Specific nonfiction topics I like are phenominomes. My favorite one is called the Devil's Tramping Ground. It is a circle in the middle of the woods. No plant life can grow in the circle or near the circle. Peole camp there and when they wake up they are somewhere out of the circle. There are a whole lot more but this one is the one I know the most about.

I call dibs on if blood is red why are vains blue!!!!

My favorite poem is Whatif by Shel Silverstein.

Last night, while I lay thinking here,

some Whatifs crawled inside my ear

and pranced and partied all night long

and sang their same old Whatif song:

Whatif I'm dumb in school?

Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?

Whatif I get beat up?

Whatif there's poison in my cup?

Whatif I start to cry?

Whatif I get sick and die?

Whatif I flunk that test?

Whatif green hair grows on my chest?

Whatif nobody likes me?

Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?

Whatif I don't grow talle?

Whatif my head starts getting smaller?

Whatif the fish won't bite?

Whatif the wind tears up my kite?

Whatif they start a war?

Whatif my parents get divorced?

Whatif the bus is late?

Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?

Whatif I tear my pants?

Whatif I never learn to dance?

Everything seems well, and then

the nighttime Whatifs strike again!

This is my favorite oem because it is very funny. It also makes me feel bad for this person because they are worrying about alot of different things. I like alot of poems by Shel Silverstein.

My favorite poem is Whatif by Shel Silverstein. This is my favorite poem because I like repetition and end rhyme. My favorite poetic device is end rhyme. Topics of poems I like are mystery and comody. I like these because they make me laugh and make me think hard. I think that we will use all of the different devices we already learned nd many more. My creative poem might be about something funny in my life.

For this blog assingment I am doing Russia. Most Christian Russians belong to the Eastern Orthodox Church, and it is coustumary to fast until after the first church service on January 6, Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve a traditional meal called: " The Holy Supper" is served. The meal begins when the first evening star appears in the sky. The family gathers around the table to honer the coming of the Christ Child. A white tablecloth, symbolic of Christ's swaddleing clothes covers the table. I like how the Russains wait until the first evening star appears in the sky to start the Holy Supper. I also like how they fast until after the first chuch sevice on January 6.

I liked when Ellen finally got to the Jolly Fox Tavern and gave the bread to Mr. Shannon. The best part in Toliver's Secret was when she had to ride the British ship to get to Elizibeth Town. I felt bad for Ellen when she didn't arrive in Elizibeth Town. I thought that it was funny when she had to get her bread from a boar. At least the boar was on a rope so it couldn't get her. The book Toliver's Secret was a very good book.
