ReplyDeleteThe meaning of “Roger the Dog” is more important because I love dogs. I love my dog Scooter. Scooter is like Roger because he never moves from the couch, and at night he hogs the entire bed even though he sleeps all day.
My connection is to “Roger the Dog”. My dog is named Scooter. He loves to sleep all day, but he loves when we take him on walks or to the dog park. At the dog park he doesn’t run around like the other dogs, he just sniffs the grass.
I like “Roger the Dogs”’s writer’s craft more because I like the rhymes and the couplets. My favorite rhyme is “He hogs the fire and bakes his head as if it were a loaf of bread.” My favorite couplet is the same.
I chose “Roger the Dog” as the winner because of its writer’s craft and theme.

The poems “Roger The Dog” and “How To Eat a Poem” are both good poems, but the more meaningful poem is “How To Eat a Poem”. It is more meaningful to me, because it’s not about a dog that is lazy and likes to roll in cow claps. Instead it is about how you bite right in to a poem and let the words sink in. This is why I think “How To Eat a Poem” is more meaningful then “Roger The Dog”.
ReplyDeleteThe the poem that I can make a better connection to is “Roger The Dog”, because I can make a “ text to media” connection, because once I sent a online birthday letter to my cousin about a lazy cat that sat around in his litter box and ate catnip.
“Roger The Dog” has very good rhyme scheme. For example, “He bakes his head as if it were a loaf of bread.”, “He will not race, he will not romp, he saves his straeth for gobble and chomp.” ,and “He’ll work as hard as you wish Emptying his dinner dish. This is why “Roger The Dog” should be the winner.

Another reason is, I like to just bite into foods right as they come to me. Lastly, when I eat foods, I do not like throwing away things I don’t like inside the food.
I like “Roger the Dog’s” writer’s craft more because the rhyme scheme is great. The rhyme scheme is AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH. Also, I like the imagery. For example,”He rolls in cowclap up to his eyes”and, “He’s a sack of snoring dog you can lug him like a log.”
“Roger the Dog” is the clear winner to me. ROMAN
The first poem “Roger the Dog” is about a dog who is sloppy and lazy .The only way to get him out of bed is to bribe him with food,and he only wakes to scratch his fleas. It says “He’s just a sack of snoring dog. You can lug him like a log.” that made me smile. It also has alliteration like in dinner dish and his head. I like this poem because it really creates a picture in my mind of how Roger looks.has a connection to me because it talks about a do who rarely moves like my dog!It also only gets up for food and that's one of the many things I love about him.

I like “The New Suit” ‘s meaning better because, first of all, I do not think “The Falling Star” really makes sense to me. I do not even know why that poet chose to write it. Mostly, I like the funny meaning that “The New Suit” brings to you when you read it. When I read it, I know that the poet wrote this poem because he wanted to have some good laughs about life. He knows that we all have been in the situation that he was in before.

Which poem's meaning is more important to you?
ReplyDeleteWhat personal connection can you make?
Which poet's craft do you enjoy more? Poet's craft can include repetition, word choice, rhyme, simile/metaphor, etc.
The one that is more important is “the new suit.” I liked this because the imagery that I could see was the best out of all the poem.’s For example the new suit I could see him with the striped suit. I could also see him at the big party just feeling embarrassed because he was in a suit when know one else was.
The connection I can make is right before school started, I needed a suit. Me and my mom went and got a blazer, and I was so happy to get where it. At the first church service i was wearing it and felt so good. I could not imagine what it would of felt like if I went to school and everyone was wearing their normal clothes.
The reason why i chose this poem is the imagery weather it is me seeing the fantastic tye or the crowd looking at him because he did not have the right clothes. I chose “The New Suit.”
-JAck😀😐
“The Falling Star” has more meaning to me. I think this because not taking things for granted is very important to me. It is like only having one shot and making it your best. You only have one shot to wish on a star.
ReplyDeleteI can connect to “The New Suit” because I have tried not to eat very much sugar at a party, but failed completely. I ate cake, ice cream, Jolly Ranchers, gummy bears, and a snow cone.
“The Falling Star” has great imagery. For example, “I saw a star slide down the sky,” and “Too burning and too quick to hold”. Repetition is also in “The Falling Star”. It is in the same sentence. “Too burning and too quick to hold”.
I choose “The Falling Star” as the winner.
~AVERY PICKENS😊
The poem “The Falling Star” has more meaning to me since she is explaining to me that a falling star [or shooting star] can only be wished on, not sold or held. But your wish will only stay for a little while for you to wish on it. It tells me that wishes are little moments in our life, and we should know that that’s your chance, don’t leave it behind, for you’ll never see it again.
ReplyDeleteI can make a connection to “The Falling Star” because I’ve made a wish too, a wish that I could only do then, but I haven’t finished my wish yet. I know that the wish I made will only come true if I do it at that time, or I will not be able to make my wish come true.
I think that “The Falling Star” has better writer’s craft. I especially like its rhyming. For example, if it didn’t have rhymes, it would probably not sound as good. Ex: sky and through would not sound as good as sky and by. Another example is that the rhymes have the same sound at the end that is spelled the same way, like hold and sold.
This is why I choose “The Falling Star”.
-Adelaide
The First poem, “The Falling Star” has more meaning to me because it talks about how a star is siding down the sky. It says that it is so lovely to be sold. What I think this means is that. You can’t sell anything that is nature. This is what I think the meaning of the poem is.
ReplyDeleteI can connect to the poem , “ The New Suit” because once when I was little I dressed up for a party. When I ot to the party I could not have fun because I was to caught up in protecting my clothing. This a connection I can make with the poem , “ The New Suit”.
The poem, “ The New Suit” to me has better writer’s craft . I think this because of it’s great imagery. For example, the first stanza says, “Striped suit, terrific tie,buttoned shoes, Brown socks. I can just imagine that outfit. Another craft I saw was Alliteration. For example, “Striped suit, terrific tie,”This is only a fraction of craft I saw.
As the winner I chose , “ The Falling Star”
-Lucas Scott Tarquine
I really like “ New Suit,” it has a lot of meaning to me. One meaning to me is that I have definitely been to a party and people have told me to not drip ice cream on my dress. Another reason why It has a meaning to me because my dad hates it when I taunt him. On do not spill that do not spill this when he has a new suit.
ReplyDeleteMy connection is what I just said as the meaningful. It is all that stuff up their , but I have one more. My connection is that I am Going to a party today and I have to wear a really nice dress. I hope that they don’t give me rules on how to wear my dress.
The writer's craft that I really liked was probably the imagery. For example, You could see a person telling the guy that is wearing the new suit don’t drip ice cream or don’t drip juice it will make a mark. That is why I choose “ New Suit.”
-Katherine
The Poem that is most meaningful to me is “The Falling Star” because I like how it says it doesn’t just fly by it slides by. I also like how it says “And then forever to be gone.” because when you see a shooting star you not going to see that exact one.
ReplyDeleteI can make a connection to “The Falling Star.” Once I saw a shooting star, but I only saw it for a brief second. So I ran into My house and told my parents. Now I know what she means by it sliding down the sky.
I like Nidia Sanabria De Romero’s craft because it has alliteration. For example, striped suit and terrific tie. There is also repetition. For example, they say a lot of recommendations. They also said that they learned something from that experience: Wear old clothes next year.
I choose the “The New Suit”
