 * Bop to the Top**

Mucho Gusto Aye que fabulosa Rrrrr aye aye AYE Arrriba ¿Quieres bailar? Mirame

I believe in dreaming
 * And shooting for the stars**

Baby to be number one You got to raise the bar

Kicking and a scratching Grinding out my best

Anything it takes to climb
 * The ladder of success**

Gotta bump the competition Blow them all away
 * Work our tails off everyday **

Caliente Suave

Yeah we're gonna

Bop bop bop, bop to the top Slip and slide and ride that rhythm

Jump and hop Hop until we drop

And start again Zip zap zop hop, **walk like a mop **

Scoot around the corner Move it to the groove Until the music stops

Do the bop bop bop To the top Don't ever stop Bop to the top Gimme gimme shimmy shimmy Shake some booty and turn around Flash a smile in their direction

Show some muscle Do the hustle

Yeah we're gonna Bop bop bop, bop to the top Wipe away your inhibitions

Stump stump stump, do the rump And strut your stuff

Bop bop bop, straight to the top We're going for the glory We'll keep stepping up and we just won't stop

Till we reach the top Bop to the top

This is a song called Bop to the top by Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel. This song is from a movie called High School Musical, which became very famous few years ago. This song has a lot of rhymes, similes, and metaphors. One of the rhyming words in this song is on the second part from the bottom where it says "straight to the **top**.......... we just won't **stop**." Also, one example for the simile is where it says on the middle, "Zip zap zop hop, walk **like** a mop." In addition, there are several metaphors such as "shooting for the stars," "work our tails off everyday," and "the ladder of success."

1. Lyric Poem**
 * Different Kinds of Poems

Winter Cold

Here comes the winter Here comes the cold

Friends are gone to sleep Laying under cosy clean blankets Anywhere even steep All gone with thick furry jackets

No ray of light comes in As if the sun have fallen asleep No one around me, feeling my soar skin Hoping for the winter skip

Here comes the winter Here comes the cold

This is a lyric poem that I wrote. The poem describes about the coldness and the view of the winter. I tried to use vivid words and describe things as if we are looking at it. The main point of my poem is that it used rhymes, metaphors, and personification. One more thing I want to point out is that I repeated the same word on the first and last stanza that it might impress the readers more.


 * 2. Narrative poem**

Lost

One day of December A swoosh of wind that froze our feet People wrapped around with thick coats With rise of our heart beat It was the day it all started

"Mama, I'll come back soon." Stepped one foot out and looked back Then another and another... Still very certain to be back Left the first journey of my own

One step by step Over the mountains and over the hills As it got further from where I belong Unbelievable views came out like pills Uncomfortable, but still free

Slowly the views became unfamiliar Still walked with no sense of direction Led me towards fancy busy street Lost, drunken men floating above me Kicked and bumped with a weird beat

Searching through Trying to find for a way Nothing different, nothing possible Felt a drop of liquid Mad many string like streams flowing

Just then, a person rose up "Do you need any help?" Cried and shouted "Mom!" The man scared, putting down some coins Left away

With my entire heart pounding Ran to the phone box like a horse Drrrrrrrrr Drrrrrrrr "Hello?" "Mom!"

I wrote a narrative poem called Lost. This poem has a story of a young girl/boy. It is telling a story of the first day the speaker goes out for a journey without parents. Then the speaker gets lost and the poem tells you how the speaker overcome the situation. I tried to write this poem nicely by being the person in the poem and feel. Also, I attempted to use some quotation marks often.
 * 3. Symbol Poem**

Alone

Out in the cold No place to go I need someone to hold But only the wind step on my toe

As I run for some heat Only the wind; Most hated to meet Swoosh through my face, making me blind

It seems to last forever No way I can stop As time goes by, bothering me, the fever A heater on top

The worst feeling I ever had Not sleepy, not hungry Somethings got to be wrong in my head Not sad, not angry

This is the last poem I wrote through this lesson and I love this one the best! This poem is telling how the coldness make people lonely. The wind in the poem is a symbol of loneliness. In addition, I used two rhyming words on every single stanza in a typical order. However, I wasn't able to find a rhyming word for wind that I used near rhyme instead. I like this one the best because it expressed the speaker's feelings in a very poetic and creative way. Since I wrote it at the end, I felt like I improved compare to the first poem.

**Character Analysis**

Great job you two! Your assignments showed that you put a lot of effort into these assignments. Your character analysis was extremely thorough. You might have had the most quotes out of the entire class. Your story was also great. While some of the stories I have been reading have been stretching reality to the extreme, your story seems plausible and very similar to the original story. I liked the changes you made in reconstructing the story. I think you managed to include all of the story elements I was looking for.
