Messy Room

by Shel Silverstein

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!

For this blog-post, I did a poem. The poem is called Messy Room by Shel Silverstein. This poem is very great because it is very relatable to many children and teenagers out there. This poem even relates to me. I do have a messy room every once in a while and I get this same feeling. I sometimes even blame it on my siblings just like the author did, "Donald or Robert or Willie or--". Even my brother does the same to me.

This poem is recommend for all types of people because this can actually be relatable to anyone. This adds some humor to adults who read it and have to clean up their children's  mess.

I like this poem a lot because this has a great meaning with it.

Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face

by Jack Prelutsky

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.

Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.

Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!

For this post I did a poem. The poem is called Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face by Jack Prelutsky. This poem has a great meaning which goes along it. No, the theme is not to be glad your nose is where it is, the theme is be glad of what you have. 

In the poem it states, "Be glad your nose is on your face, not pasted on some other place". This goes very well with the stated theme. It means be glad of what you have and don't be jealous of what other people have. In the poem it also states, "for if it were where it is not, you might dislike your nose a lot". This also goes great with the theme because it states that if you had something else than what you already have, you will just get sad and want what ever you originally had.

The author has advance with the theme because at the beginning of the poem she just states to be glad you have a nose which is on your face, later in the poem she finds examples which helps support that claim.

This is a great poem because it has a great meaning of which come along with it.

Maximum Ride: Finished

        I finished reading the book Maximum Ride by James Patterson and overall the ending was great and I recommend this to everyone.There was a great deal of drama in this book with Fang and Max, yes I know right who would of guessed, "the gang" trying to save Angel and much more.  She had to go through a great deal of pain and a live a nightmare to save Angel who was experimented by a crew of wack jobs. During the journey, Max discovers from her old friend and her father-figure, Jeb ( he betrayed her and is Max's greatest enemy) that her purpose in life was to save the world.

       In my other posts I have said that I would write about how Max is a dynamic character. In the book Max is saving her "flock" member, she realized many things. She realized that her duty in the world is to save it from any damage done to it and she learned many things about herself like who her father was. She was more of a character, in the beginning, that wanted to go fast and painlessly and saved Angel, she had to change that and realized that she had to live a nightmare to save her and the world.

        This is a great story for many different readers for all different ages. I recommend this to everyone. I liked the vast knowledge of vocabulary the author has put into this. This is a type of book I could never ever put down that I even have to be forced to stop reading from my parents. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read.
