Poems ..favourtie

My favourtie poem would have to be Understanding by Nancy Prasad. I chose this one because its telling you what a poem really is. I think it tells you that even though they are writting it abou them it can also mean just as much to us. We might actually really get something out of reading this because it could relate to us somehow. It also tells us how one poem can make such a diffrence and if it has an impact on you its yours to explore.

Poems

I think that this poem is kind of about sadness. They little boys grandpa dies and the father has always encouraged him to write poems when thing are hard to cope with. The little boy finally writes one about his grandpa. I think the dad finally feels like he did something really good for his son, even during this time of difficulty. I agree with the fact that you need some way to just let all you emotions out. I think poetry is feelings in a form of art. I think it can also be used to help you get over something without getting aggressive.

Group Novels

I read The Heaven Shop for our group novels. After seeing presentations about other books I think that if i had to choose another book to read I would've chosen stones. It looked like a very interesting book about friendship and saving spirits from bad spirits. I think that it would be a kind of book that I would enjoy reading. I think it also helped that the group presenting made it interesting.

The Heaven Shop#5

During the last part of the book Junie comes to her grandmas and the two are finally together again. Junie and Binti go on a little adventure to Monkey Bay to find Kwasi. Upon there arrival they find out Kwasi is in jail, after they get him out they head back to there grandmothers. Its very hard for there grandma to be able to support all the children, Kwasi, Junie and Binti decided to re-open The Heaven Shop just now in a new location. They also found out that Junie has AIDS. Overall i really liked this book I thought it was very well written. I would definitly recommend this book to kids our age, I do however think it is geared towards girls.

The Heaven Shop #4

During the 4/5 part of the Heaven Shop Binti lives with her grandma. She meets her cousin Memory and she can do everything just a little bit better then Binti does. She is kind of envious because she isn't as good with the chores as Memory. If I was Binti I would feel sad because her life was so good before and now she lives in a shack with 12 kids. I hope for Binti's sake she finds her brother and sister soon.

The Heaven Shop #2

So far this book has been very good, better then I thought. Lately in the book Binti's dad has become very ill. So sick that Junie and Binti had to stay home from school to take care of him. One day the owner of the coffin shop near by came over and helped Junie and Binti take there dad to the hospital. Soon after he sadly died. I feel bad for the children because there aunts and uncles arn't treating them very nicely because they think that since there dad died of AIDS that they have it to.
