Rock-A-Bye, Baby
Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green;Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen;And Betty's a lady, and wears a gold ring;And Johnny's a drummer, and drums for the king
1) I picked this poem because it was a twist on a classic luliby
2)the title of the poem is just the first phrase of the poem, the author keeps it simple by doing so.
3)the poet uses personifiction and imagery to paint a picture of the story for the reader.
4)the tone of the piece is kind of.... sleepy and old, like even when it was first written had a older feel to it.

titles

1) alcoholism: things that ruined my family

2) family: troubled past

3) Me: Ending the pattern

long weeks only seem long when your in the middle of them

this week has been dragging on for ever, its only tuesday but it seems like a thursday. yesterday i had a playing test in orchestra, which i hate because my teacher makes you get up infront of the whole class to play. For some unknown reason i have been in orchestra since the fifth grade, and have hated it since the fifth grade. I don't really know why i am in that class i guess its the make the adults around me happy and it looks good for college. anyways that made my day seem really long, and today i just can't sit still and im here in the classroom all day. i guess long weeks only seem longer when your only half way there.

my knee

In the ninth grade i got supper sick and was out of school for a couple of months, it sucked. when i was sick my body sent messages to my knee saying that it was infected, when it really wasn't. because it did this my body basically turned on itself and end result is this nasty fluid behind my knee cap. whenever it goes from being really hot out side to really cold outside the fluid comes back. The way they get rid of the fluid is by sticking a needle in your leg that goes up behind the knee cap and inject it, that really sucks too. anyways the reason im blogging about that to day is because its the season that goes from super hot to super cold and the fluid came back. so this morning i got the shot, but instead of just behing the knee cap it went into the knee cap and out of the four times i have done this today was the worst one ever.

personal narrative

As the date got closer, and closer my brother got more and more excited. Three days later my mom said that my grand father was sick, and christmas would most likely be at our house which was disappointing because it was a tradition to have it at his lake house. But the biggest dissapointment of all was that she would probly not be at the celebration. The next my grand father died, my brother and i did not know what was happening so we asked around but either they said that they didn't know or they just didn't want to talk about it. After my grandpa died my dad seemed really distant, we could go days and weeks without even hearing or seeing from him. those were some of the darkest days in my family.

weekend

this weekend was the best weekend i have had since the beginning of school, see since school started my weekends have been filled with school shopping and homework and other really fun activities(not really). this weekend though, this weekend was different i got to watch college football all saturday,which had some of the best games of the season this far the. The Oregon vs. Purdue game which went to double over time was really good. On the other had the Ohio st. vs. USC game was terrible, it was a blow away. This weekend i also got to sleep in which made me feel so good. Sunday was a lazy sleepy day which makes me sleepy and rememb all of the homework i forgot to do, such as my blogging
