My Dog 2

My dog will go crazy for a treat,
or some cheese,
or some meat,
whatever the treat,
be it cheese nor meat,
her big brown eyes,
just say please,
saying no,
is not an ease,
everyone tries,
but no one succeeds.

Blogging

Blogging is kind of hard,
I really don't like it,
I'd rather run three hundred yards,
or for ten kids I'd baby sit,
all these words are from my heart,
blogging is my least favorite part.

Mary Poppins Literary Analysis

What would it be like to have a magic nanny? That’s just what the children experience in “Mary Poppins” by P.L. Travers. Mary is a magic nanny that takes the children on crazy magical adventures. An example would be taking the kids into a drawing on the sidewalk. Or walking from roof to roof, using clouds to cross the gaps. I think “Mary Poppins” by P.L. Travers is a romance for many reasons.

One reason is because of the plotline. The first point on the romance plotline is a minor conflict. The minor conflict is Mr. Banks, the children’s father, could care less about the children. He doesn’t really want anything to do with them. He’s also always grumpy and doesn’t like singing, happiness, and so on. The next, and last, point on the plotline is life symbolism. The life symbolism is that Mr. Banks realizes that he’s been a bad father and becomes nice rather than being grumpy all the time. I find that the plotline of the story matches the romance plotline perfectly. I also think that the characteristics match too.
Another reason is because of the characteristics. The characteristics are the main character (M.C.) is in control, the M.C. can do no wrong, unrealistic, good is strong and powerful, bad is weak and laughable, and everything seems better than they really are. Mary Poppins was the M.C. and she was in control, could do no wrong, and had magic powers. Mary, Bert, and the children were strong and powerful and then Mr. Banks was weak and laughable. And their Mrs. Banks’ friend was taken to jail for promoting women’s rights but Mrs. Banks thought it was okay because she passed out flyers on the way. I think that it fits in the romance plotline quite well.

There wasn’t very much symbolism that I could find. Some of the symbolism includes light rain, horses, and birds. When Mary took the children to the park it started to lightly rain. When Bert was the chimney sweep, he was walking down the street and he stops to greet someone, meanwhile a horse-drawn carriage rode by in the background. And lastly, the birds are from the story Mary told the children before they went to bed and again when Mr. Banks took them to the bank. I’m not certain if birds are romance symbolism but I’m pretty sure they are.

As you can see “Mary Poppins” by P.L. Travers fits the romance plotline. I think that “Mary Poppins” is a romance for previously stated reasons. You should read “Mary Poppins” too because it was a great book. And hopefully you would agree that it’s a romance too.

Winter

I love it when it snows,
although it might not show,
I really do like winter,
even if I hate the cold,
winter will always be there,
even when I'm old,
even when I have no hair,
winter will be there.

My Dog

My dog is very dumb,
she ran into a wall.
My dog is also troublesome,
and she's only one foot tall.

I'm allergic to something and I don't know what it is

A long time ago, I went to a new restaurant with my family. The restaurant was really fancy and the food was great. Afterwords we went to a movie. About half way through the movie my arm started itching. When we got home I had a huge red blotch on my arm. The next morning I had a lot more all over. I didn't know what the ingredients were (of course), so therefore I don't know what I'm allergic to.

Monkeys

Having a pet monkey,
would be kinda funky.
But also cool,
cause you could brag at school.

Fruit

Fruits are good for you,
You can eat them whole or drink their juice,
Fruit is important in a balanced diet,
If you don't eat them then you should try it.

Patriotism

Imagine living in a country where nobody cared. Nobody would care about what will happen to our country. No one would care to protect our country. Would you want to live in a place like that? Patriotism is important because it affects our country in a big way.

If nobody cared the United States would be an unsafe place to live. There wouldn’t be police or a fire department. No military or National Guard. The United States would be vulnerable to terrorism and natural disasters. We would be in complete chaos.

Not only would the United States be unsafe without patriotism, but also an inadequate place to live. Because there wouldn’t be a fire department, one fire would affect anything around it. People wouldn’t care and litter, contaminating wildlife and water sources. Since we wouldn’t have police, people could commit crimes without consequences. Every bad thing that could possibly happen would be about ten times worse.

The United States would be the last place anyone would want to live. The actions of the country would be uncontrollable. Patriotism is important because it affects our country in a big way.
