I think the main difference between these 2 poems are that “highwayman” was a very hard poem for me to understand and “phenomenal women” had a clear statement on what the poem was about. They both are writing about their love for themselves and for others. It also writes about people judging them, like in phenomenal women she describes how men would look at her, and in highwayman people don’t like him because he is a bad guy so they try to kill his loved one, Bess.

Life
Life is like a camera
focus on what you love
and capture the memories
Learn from your mistake and if it doesn’t work out
Just take another shot

Life requires happiness and love
it’s what give life purpose and meaning
So try new things
smile more
Don’t let fear be a limit to your happiness

Life is a chance
to learn
lo love
to dream
to inspire

My hope poem
My hope feels like butterflies in by bones
My hope tastes like vomit in my throat
My hope looks like a big cloudy sky
My hope smells like fresh air up in the sky
My hope sounds like heavy wind flying by
My hope is to conquer my fear of heights

I think the book wasn’t good at first because the introduction wasn’t really interesting but when the end came most of the things made sense and made it very interesting. I think the end is where made me like the book. I like it because at the end it was really interesting when everything got interesting.

If I can change some parts of the book I would change that grams died because that time Sal was already really sad that her mom died and then grams died too. I think it was very emotional for her because both of her very important people in her life died so it think grams shouldn’t die

Beach and Lunch

I thought the beach was really nice because Every year I  go to America 2 times and I don’t go to the beach often in Taiwan and the worst part is that my flip-Flop had a sponge base and it sucks water and I played with the water a lot so I got a lot of sand on feet and I had to wait until I we went to the hotel clean it off and may feet was sandy and a little damp and it was making bubbles because I was walking so I was stepping on the sponge and it was damp so it made bubbles.

Aquarium Challenge

 I didn’t really like this part because I only wanted to play I didn’t want to look for questions around the place we went and I didn’t have a bag I was handful of a water bottle, paper a pencil case  my phone my wallet and I didn’t have a clip board so I couldn’t even write the answers down to my paper.

After noon Free time

The afternoon free time is good andbad at the same time for me. The good part is that I finally can sit from all the walking for 1-2 hours and that I could play in the splash pool which was like the best part of the whole field trip. The bad part for me is that I didn’t get to eat the ice cream because I didn’t know that they went to buy the ice cream so I was really scared that I was lost and when I saw them come back they were eating ice cream and I asked them where they went and Momo said that they went to buy ice cream I told her the whole story and Melody.F said “Too bad” and that is was pretty mean.

Behind the Scenes

I it was really fun and I was so scared to  touch the sharks and when I touch it it moved and I was so scared and I tried to get him to move from the shell he was born in. My favorite part was like me feeding the fish little tiny shrimps.

Sleeping in the tunnel 

I felt like a fish because it was like I am sleeping with them and I watch them until I fell asleep as I heard someone snore. It was so cool I wish I can sleep like this everyday an nothing really bothered me even the snore didn’t bother me because I thought it was pretty funny and I am used to my brothers and my dad’s snores.

Intertidal Zone Exploration

I a lot of dead coral and it felt like a normal rocky rock. The part I like the most was the time when the water was so clear and so clean and I didn’t even believe that it was a salt water! One more thing that was something that I like was climbing the rocks I was really scared that I would drop to the water but it urned out really fun.

Beluga Whale Breakfast 

I loved this show so much and that I wish that I could sit in the front row and get splashed by the whales. And that they are so talented the can sing they can carry people on her head they can throw balls. They are like the smartest ,cutest and talented animal I have ever seen.

Vocabulary

It was Halloween and I went trick a treating , we went to our neighbor and she was dressed as a veterinarian  and she had freckles  on her cheeks and a turquoise color shirt that had some studded on it me and Ethan got  our candy and went home to engraved our pumpkin. I carved a face that had a creepy smile.  And that was my best Halloween ever.

Discussion

Question: Why do you think the Warden is treated like a boss?

A lot of my group member think the warden started  the camp green lake and I think so too I think she wants to treat kids very mean thats why she started the camp but she wants to find treasure and thats why I think she is kind of like the ” Alice in the Wonderland” queen of hearts.

Question: Why do you think the Warden didn’t accept the fossil, but accepted the golden tube?

I think because the warden is interested in gold more. A lot of my group members said it was because the warden is more greedy and selfish, but derrick think that it is because you can find a fossil really easy in a dried lake.

Connections 

I think I daydream a lot and Stanley was daydreaming too and I think is pretty funny. I think I am kind f like Hong kai because he get impatient of summer break just like the warden gets impatient. I think me and Derrick are very similar because my brother tricks me a lot too. When Stanley got bullied it reminds Melody.T of our bully video that we made together and I remember it and it was really fun. X- ray is always the first one and it reminds  Momoko’s class always wants to be the first and I can see that every day.
