The Color Purple Book Club Response 3

Dear Dairy,

My Name is Celia. I hate my life. I always have to clean this and that, and I'm always getting beat.
Should I run away or should I stay?
I can't take this anymore. I don't deserve to live like this. I wish my mom was still here.
I hope nothing happens to my sister.
She is really all I got.
I love my sister so much. How can all this madness stop?
I wish I was never Mr.___ wife.
He is not a good husband. He make me do everything around the house.
He beats me and the kids all the time, but he beats me the most.
It can be so hot outside and he will make me and the kids do everything.By the end of the day we are pitch black.
I'm thinking that should I kill him or should I run away?

The Color Purple Book Club Response

While Reading this book I can predict that many bad things is going to happen.
The main character in this story is Celia.
She have been raped ,beating up and been treated wrong.
Her Father is mean and is a disgrace to the world. He have been beating on almost every member in Celia family.

So Far I can related to my friend.
When her mother was gone for like a couple of hour she was in the house with her mothers boyfriend.
She was in the room by her self. Then like a hour later her mother boyfriend came in the room and started to beat her, then he put his thing in her private part and raped her. She scream and tryed to get him off of her. All he did was hurt her a lot and choked her real hard.
When her mother came home she told her mother and her mother didn't believe her.
So the girl pack her stuff and ran away.

Still I rise by

The theme of this poem is to never let anyone bring you down.
The clues in this poem that describes this theme is when she said"Did you want to see me broken?Bowed head and lowered eyes?Shoulders falling down like teardrops.Weakened by my soulful cries.Also in the poem she says"you may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise. These clues in this wonderful written poem describes the theme of this poem.

This message of the poem applies to my life and many ways.One way is sometimes people always try to put me down but they can't .If they do put me down I would always rise back up.Also I can connect to another poem that I've read, The name of this poem is I ,Too,is America.
This poem connects to the other poem because they both having like the same theme, never giving giving up, and never let anyone bring you down.

Hyperbole of My Dog

While I was reading this poem I found many examples of hyperbole.
One example that I found in this poem was"Little girl is my dog.
To me this person is trying to explain that the little girl acts like a dog and this person is saying that the little girl is wild like a dog. Another example I found was"When she sees food her eyes starts to spend. This person is trying to explain that this little girl loves food and the girl must of been very hungry so when she saw the food her eyes must have popped out.

I think that the author use hyperbole in the poem this way because he/she might of wanted people to see what he/she mean about the little as being a dog

A Poem called My life

My life is ruined
My life is wrecked
My life is in danger
My life is a threat.

My life can't go on
My life is a disaster
My life is like trash
It's like I don't matter.

To My Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,
My biggest accomplishment in ELA this year is making predictions and knowing how to write essays more better using transforming words. Also in ELA during test prep time I now know how to find the meaning of hard words using context clues from a story. My favorite unit this year in ELA is the character studies. I like this unit a lot because it helps me more to understand a passage that is very hard for me and this unit is helping me to get ready to take the big ELA state test on January 21,2009. In this unit my class 802 is reading a very high level book called To Kill The Mockingbird. This book is for like high school students. I'm very proud of myself because I really understand this great book and this book have very hard words that I never seen in my life. Also in this unit I learn how to answer inference question and questions about points of view which mean who is telling the story . Using technology is great for us students. We have our on websites for school. Like cis339online.com, Ning.com and blogger.com. On each website we do plenty of work. Technology is easier for me. Its better doing work on the computer that using a lot of paper. My goal this year is to get a 4 on the state test and go to HIGH SCHOOL. In ELA you have to know how to read and write because say if you want a job and you can't read or write thats a big problem. ELA IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
