My ,Scooby Doo (=

"Scooby dooby doo where are you ?
We got some work to do now !"
the words i sang so loud and proud every 30 minutes of the day
the part of this theme i admired most
the on song i felt lifted me
"Scooby dooby doo where are you?"
those words in my mind all day long
i sang and sang and sang and sang and sang
"Scooby dooby do where are you "
Where did he go?
he is gone
now his places in my heart is filled with hanging out and rap and pop
where has he gone?
AWAY far in where the children play
he is no longer in my section
I am no longer that little tom boy that loved adventures and SCOOBY DOO
I now love parties and hanging out ...
so where has he gone?
away
      away
far far away

Independent Reading Book: Thou Shall Not Dump the Skater Dude

My independent reading book is about a girl. This girl is 13 years old and has to move to california. This girl has been living in virginia ever since she was born . Now her mother is making her move so she can live her dream, being a lawyer. But the main character doesnt like this because she feels that her mom isnt thinking about her feelings. But her mom told her that she gave up her dream before because she had to have her . But the main character took it the wrong way, she started thinking things like , "then why did she even have me?"
I can understand why she would think that though. In the book it makes it sound like the mother IS trying to tell her that its all her fault . But i know she doesnt mean it like that. The main character feels like her life is going to turn upside down because she is in the middle of eighth grade and now she has to move to a school with totally different people.
But it turns out when she moves it isnt so bad , she makes friends right away an soon finds a cute boy <3. As the year went on she found out that, that same cute kid likes her too. They end up being together as "boyfriend and girlfriend". Everything is fine untill....... their relationship starts to hit a bumpy road. Now she is starting to feel like she should move back to california.
I can understand how she feels because i would be upset to move out of the country in the middle of eighth grade too because i already have my friends and know everybody and know what to do. By her moving she has to start a TOTALLY different life and has to meet with TOTALLY different people. If i was her i would just go along with everything and make myself as comfortable as possible. Now about the " skater dude" i think that if their relationship is hitting a bumpy road then she should just dump him because she has enough drama as it is . New place , new job and new....... PEOPLE.

Fatima's Blog

I liked fatima's blog because she really shows who she is through her poems.She really opens up to us and talks about her persoal problems goin on atr home and stuff. Fatimas poems really touched me because even thought i dont know her uncle or family, her poems kind of make me feel like i am in the family too even thought im not =).

Response to The Starry Night

         When we first read this poem as a class i thought " wow this persons a phsyco" . It turns out the person was infact in a crazy home. But other than seeing that, I also started to see a picture in my head. The picture was stars in a dark sky with a moon poking out from the corner. Then i started to see it as a literal thing , the line that says "sucked up by that great big dragon, to split" i saw a dragon painted big in the middle surrounded by the village.
          It turns out i was kind of right. There was starsand there was a moon and there was a village. But that big dragon that i had seen wasnt actually a dragon; it was a black castle. From seeing the painting , the poem didnt seem the same in my head anymore. it seemed as iff everything in the painting was bad and dark. Other than before when i thought it was just a deep dark night like we have here in brooklyn.
         I liked how the author used a dragon to represent the crazy home that he was in because it sort of made me feel his pain. By comparing that crazy home to a dragon , your saying that its scary,dangerous and dark. I think that was a very strong and smart way of showing his pain and fright in that place. That was a great metaphor.

Response to pride

I wrote a ppoem called "pride". this poem is based on a movie that me and my class seen in spanish class , its called "Entre Nos". this movie was about a women that was not wealthy and her husband left her wit two kids. this women struggled to get her and her kids through life but she did it and ended up successfull in the end. My poem relates to this movie in so many different ways. For example the lines
"You say im dumb?
Ill prove you wrong"
in the begining of the movie the man treated her like she was a nobody and will never be one and at the end of the movie she was somebody and she did it all on her own.
My poem is a pretty short poem but inside each and every line has a whole story to it. This film "Entre Nos" which means "Between Us" is based on a true story. That is one of the reasons why i wrote this poem. I felt strongly about this film so i decided "hey, if i write a poem it would show what i think the mother in this story is going through". I hope i showed that.

Pride

I stand strong

You ain’t puttin’ me down

You say I’m weak?

Ill move along

You say I’m dumb

Ill prove you wrong

You yell at me?

Ill yell right back

You talk bout’ me?

You just talk smack

You aint nothin’

You aint no man

Aint givin me your helpin hand

Im all alone

You just left

You stuck me with this F***ing mess!

But its all good

Im doin’ fine

I BEEN had you off my mind

I found a new

I know HE cares

Aint leavin me for no one else

Im full of pride

Its in me

You’re the one that’s empty

So how does it feel?

That constant sigh

You put me through it

So GOOD BYE

You are weak!

I stand strong

And I have moved far

         Far

                         FAR  ALONG

Opposites

I’m Fat

Short

Goofy

And UN popular

My socks don’t match

My pony tails to the side

Medal surrounds my mouth

I may have my flaws and I let them show

I’m simply me, and I ’ma let them know

I’m Slim

Tall

Sophisticated

Popular

My clothes are designer

My hair is long and silky

Whiteness glistens as I smile

I may have my flaws but I don’t let them show

That side of me, I refuse to let them know

Different

I dress different

Jordans, jeans, and a hoodie

My hair is not the same

Curly, thick, and wild

All these difference’s I could tell

I look at you and look at me

With your expensive Prada, Coach, and Gucci

When people look at you that is all they see

Nothing more

They then look at me

But all I got is personality

Insecurities

You see nothing but a low life

Dumb, trouble making girl

And think nothing more besides “she must be a whore”

I see a regular teenage girl

Who gets misunderstood

Makes mistakes

And try’s to do good

But she doesn’t care what people think anymore

Her insecurities are all out the door

Down She Goes

I walk out , and what do i see?
Something cold ,white and fluffy
I walk and walk to meet my friends
This is where the story begins
We say our heys, We say our hi's
Its not quite time for goodbyes
WE start our journey  , we move along
Then she starts to sing a song
Doopidy- dee doopidy- dow
All of a sudden we hear PLOP-OWWW!!
There she was , down on the floor
The singing had stopped , she hadn't sang anymore
We all laughed , when turned around Then I fell on the ground

Poem on work of art

Ashamed

Ashamed of who i once was now that this has became reality
Every Hug
Every Kiss
Every Touch
Dont know what i went into
I thought it was right
But who was i kiddin'
Night after night
Was him i was missin'
Mistakes i regret
The love i ain't get
Replaced by love with a fool
Should've been you
                   Should've been you
                                      Should've been you
