Rolling Thunder

Clouds that create an ominous fear

As the thunder makes one stop and hear

A curtain of rain comes into sight

The blue sky is now as black as night

Though there are no stars to break the black

Lightning is the only thing that brings the light back

But the light is so quick and fleeting

That thunder is heard as the lightning is retreating

This great booming noise fills the air

Causing everything to stand on edge even ones hair

This is one of the beauties of nature

But it is also one of its deadliest creatures

Thunder follows a great flash of light

And gives many children a fright

But we know that there is always an end

A rainbow greeting us like an old friend.

The Light of the Night

The Sun slowly creeps out of sight

Reds and oranges bleed into the night

A bright black is falling upon the land

As the moon rises above the reddish orange band

This is the time where the night is brightest

Because the darkness cannot fade the lightest 

Part of the day, where the light is slowly going away

When white turns to gray

But gray turns to black

This black corruption takes the night back

To its dark state of no sun nor light

It creates the darkness of night

Where the owls hunt and cry

While we sleep to try 

To avoid the dark murky

 Color that covers the sky.

Music

For this post I chose the Ac Dc classic highway to hell. I saw a lyrical base of a trimeter which was anapest. This song begins with liv-ing easy, liv-ing free so you can obviously see the anapest trimeter there. It continues throughout the song. This shows that this sang is meant to be sung quickly and evenly.

I found that there was a pattern of consance throughout this song. This I believe gives it the rough feel that the lyrics entail. The relation of Hs gives the song like  a hissing sound that you would hear from like a car engine. And the song is about highways and cars and such. This repletion of hs gives it the mode that fits.

Portfolio Project

For my portfolio project i  chose my literacy analysis. I chose this project because i saw small changes that i could make to make it a better paper over all. I also like writing this paper. This made me want to revisit it.

Also i saw many comments that said i'm confused and that is something i would like to change. This topic i wrote about i thought was a great one and one that i though could use a little more elaboration. This Paper will be the most polished one i have done all year.

Jane Goodall

The problem of plagiarism is a big one. Yet there are certain scales that people's plagiarism is placed on. These scales are determined by the person accused. You have the student scale based by grade. You have the adult scale based on educational background. The biggest and worst scale the famous author. Jane Goodall lands on the famous author scale.

Jane Goodall is a famous Primatologist who has writen a book, that has had some problems with plagiarism. She plagiarized websites like Wikipedia. This is a fairly major offense. Plus to add insult to injury she basically copied entire passages without giving credit. Overall Jane Goodall's offense was a bad one.

Nervous Conditions

This book was a good eye opener. I believe that I should be kept for many years to come. It could teach many people at this school not to take things for granted. This book also bring us into African Culture and expands our horizons.

This book could use some tweeking though. I think that the work was jammed into a short period of time. Because personally it took much longer to read one chapter of this book than it did to read three of Lord of the Flies. This is becasue the book is boring. Also we did the projects and they should too.

On the other hand the projects are too close together.They need to be more dragged out. Like have one project due every week so that the students have more time to read. I also think that there should be more little quizes. To even out the points.

Finnally i think some of the work is tedious and could be modified. Like the play list could be shortened a little. Finding a song is hard enough but having to write a paragraph about it. And the essays should be more points.
