Stars in the Sky

Stars in the Sky

By: Sofia Anderson

Every so often there are these stars in the sky.

They light up the dark canvas every so often.

Every time one is released it makes this whistling sound like a teapot.

Sky rocketing in the sky like a torpedo in the sea.

Or some might say it looks like a dragons breath coming to burn the planets.

You wonder what color this masterpiece will be,

It looks like a rainbow with all the colors it possesses.

It glows like lightning and fills the sky with light.

When it explodes it make this boom like a bomb.

Sometimes the kids scream,

But are soon happy with the stars in the sky.

"My Skin"

My Skin 

By: Sofia Anderson

My skin is a reflection.

People look at it and judge.

They see what is on the outside, 

Not the in.

My skin is a tree stump.

With all the lines it shows my age,

Each line makes people look at it different.

My skin is a time machine.

When I look at it, 

The memories take me to a different time.

All the scars show a different time and place.

My skin is a window.

When opened it let's things come out.

Although when it is closed,

Valuable things are concealed.

The Dog of Pompeii

     

       In the story The Dog of Pompeii by Louis Untermeyer, the main character Tito is described as observant. In the article it says,"They visited the uncovered theater, and though Tito could not see the faces of the actors, he could follow the play better than most of the audience, for their attention wandered - they were distracted by the scenery, the costumes, the by-play, even by themselves - while Tito's whole attention was centered in what he heard." This quote it telling us that Tito is observant. The quote says that when Tito listened to the play, he could understand it more than anyone else. He knew that the people would get distracted by the things he could not see. In this way Tito was observant.

      In "The Dog of Pompeii", by Louis Untermeyer, Bimbo is characterized as determined. The article states," Then Bimbo did the last thing he could - the last thing he wanted to. He bit his comrade, bit him deep in the arm." The quote is explaining that Bimbo is determined. It says this because he wanted to wake Tito up no matter the cost. Bimbo did the first thing that came to his mind, even if it wasn't like him. Although he wasn't usually this violent he was so determined to wake Tito up that he would do anything.
