Figurative language is used to enhance poetry and its meaning. By the things that it does and helps you kind of imagine it better when you see figurative language. Also it can enhance its meaning by it being there and you seeing what kind of figurative language it is. Also it helps you visualize what the poem is trying to tell you.

 

Some of the types of figurative language are Alliteration, Onomatopoeia, Simile,  metaphor, and Hyperbole. These all can help you in poetry to help the reader understand what you are trying to say. Also they can help you know their meaning by it just being in the sentence so you can see it and try to understand what the meaning of it is. Also it can help you by just seeing the simile or metaphor.

 

Figurative language also can enhance its meaning when it is in poetry. It can enhance its meaning by you being able to know what it is. That can help you because if you know it then you know the meaning already, but you can enhance it by you try to make it better. Also you can enhance its meaning by putting a lot of figurative language in it.

Today is April Fool’s day. Would you rather joke someone or be joked by someone? Explain.

     I would play a joke on someone because if someone would joke me I would get really mad. I would say that my dad got a mustang that was really old and fixed it up. He gave it a new paint job and new engine. The engine is a V8 turbo diesel with an after market turbo and 90 plus horse power computer chip. It can go 150 miles per hour. It is black with a yellow strip down the middle. It is an old mustang boss.

Drama can help you better understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters? Drama can help you to see the feelings and viewpoints of characters by  say funny thing like if you were in space you can say it is morning right now. If you want the character to be sad and you don’t want to said he was sad. You can saying it like this he was moppy.
That is how drama can help you better understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters. This is not the drama about people. So that is how I think that drama can help you understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters.
It can help you better understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters because they are acting it out. It can also make the story more exciting. For example in a book it can be boring just reading it, but in a play or drama they act it out so it’s more exciting. Also in a book when you read it you get an image of what you think it looks like, but in a play or drama you get to see what it looks like and some times it’s different than what you see in your head and sometimes it’s the same thing that you see in your head. That is why I think it can help you better understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters.

Imagine you are an animal living on a farm or in a zoo. Describe what your every day life would be like.

 

I would be a pig on a farm. My every day life would be like, me waking up in the morning and running around, eating, drinking, and sleeping. I would love my life because I get to see my owner every day and I also get a lot of attention. I would love to roll around in mud and get dirty every day. I would also sleep every day. I would be a good pig to send to a fair. My owner would take me to fairs and I would always win. I would love my family of pigs.

What kind of person do you think Maniac Magee is? Would you want him for a friend and why?Why do you suppose Amanda laughed so hard and began to lose her balance when Jeffrey asked her if she was running away? (pg. 11) Why do you think he was puzzled by her reaction?

I think Maniac Magee would be a awesome friend even though he might me a little bit mysterious I would like to get to know him. Amanda laughed so hard that she lost her balance because she was white and at the east end most of the people were black not white so they must have thought that she was running away. He was puzzled because she was white and like I said most people are black so he did not think that a white person would go to school there and yea I think maniac would be a very cool person to hang out with or just to play with even though he might be a little weird. Even though Maniac Magee had a tough life I would help him and stick with him if anybody will make fun of him.

 

Another reason why I would want maniac Magee to be my friend is because he seems pretty nice and really nobody wants to be his friend I will be his friend. He might be a very cool guy and you would not know that if he is not your friend. I think He is a nice person I really would like to meet him in real life if he was real I really love this book and I can’t wait to read more about the mysterious Maniac Magee.

 

Maniac Magee seems really nice and probably does not have a lot of friends so I want to be his friend. He is probably a really cool guy.I really would like to meet him in real life if he was real I really love this book and I can’t wait to read more about the mysterious Maniac Magee.

Imagine that you are an animal in the zoo. What type of animal are you? How do you feel about being caged? How do you feel about people that visit and watch you?

If I was an animal in the zoo I would be a monkey. I would be a monkey because I could crawl around really well and eat bananas all day, like come on who wouldn’t want to do that? Monkeys are just way too cool. Also with monkeys you can hold onto branches and that would be very fun and cool.

If I was an animal in the zoo I would be a gorilla. I would be a gorilla because they can eat with their toes. Gorillas would also be very cool because you could easily crawl around with your knuckles! Another cool thing about Gorillas is they can pound their chest and be really strong.

Those were all the reasons why you should be a monkey and gorilla. Monkeys can crawl around a lot and be fast and eat bananas all day. Gorillas are cool to because they can eat with their toes and can crawl around with their knuckles which is awesome! Monkeys and Gorillas are both awesome zoo animals and they have similar traits, and have some differences. I hope you enjoyed!
