The second poem, "The Castle in the Fire", is about a knight who saves a princess.
I picked "The Castle in the Fire" because it had more detail, it is a story, and it also has alliteration. For example,the author says, "Then, while we watch in wonder." The Castle in the Fire also had great imagery. I could really picture the dragons guarding the castle and the knight saving the princess. It felt like a storybook to me. That's why I chose The Castle in the Fire.

Life Doesn’t Frighten Me is about a person who says that nothing frightens that person and that person names a bunch of animals. Also the person names how the person scares the animals away.
ReplyDeleteSome One is about a kid you say that someone is at his door and he has no clue. Then he says he does not hear anything.
I like Some One because it talks about Some One knocking one the person door, and I think it's interesting. Also the rhyme scheme is A,B, C. Another piece of writers craft is that it says that crickets are whistling. My favorite part is when it says that he opened the door and it said nobody was there. I could imagine somebody knocking on a door.
