| Dreams Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. Langston Hughes This poem is about dreams, obviously, it shows how dreams can be forgotten, and when you lose your dreams you can be in big trouble. This poem shows that you should stick to your dreams and never give them up. You have to be determined. I liked this poem, because of this reason that it explains what dreams mean to a person. I liked how the poet compared dreams dying to a broken winged bird. He also compared the poem to snow and the cold. I really thought this poem was interesting. |

What is a poem?
Poetry is like a bird singing
under the falling sky. The bird is
showing it's feelings with no one
to stop it. Poetry is like birds flying
together, Poetry shows freedom and brings unison.

Dead Dream Poem
What Happens to a Dead Dream?
Does it get buried in a grave, or does it
have a heart attack like an average citizen?
Does it have a soul, or does it have a future?
Maybe it just disappears into the night sky
like a white feather.
Or does it stay as a stone in your heart?
Starry Vincent Night
Starry Night is a night that is extremely bright.
Scaring the Darkness, Only if Vincent was
appreciated, Starry Night would light up their
hearts.
Stars will shine down the sky with joy, Vincent's
starry starry night shows his sealed heart. ONLY
ONLY if everyone understood his work.

Vincent Van Gogh
Starry Night
This is a painting that was made by Vincent Van Gogh.
This picture shows most of Vincent's feelings. He drew this
painting when he was in an asylum. It shows a little town with a church .
It also shows swirling wind, swarming near big yellow balls, seem to be stars.
It shows a hillside and a big tree in the left corner.
I like Vincent's paintings, because they resemble a piece of Van Gogh's life.
For example the church resembles the fact that Van Gogh's father used to work
at a church, and Vincent's father wanted him to work there too, but Vincent wasn't cut
out for the job. Vincent also was like a unsatisfactory replacement in his parents eyes, because
he had a brother with the same name who died when he was 3 days old. When the 2nd baby
was born (vincent) they thought he was unsatisfactory. They thought that the 1st baby would have brought them more of a future. His parents also sent him away to a different town, because they didn't think he was cut out for anything they wanted. He loved to paint, but no one actually liked it or ever gave them a second
thought. Later on in his life, he cut off his ear lob, because he was so depressed about people not liking his art
works.
I feel really bad for him.. He had to go through so much, his life was filled with sorrows. I can't believe how his own parents treated him. They were rude.
If he was alive now I would have admired his art works a lot. He was an amazing artist.

Azkaban!!!!!!!!!!!! Magical Reunion to Sirius
I am reading the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I love the way Harry gets reunited to his Godfather. It happens when Harry is in his 3rd year in Hogwarts. Harry has been seeing these wanted posters of a criminal named Sirius Black. He escaped a high-facility base named AZKABAN. Harry is scared of Sirius, because he heard rumors, that Sirius is on the lose and he is going to kill Harry Potter.
Harry and his friends dared to go and look for Sirius. When Ron( harry's best friend ) got pulled under a reaping tree, Harry and Hermione went chasing after. When they got in they saw Sirius and Lupin ( Harry's Dark Arts Teacher) Lupin and Sirius seemed to be good friends. Harry was confused until Sirius broke it to him that he is his godfather. This is Harry's only family.
I thought this part in the book was really touching, because it shows that even if your parents died you still have family. Family and friends.

RED PYRAMID AND THE MAGIC ( Spoiler )
I have read the book Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan . It is an amazing kind of book , but instead of Greek mythology it has Egyptian Hieroglyphs. It is about a boy and his sister, who find out that there parents were magicians. The kids find out that they are the most powerful wizards when they are together. But when they are separated they don't have so much of a magical impact. They also meet a bunch of Egyptian gods. They
find out that their lovely cat is actually a cat god.
The boy and girl have to face this evil monster god within the 5 days they have. On the fifth day the monster god is at its strongest hour. That's when he has the most power than everyone. On the fifth day it was his birthday. Last time on his birthday he made a huge sand storm that made the Sahara desert. But at that time the boy's and girl's parents saved the world from ending, now its there turn to fight it. The monster came from an old tomb,that the boys dad opened, and now the dad's soul is trapped in it.
I won't spoil it anymore now you guys better find the ending. Remember magic never ends in books.
