FRIED CHIKEN
One of my favorite food is fried chicken.
When my family is cooking fried chicken
I tell them to give me a piece.
Some times they tell me to wait when we eat together,
forever,
I tell them I don’t like to wait so they
have to give me right away.
I like chicken with rice
because it’s nice.
If you don’t like fried chicken
then you are a fool,
and you’re not cool
because chicken rule.

Daddy Fell into the Pond
A poem by Alfred Noyes

Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.
We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
We were nearing the end of a dismal day,
And then there seemed to be nothing beyond,
Then
Daddy fell into the pond!

And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
"Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!
He's crawling out of the duckweed!" Click!

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,
And doubled up, shaking silently,
And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft,
And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.
Oh, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
When
Daddy fell into the pond!

Alfred Noyes

Rhyme: The last letter repeats.

The environment is very important for people, because it determents if you have good neighbors or not. Some people don’t like the environment that they are in, because they argue with there neighbor, people should care about the place that they life they should also care about the environment, they should care if its cline or if it dangerous.

If you cep clean your enviontment then you will fed happy, because there are a lot of people that don’t kip it clean, and you will see stuff like garbich around your house and you will not like that, because its discus ting and it will smell bad. That could not be good that when you are going to invite people to your house fro dine, when they go they be thinking that they don’t keep their house clean and that they will never go agene.

If you dint get along with your neighbor, then they could treat you bad like, they could do party’s every single day, only to make noise so you dont sleep, so you could feed tager to go to work and that’s not good. Another thing that they could do to you is that they could throw garish in you place, so people think that you don’t clean your house and, around your house.

In conclusion I learn that you should look very good at the place that you will live, when you move, and to get along with every one around you, so you don’t have any problems later.

Argumentative Essay- Diego

Don’t Kill Nature If You Are Think Again.

Do you know that if you make a fire in a camp make sure that you turn it of after you are finish. If you don’t turn it of when you are camping then the forest is in danger because it could bur. If you burn the forest then you could put every animal in danger that life in the forest. Another thing that its bad is that if you do it then you will kill a lot of nature because the places that people like will not be there no more because it was burn.

People think that when you go to camp that they could make a fire because they want to cook some thing, or use it when they are could, that’s bad because if you don’t turn the fire out, the hall forest will be in danger only because people want to make a fire. If the hall forest burns then there will be a lot of pollution, and that’s bad for you and for other people, because they will get cancer or some other problems.

The second ting that when you burn a forest by making a fire then all the animals will be in danger, because of you, people say that making a fire is good and its not good, if any animal dies they you will be responsible because you kill it with your fire. If animals die by burning then there will be fewer animals in the earth and that bad for the nature because then you will not see the animal that died. That will be bad for the people that like them a lot.

There will be not that much nature as before only because there was a fire around there and that fire affected that place and other places, many people think that a fire will not do noting but if you are not careful then there will be something wrong, a lot of people don’t think what they are going to do, and it they do that what are going to be the negative ting. Will more and more people are making a fire when they go to camp the forest will be in more danger for the nature, animals, you and other people that life around their.

In Conclusion I learn that you shooed think twice before you do any think, or you could think the negative things that could happen when you are not that careful in the forest, or any ware when you make a fire, and one negative when something burn it will be bad for any living creature, like for the people they could get cancer, and for the animals they could die, and for the world their will be to much air pollution.
