Poem Analysis Paragraph


The theme of both stories, “Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” and “You want a social life, with friends” is never take advantage of what you have and never put the most important things in your life second. In the story “Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” Tom focused more on his work and the piece of paper rather than being with his wife and focusing on her. In the poem “You want a social life, with friends”, Michelangelo spent his time creating the ceiling instead of focusing on what was more important in his life, which was his social life.

Yellow Paper Paragraph Possession

I don’t have that many belongings but one of my most prized possessions is a silver necklace that my brother gave to me. I’ve had my necklace for two years, not a long time but it was a gift that I have cherished since I received it. My brother gave it to me when I turned fourteen and since then I have never taken it off. I feel that if I loose it I am loosing the feeling of always having my brother by my side. My necklace makes me feel like my brother is always their even though he is far from me at times. My brother is a very important part of my life and that’s why I like having my necklace.

Plot Changed Paragraph


Tom Benecke decided to break the window with his hand and kept hesitating. He did break the window and was able to get in his house to safety but he hurt himself in the process. Instead of breaking the window with my hand like Tom did I would have figured out a way to break the window with my feet because the shoes protect my skin rather than just swinging at the glass. The plot would change but not a lot because with my decision because instead of someone getting hurt, nobody would get hurt and just be relieved to be safe and not dead.

Friends or Homework

My friends are important to me but school is also important. If I had to choose between my friends and studying, I would choose studying. One reason is because friends don’t always support you in school and they aren’t the ones who are going get you out of school with a diploma. Another reason is because sometimes the people you consider your friends are a bad example and can persuade you to do bad things. Studying for a test is important not only so you can get a decent grade on your test but also to have information in your head that you might need in the future. When it comes to school and friends I would put school first and then my friends.

Paralized By Fear

It was around three in the morning on a Saturday and I was awakened by a noise in my room. At first I thought it was the over night who came in and made noise so I tried to go back to sleep. I closed my eyes but for some reason I didn’t feel comfortable and I felt there was something in my room watching me. I tried to ignore my feelings and go to sleep but just as I was about to go back to sleep I saw a black shadow pass fast to my roommate’s side. At that point I was so petrified and I couldn’t move. My feet were shaking and my heart was pounding so fast I thought I was going to pass out. I put my head under my cover and that’s when the overnight walked in my room. I was so glad she came in and turned on the light. I was scared to go to sleep but I ended up falling to sleep at five in the morning. I was scared for weeks and slept with the light on and realized that it’s all in my head.

Wordle: Random Me

Embarrassing Moment.!


It was my first day of kindergarten and I felt so lucky and excited. I remember thinking “I’m so lucky to finally start school and make new friends, this is my lucky day”. The day was humid but it felt good and there were lots of birds flying around. My mom took my siblings and me to school and as I was walking to the office a bird took a crap on my head. I thought it was rain because the day was humid but then my brother screamed “Amy you have poop on your head”. It was so loud and there were kids around and they started laughing hysterically at me and pointing. I was so embarrassed and at that point I was feeling very unlucky. I started crying so my mom decided to take me home and still until this day my siblings make fun of me.

After I ate I left to go hang out with some of my friends but I was sad because I hate having to leave my family. My day was really tiring but I had fun hanging out with my family and friends.

My first day as a sophomore!

Boring and exciting is how I would describe my first day of school. I was bored because most of the classes I have, I had last year. It was also boring because the teachers were mostly going over the rules, expectations, syllabus, and grading. All the subjects they were touching base on I have already gone over and understand them. It was exciting because my best friend has the same schedule as me. Another reason my day was exciting was because this year I am a sophomore and I was curious as to what the teachers had planned for us to do. My first day of school, I had a mixture of emotions going through me.
