A Love Poem
Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Are You a Dreamer?
Dreams by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

The most interesting setting was in the book Transall Saga written by Gary Paulsen. I thought this was interesting because of the space like forms and colorful plants.This caught my eye to what Gary PAulsen may have been thinking about throughout writting his novel.

the most interesting setting was at the gallagher academy, it is a mansion. everyone outside the school thinks that it is a rich girl school, but it is actually a secret spy school. this appealed to me because it was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting setting I've read about was Forks, Washington. It was very appealing to me because of the darkness feeling it put off.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting setting is in my book Far North. It is in the unforgivable Canadian Northern forest. The characters must survive on the little resources they have.
ReplyDeleteum... its from The House of Night. when she describes the night then she is turning into shadow and night. it kinof hard to explain but read the series if you like vampires<3
ReplyDeleteThe setting was at a high school, but it did not give good description.
ReplyDeleteThe best setting that was in the book "New Moon" because at the end it took place in Italy. The author really knew what she was talking about when she describing the setting. She made me feel like i was really there with the characters!
