My poem

School is so lame
everything is about doing well
test marks, exam marks
its like running a race

School is mainly hell
you are always waiting for the bell
it is a dreaded place
but you will still do your work for some ace ;)

Nevertheless, school is still our second home
it keeps us from being alone
it provides us with knowledge
we have no choice but to acknowledge

School can be fun
school can be boring
school is for everyone
school is about scoring.

My favourite poem

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

1. The figurative language is used in this poem as hyperbole (Past the pits where the asphalt flowers go)

2. I like this poem because it is about a place where things are better than they are here.The poet uses words like "peppermint wind" to show the childlike glow that this imaginary place has”. These words are setting the mood for our imaginations to take over and think of an amazingly perfect place. The poet is trying to get us away from the "place where the smoke blows black " .He is saying that we should free ourselves from the world full of pollution and concrete and go to the beautiful place where the sidewalk ends. He is saying that if we could all believe in things like the sidewalk coming to an end in a magical place we would stop with so much of our polluting and wastefulness.

Alice in wonderland

Review

In my opinion, I feel that the movie was quite interesting. The storyline is very different from the actual Alice in wonderland book. The storyline is more based on the storyline of the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. The bad thing about the movie is that its 3D rendering was not as good as I expected, as compared to movies like Avatar. But overall the movie was okay. If you like the book, I recommend going to see the movie as watching everything taking place before your eyes is quite a experience, very different from just reading the book.

Differences between the book and movie

1.The jabbawooky did not appear in the book

2.There was no white queen in the book

3.The red queen did not have so much control

4.Alice was older in the movie

5.There was no battle between the white queen and the red queen on a chess board
