my research-the Diversity of African art

African artist create artworks that highlight the dynamics of African traditons. Tradition based art help shape and reflect functional and a esthetic canons. Their artwork is used in everyday things such as cerimonial setting ect. Humans and animals are the primary subjects in African art. The creators of tradition-based African art are unknown and their names were never recorded.

poetry response

"Fat is Not a Fairy Tale" is a good poem it is about someone who wishes that in fairytales there were fat princess instead of skinny ones. I believe that this is a good poem because it is criticizing to some big (overweight) girls. Fairytales make them think because they are fat they can’t be a princess but this poem helps a lot and I think it will bring up some of their confidence. This poem tells that some people don’t think that all people are skinny and that you should not make them as if they are. If you don’t believe me read it for yourself.

Angrily detective Spooner stood in front of a thousand and one robots. Looking for this one robot in particular, that killed the doctor, its creator. Doctor Calvin was shocked at detective Spooner’s behavior. She thought to herself what has gotten into him maybe he has lost all of his sense.

The situation

One afternoon while Keri Hilson was driving along I-40 she spotted someone along the side of the road trying to wave her down. When she was young her mom had warned her about people like that and told her never to stop for them. But this one particular time she couldn’t help it she thought it looked like Cleopatra she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her so she pulled over to take a look. What she saw was a surprise to her it was Cleopatra. She almost fainted as she rolled her window down enough to talk to her.

fill in the blank poem

love is to open sky as
loathing is to black clouds
love can be like
a peaceful day
loathing can be like
a wildfire when its raining gasoline
are you wondering if I love you
or if I loath you
donn't be afraid because
up is like down if live has
anything to do with it

my personal choice a poem by my niece miciara

Dark images flood my mind
Terror controls my body
I feel vunerable and hopeless
squinting into the the dark, shadows
appear vengeful and agressive like a
tyrant wreaking havoc on citizens

She wanted him to talk to her so badly she was too shy to say anything to him to let him know that she didn’t think he was foolish. She was so upset at herself on the way home for being so shy she had the perfect opportunity to talk to him but she didn’t. She was so mad she could kick herself. She wondered if he loved her the same way that she loved him. She was thinking so hard she almost forgot where she lived and drove right past her house. Her parents started throwing questions at her about what took her so long and why she passed the house. She had to explain that the checkout boy dropped the mayonnaise and that she couldn’t concentrate--that’s why she passed the house. She went up to her room and thought about him all night.

2 lies and 1 truth

#1 One summer I went to magic springs it was the funniest place ever. My family and I did everything we went on the wave and all of the rides. My sister’s husband and his friend was the only ones to go on the big water slid even when I wanted to go too. We met a lot of nice people.
My sister and I went on the rebellion my stomach felt as if it was going to come out of my mouth. We were scared at first then it became fun. My niece was laughing at us saying that she was glad she did not get on with us.

my riddle

I come in many colors
my wings spread and I fly off
I love the taste of pollen
I never make a sound
you see me year round but only notice me
when my colors sprout
most likely I'll be in a garden
If I'm there I'll blend in
during summer camp
children find it a game to capture me
I find it no fun so I flutter away
to find a safe place to land

my apostrophe poem "my body"

Wordle: ladyk

Eyes, you will learn to look into the future.
Heart, you will learn to love everyone unconditionally.
Arms, you will hug them.
Lips, you shall kiss upon their cheeks.

Nose, you shall smell their sweet smell.
Hands, lay upon theirs.
Knees, don't give out on me.
Lungs, hold enough oxygen.

Stomach, tell the butterflies to cease.
Ears, listen to their sweet tone.
Gravity, keep me on the ground.
Brain, keep all the wonderful thoughts you have.

my personal choice

who am I
I am like a tree
I sit and watch but sometimes
I can change like the seasons
I have a few roots
and a milloin leaves
I have birds that come
in and out of my life only
to stay for a while
I have squarls that may stay
for a life time but I am
a tree thats not going
anywhere

what i call my best decision

One day I had to make a decisoin. I asked myself was I going to let a girl bully me or was I going to take a stand for myself. I told my play cousin that she better get her friend or we were going to have a problem . the girl followed me everywhere and kept pintching and kicking me. so I decided I wasn't going to take it anymore so I hit her in the face.

Then we started to fight and my cousin started yelling and pulling me off of the girl. They let her loose and she kicked me in the stomach so I punched her in the nose. I was mad at my cousin for what happend but i didn't say anything about it. Thats not the only time me and her got to fighting. Her and my supposedly play cousins jumped me. From that day on I decided that no matter what anyone said or did I would not let anyone bully me.

After that day no one else has tried to bullly me i am a very out spoken person i always speak what on my mind. I never hold my tounge anyone.I know some people don't like it but they have to live with it. I love the decision I made it changed me alot but sometime I think about what if I hadn't made that decision where would I be now would I be the same me that I am now well I guess I will never find out.
