The Beach

Hi everyone,

I started writing a poem but I am stuck and I don't know what to write next.

Here it is:

Playing in the sand

making an island

out of shovels and pails

watching the fish’ scales


Looking at the sea

not so far away from me

the waves

crashing against the

seashore

thank you

Marko
Thank you for the comment Mr. G I think this is better

The Japanese invented this weapon for hatred, and I believe that is wrong. I think death should be natural not by machines and bullets. I also think desperation should never be a reason to kill someone, or to kill your self. But there are many other people who disagree with my thoughts, like the people of the kamikaze and the military who would give their lives up for their country. Thank you!

Simple example of expository essay

Here is an example of a five paragraph essay. Pay attention to the colours!

My favorite pet is my dog, Romeo. He is beautiful and easy to care for. Playing with him is lots of fun. He always takes care of me. I have never had a better pet.

Romeo is beautiful and easy to care for. He is a tricolor Sheltie, mostly black with white and a bit of brown. Caring for him is easy because I simply have to make sure he has fresh water and food every day. I exercise him by throwing his toys. Because he is good looking and doesn’t require much care Romeo is a good pet.

Romeo is lots of fun to play with. He loves to play catch. He follows me around the house with a toy and drops it on my foot so I will toss it. He can catch just about anything, but his favorite is chasing a Frisbee. I really have fun playing with Romeo.

Romeo takes care of me. He always follows me when I leave a room. When I am sitting on a couch he plops down right beside me. On sunny days when we are hiking in the woods he always makes sure that I keep up with the rest of the family. He always watches out for me.

As you can see, Romeo is a great pet. I am proud of him and he doesn’t require much care. Playing with him is very pleasurable. I am always safe because he watches over me. Romeo is a wonderful pet.

Question for essay maps

Hi Mr. Gelmon

I know Isabelle already asked What do you do for the conclusion on the blog but I still don't get it. Because you said you don't put your whole essay on your map, just notes. And I don't really have an introduction paragraph so I can't wrap it up.

Please Help!

Shak

PS: If no one comments please help me tomorrow in class

Hi Mr. G. I did my essay map on a different topic, because I was not done my Japan essay. So maybe when I finish my essay could I get the map to you.
