Poem

The fast ferocious waves hit the beach
while the beach was covered in heat
The little children were running around like mice
A popsicle would have been nice
While trying to keep cool
The beach was like a public pool
The sizzling on the sun burnt
While the plop of the water cooled burns
With people that were hungry were in a line
A line to get food that extended to about the moon





Slant Rhyme
Onomatopeia
Hyperbole

Vocabulary

One word that I have mastered over the weeks of doing vocabulary.com is annihilate. Which means to kill in large numbers. I knew what the word meant basically. I just didn't know that it had to be many people for you to annihilate, not just one person. Also I had no idea that you spell annihilate that way. The next word is pummel. Most people know the definition of pummel which means to strike usually with a fist.
       Although most people pronounce and spell it wrong. The would spell it as if you were saying pumble and thats how people would spell it. The next word I learned is equestrian. Equestrian is of or related to horseback riding. I would get this word confused because it sounds like it is water related or a sea animal.

Research

When learning how to write a good research paper I have found out that a good research paper is not descriptive. A good research is an argument. Not a weak argument, it is usually with much evidence and thing to back up your argument.  Most likely when you do a descriptive it will be boring but when you have an argument the readers will disagree or agree. This will keep your reader steady thinking about your view of the argument.
       One thing i am having trouble on and would like to fix is embedding my quotes. I feel it is difficult for me to embed quotes when it is in the middle or the end of a sentence. The question about it is where do you put the author when the quote is not at the end of the sentence. Although once I have that covered my Paper will be flawless.

Reading Response

       The part time Indian was very unfortunate because of the situations he would be in. Although sometimes he put himself in those situations. In most of the chapters it is about how hated he is by many people. He does not have any friends and has to go to his grandmother for advice. Also I know he felt  some type of way when Penelope said "Do I even know you?" Thats pretty sad the girl you like does not even know your name.
       I honestly do not see why anyone does not feel sorry for him. He has no self-esteem and feel like he does not belong in the world. He is a big laughing stock of his school. While people make racists jokes he takes it. He should try to take up for hisself and make himself known.  Other kids are bullies and i know you want a better education but I think you should stay on the reservation.
