SPA Poem!!!

Life on our Campus is like a zoo for foster kids.
Life on Campus is as if we are caged with orange groves.

Life on campus is a way of saying life at a zoo.

Life on campus is like a Rubik’s cube. It is full of confusion.

San Pasqual extends its arms to new comers.

Life on campus is a mystery of people and personalities.

Life on campus.

Woman Work Parapraph!!

The author does not like doing chores because she is constantly having to do them and always getting the job done right without any rest. Some chores that I do around the house are washing the dishes, vacuuming, and picking up the house and what looks like needs cleaning. I do not mind doing chores, because when I am bored I like to clean and organize things. I just really dislike doing the dishes. I think the author is trying to tell us that she was tired of doing all the chores that she does and needs a rest.

Memorable Valentine's Day!!

My Memorable Valentine’s Day was last year’s Valentine because I was living in National City in San Diego and I was with Birdy the whole day and night. At the time I was on the run. We spent the morning at Mc Donald’s and then walked down to the park and kicked it there for a while. Then Birdy’s brother came and picked us up and we went to the mall and watched a movie. After the movie it was already late so we went to his house. I had met his house that day and got to spend the night with her approval. Usually when I would spend the night with him I would have to wait till his mom was asleep for him to let me in. I felt comfortable with him and did not feel guilty that night because I got permission to spend the night .We stayed up almost until morning. I had a great time and it was a Memorable Valentine’s Day!

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

     The name of my poem is "Folding Won Tons In" by Abraham Chang. Someone should read it because it is very interesting and has a lot of Chinese culture in the poem. You shouldn’t read this poem because it is only describing how the family makes the food. But yet, if you like cooking or if you are looking for something to cook you can use this poem as an idea of a reference. The best part of the poem is “My hands powder-dusted; acquainted with each new blossom. I line them up like newborns huddled together, waiting to be fed to their distant fathers.” Because it compares the blossoms to babies and how they were so close together like they were ready to be nurtured.
