Grow'in as a Poet.

"The Rose That Grew From Concrete"


Did you here about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breath fresh air.
Ling live the rose that grew from the concrete, 
when no one else ever cared.


By:Tupac Shakur.


This poem stood out to me that this is kind of what people are going through. Like someone grew up into a better person when no one else cared. I think writing poems are a lot harder to right. Some poems have to rhyme. It is harder to right poems that rhyme and then they also have to make sense. I think I have grown as a poet not a lot but a little. I am better at reading and writing poems than I was at the beginning of the school year because in middle school we didn't have POETRY FRIDAY!! 

Cliff Hanger.

I was not a very big reader until high school English. SSR-Silent Sustained Reading, changed my reading habit to not ready at all, to reading a lot. I now enjoy books, I like mystery books the best because when you stop you don't know what is going to happen next. It is like a cliff hanger. Having SSR as part of our class it is an easy grade. I don't think there are any negatives to SSR. I plan to read more books in the future more of mysteries and graphic novels. 

Favorite book so far!

I like blogging, but what I like better is Vlogging- a vlog is like a blog but you do it in a video. I like vlogging more because it is easier to make a vlog for me.  I have learned a lot about blogging, like how to use better typing grammar rather than putting (u) and (r), stuff like that. I get used to writing like a text message. With blogging you get the chance to customize your blog the way you want it.

A goal that I have for my blog, I am going to grow my blog by adding gadgets, a hit rating to see how many hits I have gotten. Maybe customize a back ground that would describe my blog style with just a picture.

Death Penalty In Arizona.

The 8th of January there was a Arizona Shooting. Saturday's shooting in Tucson- There were up to 150 Witnesses. And some of them held down the shooter until the police arrived. His troubled mental state to keep him off of death row. "The issue is his mental state, and the sole goal is to avoid the death penalty." Jared Lee Loughner is charged with murder and also attempted murder in the shootings outside a super market. The shootings killed a 9-year old girl a federal judge and four others. A tireless life term in prison. An Alexandria lawyer who worked with Clarke on the defense of Zacarias Moussaoui, the conspirator in the Sept. 11, 2001. "The case may very well be moved out of Arizona." Internet and other news sources means means potential jurors will be familiar with the shootings.

I believe that Jared Lee Loughner should get the death penalty because of what he did. He killed a 9 year old girl and a federal judge and four other people not on purpose. His purpose was to assassinate Gabrielle Giffords. But in the process her killed and injured many innocent people.
