Author note : This is to review the meaning of both poems
In both poems "Field Below" and big yellow taxi had basically the same mood and tone. In the first poem I read Big yellow taxi the mood was sad, sorrow and felt simplicity. The tone the piece had was heart broken because she realized she misses the nature. Same with the second poem I read Field Below has a mood of sorry and the tone is sad the same as the first poem.
Finally,after listening to both songs and re reading the poems I can compare and contrast the two.The first song I listened to was the first poem that I read . In "Big yellow Taxi "the music didn't match up to the poem because,it sounds happy and up beat I don't agree I think the singer should have introduced the tone differently like it is said in the poem.the next song I listened to was "Field Below" the song did match up with the poems mood and tone too
because it was soft and calming just like the poem it really pointed out the part when she sang ancient bruises it stood out and told the reader her point.This shows us how important it is to really express the way the poem is and I think that the first song should have had a different tempo and singer to express the song differently .

Mother to Son (Murder)
Author note: This is a parody on the poem “this is just to say” by Wiliam Carlos William. On the book “Don’t tell” by Elizabeth Chandler The tone is first sweet and persuasive and then it turns into a more evil not sorry part.The mood is hateful and Jealousy.
I have killed your mother
The Jealousy
That was burning inside
of me
and understand
you probably disserved
what came
upon your life
Forgive what I have done
Even though I don’t regret it
So young
So lost
The murder
I have killed your mother
The Jealousy
That was burning inside
of me
and understand
you probably disserved
what came
upon your life
Forgive what I have done
Even though I don’t regret it
So young
So lost
The murder
Character Development Revise
Author note the purpose of writing is the Character Development.
When you read a book do you pay attention to the characters? In the book Don’t Tell by Elizabeth Chandler focuses on mostly the main character Lauren. Have you ever wondered though what role does the main character really have? And what about the features of them and their family?
First of all Lauren, the main character has a lot of features that make her her for example she always wants to be right and wants to be the responsible one she acts like she’s about 72 years old Also Lauren has a goodie good side to her and would rather eat a table then date a guy, mostly because she goes to an all girl school. so she must not talk with any guys. Lauren’s physical description is easy. Although the way she looks doesn’t match her personality at all because,. Lauren has dark chocolate hair that matches her eyes When you think of goodie goodies you think total nerd, Which you kindve stereotype. She also is very skinny like a twig and short like a leporican.
Following on what Lauren looks like, and her physical description .Even though Lauren is the main character I think she has a bigger part in the story other than just that. Her role is to make everything all better. To try and be the sweet and innocent one like Snow White . Her role is to be the responsible one in her family like a grandmother with a house full of children . Which her family needs, Lauren’s mom died at her godmother’s house when she was little. Several years later, she comes back and the community is still the same but, her family has changed. Her cousin Nora must be the dumbest person alive , And when they where kids she was the smartest kid alive. Maybe Her aunts death scarred her for life? That’s What Lauren thought on page 112.Nora’s sister," Lauren’s other cousin" Holly has grown to a young woman who ignores her sister and her mind is in her own little world. Finally her aunt Jule . She tries and forgets about the past and isn’t finical secure.It's like she depends on Lauren without knowing that’s why the family needs someone responsible like Lauren.
In conclusion do you really pay attention to the main character/? If you do it can really help picture what’s happening and what they look like it also give you a lot of deep detail in the characters families overall “Don’t Tell” is a great descriptive book.

Author note: The purpose of this writing piece is to tell about the mood tone and figurative language.
In the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes has a lot of different figurative language used for example when the poet wrote “Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.” it was showing it is a metaphor because it’s writing about one thing as if it was something else and by what he wrote he meant life hasn’t been easy. Another example of figurative language in the poem is personification because when Langston Hughes says “It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up” life can’t really have that. He was saying how life has ups and downs. The figurative language was easy to find but what about the tone and mood? The tone is inspiration because, the mother was trying to tell the son no matter what never give up on yourself life won’t be a walk in the park. Finally the mood the mood of this poem is determination courage. The mother is determined to try to make her son happy and give him great advice.

Care Love Hope
Author note: This is to improve my word choice and sentence fluency. It is a persuasive essay on why I think animals shouldn’t be killed or harmed for their fur.
Did you know each year; more than 40 million animals are killed for their fur? Rabbits, chinchillas, foxes, bobcats, minks and many more other mammals are slaughtered for the profit of poachers. Just the fact of knowing that people kill animals for their fur, doesn’t it make you sick? This means that we can only get fur from animals without harming them for example getting wool can be shaved from sheep, a natural painless process.There are plenty of reasons why killing animals for their fur should be illegal even if it happens to be hunting season. We should protect animals not purposely harm them.
Even though having a fur coat is pretty cool, wearing something that has fur on it makes you even “cooler”, for an animal to wear that is. The process of getting the fur has so much pain involved. Fur farmers get away with cramming minks, foxes, raccoons, and chinchillas into tiny, filthy wire cages where they stay for months up to years, unable to run or play or enjoy any freedom, family, or friendship. They are commonly exposed to snow and sleet in winter and scorching heat in summer and instead of proper food, they eat slop. They receive minimal water, and the animals are killed in frightening, cruel, and most of all, painful ways. Not to mention how the farmers catch the wild animals. Poachers have to set traps up to catch the animals. Something worse than that is they leave the animals in the traps to suffer for days, in all types of weather. The animals grow very hungry and thirsty before some farmers even try to kill them. Many are animals are skinned alive, how barbaric. Sometimes even dogs or cats are caught in the traps by accident!
In addition of animals being caged captured tortured and killed in gruesome farms, since fur these days are looking to be more and more of a fashion trend it has been endangering and threatened species. Many factories keep taking in more and more animals and threaten many different mammals’ species. With certain animals being killed every day there is no hope for them. The factories do this for their satisfaction they don’t think about how many animal families they are harming.
Finally, to protect our animals it is only when people stop buying fur that the fur trade will cease to exist. Do not buy any fur or fur trimmed products and before you purchase anything that looks like fur, be sure to ask the retailer whether or not it is real before making any transaction. You could also buy fake fur, It’s even better because you can’t harm animal and it cost less!
In conclusion anyone can help no matter what laws this country may have. The world should be a place to protect animals stops the fur farms, fur factories and the people buying the fur. It’s cruel and overall disgusting those are the plenty of reasons why killing animals for their fur should be illegal with many supportive reasons. Thank you and please take this in consideration next time you buy real fur.
