Poem- Christmas Coal Time
My favorite time is Christmas time
with all the yummy cookies and warm hot chocolate,
A big Christmas tree with decorative ornaments,
whats your favorite time,
It has to be Christmas time.
What little kid doesn't love a sweet surprise
not only from santa, but reindeer too.
With the crackle of the fire
hopefully santa will check the chimney before coming down.
We don't need a burned bum on Christmas Eve.
Maybe I should sneak out for some water
and take a peak under the Christmas tree.
Santa must have left good gifts
I wasn't that mean.
Oh no!
He cant have left me coal
I promise I wasn't mean.
Well Christmas time is still my favorite time.
In my poem I made sure to cover the 3 topics I was most confused on. One of them being the A, B, C's that go on the side of each line. I know that its the last word that must rhyme but I seem to always get one wrong. I also tried to use a raucous word but dont thing that worked out (crackle). Another was enjambment which I think i used it in the right spots but for some reason I am never sure.

Let Her Go: Passenger
In the song Let Her go by passenger the first thing I noticed was the rhyme scheme. It is repetitive but the words do not repeat and it makes it seem like more of a rhyme. When writing next to it my A, B, C's I noticed how it would be the same for 4 lines then change for one then go back. More than half of this song is in end rhyme which makes it unique. Along with the end rhyme there is also end stop lines through out this song. I never realized how much lyrics could relate to poetry.
The way these lyrics are sung are not in a poetic meaning. But the tone of these lyrics could come off as a poem. I found this song had lots of different poetry vocabulary we have learned but it was hard to identify at first.

Research Paper
Writing is something I will probably never be confident in but at least for this paper I have had more of a choice on my topic. I do not feel like my paper is as strong as it should be for the amount of time I have spent on the whole project in general. But I do feel like if I spend a good amount of time on the final and going to the writing center my paper could improve a whole letter grade. I do want to work as hard on this paper as I did on the last but for some reason I have just struggled finding strong information.
I do feel that the easier part of this paper was once I started to type it made a lot more sense. The hardest part was making a thesis that related to the checklist of things it needed to be. I also struggled with making my body connect to my thesis and be the arguable paper it should be. I do feel that my final will be a lot stronger than my draft but I am expecting a descent grade because it is well written. I hope that having help Dr. D, the writing center, and Mrs. Harper I will be able to make this a super strong paper that makes sense and shows my research on Geisha for the NHD project.

Sneaux Much Fun!
I absolutely love snow! I just wish that it could snow more down here in the south. Having 3 days off for snow weather just had me wishing for real snow. Even though that never happened. And sadly as I wished for snow which never came I was stuck inside doing school work which seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger every day. But honestly I was thankful for virtual school I know that I would hate having to come for 3 days in the summer to make up for these days missed.
While trying to enjoy my mini snow-cation I had 3 of my friends over to take a break from school work and we did absolutely nothing but play flappy bird. So maybe the 3 days off were not productive but I did manage to catch up on my sleep! Having these 3 days off really helped me realize how important going to school is. Without my teachers I dont think I would have been able to complete all my work without getting everything wrong!
