Grades

My Grade


            Why is a raven like a writing desk? Because it is in your room. Grades are determined by the work a student will give in their dedication to school. I believe I deserve the grade that my dedication to your class reflects and all that I have learned.
            Now I know what you are thinking, that I don’t deserve an A because my fluency and writing skills are not so great but, my spelling and writing a paragraph have really improved.
            I love when we do poetry! It is my favorite part of English. I am definitely going to remember TPFASTT, and how to analyze stories. I understand Shakespeare and I love his work! He was like the Albert with poems instead of math.
            I love to read, novels, poems, series, even fairy tales. When I read I always imagine that I was in the story trying to figure out how it will end. I love finding a character that is like me. I cannot wait to finish the hunger games in the summer! I plan to illustrate a little this summer as well. I am going to make a story about epic Mickey. I plan to write poems in the near future too.
            This is one of my three favorite classes’. I am very glad I had the privilege to be in your class and learn all that you have taught.
Thank you,
Natalie Flickinger

Villianella

My goals are far from each other,
how do they fit together?
From art to acting to a missionary

I love art from painting to drawing
with pencils and pens and markers too.
My goals are far from each other

I can't act but, I love to animate.
From cartoons to Disney characters
From art to acting to a missionary

I love helping people, from answering questions
to being humble in stead of being greedy.
My goals are far from each other.

From drawing to animating to being humble.
Which one should I choose?
I really don't know please commit.

I hope i"ll find the answer soon because
school is coming to a close for summer.
My goals are far from each other,
from art to acting to a missionary

Sonnet

What can you learn from a Captain?
Well how to escape and fight other,
How they hunt after mappen.
Why they run from there Mothers.

How to be cursed, 
How to take care of a monkey.
Why your ship doesn't burst,
How to walk funky.
 
So you learn hunting,
Stealing,and finding a mate.
How to be quick and cunning,
So maybe you'll get a date.

You'll be zooming away
While I'll be marooning someday.

Outside reading blog post

I was reminded of my six younger siblings being held hostige and only I could take there place or they would die when Katniss said she would volunteer to take Prim's place on reaping day. I fight with my siblings constently, but when it comes down to it. I would fight for them any day becuase I know that I could fight off someone better then a four year old or six. If I was in Katniss shoes I would do the same no matter if it was sarah who is all most two or callie that just turned fourteen. I can tell that Katniss is a great older sister. 

I wonder what is going to happen when Katniss gets to the capital. My predictions are they will get taken to the place where they will be competting. Meet the people they will try to be killing and have to share there storys about there districts. Get feed more awsome food and live like kings untill they leave for the areana. I know that Effie Trinket told them to listen to there opponets. Haymitch told them he would help them out at the arena if they don't worry about his liquor problem.

I noticed that Katniss and buttercup don't get along. If I was in Katniss shoes I would not like the cat eirther because just like the book said " it's just another mouth to feed." I also noticed that when Katniss was on the train she though that buttercup would curl up with Prim. I also noticed that Katniss recenised the guy who was picked and tolled a huge story about how she ran into him in the past. In other words had a flashback.


If I were Prim I would be scared for my sister and try to help out around the house. I would feel thankful to my sister that she vouenteer to take my place so I didn't have to die. I would try and help my mom with getting food and cooking.

I'd like to know if Katniss will live or die at the areana. I think if she makes a bow and has a lot of arrows she has a chance. I don't know how good the other people are but since she is the person telling to story she has a good chance there too.

Concrete poem

With paint and pencil. The way they make me Draw.I love with a Passion. I love to Color.I love to Paint.How about That.
the spaces mean a new letter the letters in order are ART.

Parent letter

Dear Parents
I notice that you get stressed because you have to drop off my brothers/sisters. I want to help you. Cars are a way to get around. I having three siblings at each house that I could drive to school, and I could drive to my dad’s.
Now I know what you’re going to say I need to get more practice at driving but, if I ask you more you could take me. That way I could get a permit.
I could drop off Adam, Will, Callie, and Miley. That way all you guys have to worry about Avery and Sarah. I could drop off Sarah if not Adam and will same with Avery. When Avery or Callie has dance I could drive them there. Mom, you are always rushing to get out the door and you wouldn’t have to, if I had a permit I could take mile’s. It would be less stress on you to get them to school on time and still get to work at a reasonable time.  
I could drive to my dad’s so you don’t have to meet him half way ever time. I could also go to school from my dad’s. That why I get a good night sleep on Sunday night by not coming home so late. I could drive to church because I know that Gammy’s moving and soon she will not be able to take me. I don’t want my loving parents to have to drive so far instead of being home.
All in all I think that getting a permit would help you more than me. By getting me a permit means more time for you at home.  You would not have to worry about the payment for my permit. My goal in life is to make your life more relaxed not more stressed.

Sincerely,
Natalie Flickinger
