I wandered lonely as a cloud poem response (By William Wordsworth)
The connections I made to the title was when your friends ditch you and you are trying to find a new friend or two. That's sad cause if I was like that I would want a warm hug from Olaf.
The poem was organised in four stanzas each with six lines and the rhyming pattern was ABABCC ABABCC ABABCC ABABCC.
The tone of the poem for me was happy and at the same time sad and pale. I think it was happy when it says "golden daffodils" and I think that it is sad when it says "They flash upon that inward eye" and pale when it says "I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills".
The poetic devices in this poem are personification, simile, hyperbole and alliteration. There is alliteration when it says "but be" there is hyperbole when it says "ten thousand I saw at a glance" because well there are not that many daffodils so it is an exaggeration there is another one when it says " a host of golden daffodils" because daffodils are yellow and how can they be hosts?. There a simile when it says "continuous as the stars that shine" and there is lots of personification like when it says " fluttering and dancing in the breeze" and "tossing their heads" and the waves beside them dance" there is two more the second to the last one that I found was "outdid the waves in glee" and last but not least "and dances with the daffodils".
I think the meaning of the poem is thinking about not losing your friend and what you can see around you when you pay attention to the things in our world.

If poetry response
The author of this poem is RUDYARD KIPLING.
The connections that I, made to the title was if something happens out of the blue or suddenly to you but you don't expect it to happen.
The poem was organised like 4 stanzas each with 8 lines and the rhyming pattern is AAAABCBC ABABCDCD ABABCDCD ABABCDCD.
The tone of the poem for me was when you read this poem it feels like it's the boys dad or mum saying advice to their son so that he knows what to do when he gets older I think that because it says “And which is more you’ll be a man my son!”
The personification and hyperbole. There is Hyperbole when it says "to keep your head when all are losing theirs" And "You can meet with T
riumph and Disaster". There is personification when it says "Don't deal in lies" and "can dream and not make your dreams your master" last of all "treat those two imposters just the same".
The meaning of the poem for me was when your parents are giving you advice about something and YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION.

Beehive/bees Geometry
Geometry Turtle
This photo is of a turtle that I made for geometry. We were learning about lines of symmetry. Lines of symmetry are when a picture is the same on both sides take a square for example if you fold it in half horizontally or vertically and the are the same shape on each side then that is symmetry when you fold a square diagonally then it will be the same shape so as you can see squares have many lines of symmetry.
I hope you like my turtle can you give me feedback? What can I do to improve?

Sympathy poem response.
The connections I made to the title were when something happens to your friend and you feel sad for them and show empathy and know the right things to say.
The poem was organised in three stanzas each with seven lines and the rhyming pattern is ABAABCC, ABAABAA and ABABBCC.
For me the tone of the poem makes me feel sad because it's about a bird trapped in a cage. (I love animals and I could never dream of hurting them!)
The poetic devices in this poem are rhyming, simile when it says "the river flows like a stream of glass, alliteration "heaven he", personification when it says "cruel bars" "beats his wing" "bird sings", metaphor when it says "caged bird feels" because it is comparing when you are in a situation when you feel like a caged bird and hyperbole when it says "I know why the caged bird sings" because he can not know.
The meaning of this poem for me is when you show sympathy to someone you care for who has been in some hard times.
How have I done? What could I do to improve my work? Send me a comment to tell me what to change.😊😉😌😄
