Dream House Paragraph with Imagery

My dream house is only a regular house. My house has two stories, and it is painted white. The outside has a color scheme of white purple and turquoise. I have a balcony that looks over the pacific ocean on the east coast. Every morning I can taste the light morning dew that drizzles all over my house. I can feel the moisture on the hand rail. I walk inside and feel on a smooth leather couch. Right in front of my couch is my hard, transparent glass table. As I head to my room, I feel my hard, black, wood bed posts. And I fall into my temperpedic bed that just surrounds my body with absolute comfort and cushions. My house smells like Febreeze because my bed is sprayed by it. Although my house smells fresh, there is still a lingering smell of new leather because I had just recently bought my new leather couches. As I doze of I can hear the ocean's waves crash and then the tide roll in. I hear seagulls that land on my porch and chirp their loud chirp. Right before I go to sleep I hear my coffee pot grinding my coffee. And as I imagine the red light going on I hear a beep. This house is not much, but it is or would be a great achievement. To achieve this house I have to just keep doing well in school, because without school there is no job, without a job there is no money, and without money there is no dream house.

Third Quarter Goals Reflection

I had several goals for third quarter. My first one is to manage my time in favor to academics. Another is to do ALL my homework and classwork assignments. Lastly, it was to behave better so my citizenship can also be a 4.0. I worked hard to reach these goals but I ended up coming a little short of a 4.0. Though I did not reach a 4.0 I am doing well academically. But to actually reach these goals that aren't impossible I definitely need to study more. At the end of this quarter I believe I will be happy with my grades.

Poetry Experience Paragraph

I actually like the fact that we are on the subject of studying poetry. I myself always liked writing, including poetry, but that just makes me a little bit more knowledgeable about the subject. I do know there are many types of poetry, many styles, and great complication. Anyone can write a poem, but it is the skill that is gained by practicing and mastering that gets listened to. In the past I have continuously had to read poems, break them down fore their literal meanings, and also I have had to make some of my own. When I was a little kid my older brother used to read us poems by Edgar Allan Poe, a famous poet. He is still my favorite poet that holds my favorite poem today. In this unit I would like to learn how to write poetry better, but to also have fun with it.

Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection

Over the past two weeks, we studied symbolism and allegory. As we conclude our unit, I learned that what symbolism was and the different forms it can be used in. I also learned what allegory is and how it can be used to compare things. The assignment that may represent this is name "San Pasqual Academy Dragons Symbolism." We learned about allegory by reading a story in class. The blog post that represents this is named "Animal Farm to the Real World." My favorite symbolism and allegory assignment was named " “Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA," because it is a fun academic assignment that was teaching me and it was creative at the same time. After learning symbolism and allegory I have learned not to think of things so literal and more of a broad thinking to compare and contrast traits.

“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character Boxer represents the quality of being brave. For example, he first stepped up for everyone who was hungry and starving for food. He did this by knocking down the door to eat food, and this shows his bravery and leadership. In addition he also led the starting of the revolution. He led the animals to attack the humans when they tried to come out. Boxer was in the front with his head up high and full of courage (and Snowball followed also with great bravery). This shows that Boxer did have courage and did symbolize this trait. Another example would be when he worked hard. He hassled and worked as much as possible. Even without any food he continued, although this is mostly leadership it also contains the trait of bravery, or the act of being brave. Then unfortunately he had to pass, and maybe it was due to excessive braveness. People who are brave do not always prosper, but they get respect. Those people are almost always known for what they did or what they are doing. Being brave is tough but it is a great quality to have.
