Memorian to my Past

I always thought he'd be the one, but we could never work it out.
I could always turn to you, which is why I loved you.
I have tried and nothing
So I gave up, and i feel nothing
I have moved on
and have promised my heart to the man that was always there

Between Heaven and Hell

Can you hear me screaming.
Can you here me cry.
Can you see me dying.
Do even notice.
Do you even care .
What do I have to do.
What do I have to say.
I'm reaching and I'm climbing.
So someone came knocking.
But as I tried to open the door, I felt this electric
shock, go through my heart, brain, and spine....
Darkness then light.
Where was I, hell and heaven
then I saw his face
golden, like the golden gates that await you in heaven.
Then he spoke to me and said " La Tanya I have a bigger plan for you in Heaven" Then an angel appers and takes my hand and guides me to freedoom.

Love Affairs

Who writes about love. The ones who do don't realize that it's not love their writing about it's the insecurities they have. Who is to say how someone thinks and feels ............ nobody. Personally i don't think teenager have a clue what love is. Love is pain, death, and darkness. Love can make even the happiest people feel dark and melancholy. If you read teenager girls Myspace's what do they mostly consist of.Examples are " He's mine and all mines","Why can't he see that I'm the one for him",and the most famous one " That's my man and all the B****es who want him can't have him". That's not love it's obsession and insecurities.Don't let the fear of losing a boy control your emotions.

Life

Whoever said that life was a gift was a liar. Life is Hell and the only people who actually enjoy life are ones that communicate with the devil. Life is a test,for God. By looking down at us he judges us and when the day comes we have our day and were stuck in the midest of pergatory. As the souls of Gods creation, wait for their judgement day the reat of us continue our quest in LIFE.

My Ambition and Distress

I will never again hear the words from anybody that “You don’t have the mentality to do this”. I feel that many adults have this idea that if surprise them with a masterpiece that I couldn’t possibly do that. To say that I can’t do something is like to tell a child that he can’t be whoever he want s to be when he grows up. It will untimely crush them.
When someone says “I’m proud of you La Tanya” and really means it, it’s the best feeling in the world. On the other hand when someone told me that I couldn’t write on deeper meaning I couldn’t believe my ears. I felt my ambition drop and I knew that I didn’t want to be a writer anymore. It crushed me to know that they had little faith in me. Maybe I thought to myself that I really wasn’t a good writer, maybe it was all just an illusion. The one time that I really try on an essay I get turned down because my teacher thought I was a cheater. I felt alone, I felt dark and as if the curtain had been pulled and it was actually on robes that controlled my actions.

“In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a prerequisite.

This quote means that knowledge is something that just comes to you and if you practice it enough its not just something you have to do to be somebody or to get somewhere it becomes you you are. Without knowledge what would we have alot but the next generation would be screwed up and it would be our faults because we didn't believe in knowledge and i think its important that we ready the next generations to come .

poetry sounds

At first, I thought rhyme was the sound of music, but I learned that rhyme is the repeating of the sound of the stressed vowel and any sounds that follow.
An example of a poem with end rhyme is below
Little about passion

Passion kills,
Passion thrills,
Passion fills,
with a sense of purpose..........

Passion may chill,
Passion makes ill,
Passion is still,
Pain mistaken as passion........
The title is Passion Kills,and the author is Mahfooz Ali.The rhyme scheme is end rhymes.
On my poetry pretest, I was below grade level.
On my posttest, I hope that I will be above grade level.

"Imagery and Figurative Language."

At first, I thought imagery was a picture in a poem,but I learned that this was wrong.Actually, imagery is language that appeals to the five senses.
I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was was different kind of languages, but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of another and is not meant to be understood on a literal level.
The three main types of figurative language are, similes,metaphors, and personification.

The best figurative language game I played tonight is Funbrain paint idoms, because it was a great wayway to learn new idioms. In order to play this game i had to math the idiom to its literal meaning. My final score on this game was 7 correct and 3 incorrect. If you would like to play this game go to http://www.funbrain.com/idioms/index.html.

Another enjoyable figurative language game is Thinkquest, because it teaches you what an idom is and how to classify one.In order to play this game, I had to click on the sentences that were idoms. My final score on this game was an 100 because i got all of them correct.If you would like to play this game go to http://library.thinkquest.org/J0112392/simile.html.

My least favorite figurative language game is kids on the net, because you have a ceratin amount of time to match the words.In order to play this game, you must match the sentencexs with the correct metaphor.My final score on this game was an 100 percent. you want to play this game, go to this link http://www.kidsonthenet.org.uk/dragonsville/metaphor1.htm.
