Short Story 

       It was a normal day at Galliard elementary school except for in Mr. Rease's pre-k class. it all started when Antonio and Lucy made a play dough monster. all of the other kids thought it looked disgusting due to its different sized eyes, unfamiliar head shape, and its gloomy formed teeth. even though the monster they created seemed weird, the kids decided to give it a name: Edwardo. however, Jonathan put the icing on the cake by adding a special booger making the toy play dough monster, Edwardo, come to life. once recess was over, the kids came back inside not expecting the monster to be there. the kids shouted with fear and tried to run out but the door, all of a saddened becomes jammed leaving them stuck inside with the horrible monster. with a look of suspense, Mr. Rease returned to the room to see all of his students gone with Antonio's glasses still on the floor. Edwardo ate the children leaving Mr. Rease with calling for help to locking up the hideous monster. FOR LIFE.

Poem About the Monster

Why am I here?

 

 

 

Why am I here?

Is it a choice of neglect?

Why are the kids instilled with fear?

Is it because of human regret?

 

Since then of my creation. 

I did not understand my purpose.

Which then triggered my frustration.

Which led the children into being nervous.

 

With my hideous looks and furious hunger. 

My sense of starvation began to rise.

I snuck into their classroom eating and killing the younger.

Leading me to shock when everyone dies.

 

I don't know how to feel 

I don't know why I am here

which causes me to kill

ending my life yet severe.

Poem To The Monster

Edwardo the Monster

 

 

all kids play with play dough, 

but on a particular day they created a monster named, Edwardo.

he had a small right eye, but a huge left eye,

which made one think, did my kids give the monster a stye.

 

He had scars and hideous teeth, 

coming from the kids kicking him around the tree,

in that moment I seen fire in his eyes,

Which I felt that I may have to tell my kids goodbye.

 

He always gave me a weird vibe,

which explained his anger inside,

later on in the darkness of my home,

maybe I could've been tripping,

until I heard covers ripping,

 

The kids did a loud scream,

which made my ears ring,

I had no idea that my life would take this path, 

all I seen in the closet were my kids scraps.

Reflection of King Lear Scene 2 and 3

Scene 2: I feel as though scene 2 was very confusing but good. Edmund, Gloucester's real sln, was very deceiving. I felt as though  he tried to set up Edgar. I think he's jealous because he can't inherit King Lear's riches by inheritance so he will set it uo so he will be in position to get it. I didnt like how he tried to mess up Edgar's relationship  with his father.

Scene 3: This scene is very short it only consisted of a conversation of King Lear's daughter Goneril. I feel like tjis scene didnt leas up to it's potential because the scene before it had a lot of dialogue it had a "purpose", scene 3 really didnt have a purpose it was just a simple conversation

Comparison Between "Infant Sorrow" and " Infant Joy"

Infant Joy and Infant Sorrow are both about a child being born in the world but being looked at differebtly. In Infant Joy the author focuses on the positive perspective of child's birth. Repetition is used throughout Infant Joy to emphasize that the child is full of inncence and promise.
Infant Sorrow focuses on how an inncocent child is born into a bad world. In the first stanza the mother and father are weeping because the child is born into a hateful and dangerous world. Tje child sulked upon its mothers breast becaue it felt it had no other hope.

Analysis of Psalm 91

   This Psalm was very intriguing to me. I felt like I can relate to it. In the first four verses basically it was talking about how God is your protector and as long as you follow him he will protect you. One of the themes I picked was "If one serves under god he will serve you." Meaning that all you have to do is admit that God is your lord and savior and believe and have faith then yiu wiol be saved.
    Some symbolism that was used in the Psalm was wings, feathers, lion and, dragon. The wings and feathers represent a shield this shield is essential. It protects us it keeps all of the evil out and the blessings come in. The lion that is stated in verse 13 can be compared to the devil. I think it could mean something good though. I think that this verse means that if you accept God all good will trample evil. Basically meaning all good will overcome evil.

Readers Profile

I have many strengths and weaknesses when it comes to reading. Some of my strengths are reading speed and being able to comprehend the text. My weaknesses are being easily distracted and not staying focused if the story is not that interesting. One of my biggest weaknesses is procrastinating, I often put off reading because I'll tell myself I will do it tomorrow and so forth. Reading plays a major role for me because it helps me see the different perspective that of the author and the main character. Also it helps built my vocabulary because I am going to stumble upon a word I do not know when I read. Being able to connect what I have just read to something that I have read in the past is another big role reading plays in my education. I am very passionate when it comes to reading because ,I am able to paint a picture of what I have read in my head. Which helps me better understand the story at hand. My peeves about reading are sometimes I am not able to fully comprehend the story because of how it is written or some of the word usage, also I don't like when a story is all over the place like it doesn't really have a starting point.
