“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.
