now let me fo back to my home sweet home My house is not full of Gnomes My house is not at Rome My house is very cozy and everybody wants to come

I suddenly see a scary face Oh no it is Mr. Digges I feel like falling in to a hole right next to the white finishing line in a marathon race Ok, I’ll just go back and work like the leaves on the twigs again

See me ride out of that sunset On your color TV screen Out for all that I can get If you know what I mean Women to the left of me And women to the right Ain't got no gun, ain't got no knife Don't you start no fight

'Cause I'm T.N.T I'm dynamite T.N.T And I'll win the fight T.N.T I'm a power load T.N.T Just watch me explode

I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean I'm a wanted man Public enemy number one Ya Understand So lock up your daughter n' lock up your wife Lock up your back door and run for your life The man is back in town So don't you mess me 'round

'Cause I'm T.N.T I'm dynamite T.N.T And I'll win that fight T.N.T I'm a power load T.N.T Just watch me explode

T.N.T oi, oi, oi T.N.T oi, oi, oi T.N.T oi, oi, oi T.N.T oi, oi, oi T.N.T I'm dynamite oi, T.N.T And I'll win the fight oi, T.N.T I'm a power load oi, T.N.T Watch me explode
