Idioms

Let the cat out of the bag
Barking up the wrong tree
All bark and no bite




Idioms Poem

I had a friend who
I thought I could trust
but when in conversation
I know that that trust is unjust
In times her words are sweet and clean         
however in a short time
they were ill and mean
thats how I knew
she was all bark and no bite

Song Lyrics

    Songs... Do you like songs?  Let me share with you a certain phrase from lyrics that come from one of my most favorite and treasured songs.  It was sung by my favorite singing group, Celtic Women.  The phrase goes as follows:
     "Far off in the distance a flame is rising high.
          Burning through the shadows and the dark,
       Burning soft and bright,
          Dancing with the light.
       Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth"

These words are so precious to me because they remind me of the rising sun
breaking through the night, bringing hope and life to our planet.  When I think of darkness, it brings nothing but loneliness, pain, and sorrow.  These words also remind me of one special, particular individual who sacrificed His life, upon which brought despair and fear upon the land.  However, He rose up again with the rising Sun, bringing back hope, love, and happiness.  For He is our Heavenly Father, King Jesus.  I could not ask for a better Father to rely on or depend on to help me when I am down.  That is the greatest gift and blessing to ever be given or receive.





Teachers Responses to Music Questions

     I asked Mrs. "S" what music reminds her of her childhood, she replied "The Sound of Music" , the Monkeys, and the Beatles.  When she said the "Sound of Music", it surprised me because I also loved the movie "The Sound of Music".

Her favorite singer.group/song was "How Long" by Ace.  This song reminds Mrs. "S" of her boyfriend in college and all the wonderful times they had together.

     Mrs. "F" told me that the band "Fun" reminded her of her little boy.  "Wonderful Night" reminds her of her husband.  And, Kenny Rogers reminds her of her dad.    She loves to go to concerts!  Lady GaGa was a special girlfriends' trip.  It was perfect because Lady GaGa is very artistic and crowd was really crazy!  So fun! 

Jack Johnson was her second most memorable concert because the focus was on his lyrics.  It was a 3 hour concert without any breaks!  He sang the whole time, and then joined singing with a Hawaiian

female vocalist.  Their music and lyrics promoted a sense of peace.  At the end,

he also sang 4-5 songs acoustically.

 I talked with Mrs. "K" about radio stations.  She normally listens to FM88.3, The Wind, and 105.9.  She does like to sing along as she listens.

when Mrs. "K" was young, KISS and ACDC were very controverseal and offensive.  Nowadays, she doesn't like rap because the words and meanings of most of these songs are very offensive.  But if it comes to one singer that she really dislikes and absolutely turns the radio off to, it would be Madonna.

Music Influences

     I love listening to music because it gives me a source of freedom and energy.  The reason why I feel this way is because music is such an important art of my life that if I feel sad, or need cheering up, music is always the key thing to make me feel better.
      I could not imagine life without music.  It plays an important role when we dance, in our movies, and when we sing songs.  If we didn't have music, all of those things would never be the same, and life would be extremely dull.
     The two types of music that I am not comfortable with are Rap and Pop.  Sometimes there is unpleasant language.  The language is sometimes inappropriate and can be a bad influence for alot of kids going into their adult years.





Blessings From My Family and Friends

     Blessings .... we may not know what blessings are exactly, but we can all agree they are a great thing to be given on a daily basis.  I would like to share some of the blessings that I have given to my friends and family.
     My Mom always tells me that the way I help and influence people, I am always touching their lives and inspiring them to do things they never thought they could do or would never have thought of before.  When I think about this, it does make sense to me because I always try to help people find their inner strength and voice to help them feel confident in themselves, and to also realize when the odds are against them, to always be strong, never given without a fight.
     For example, when I was young, my mom and dad and I went to a special hospital to look at some medical results reflecting my neck and back to see what they looked like though an MRI point of view.  My mom and dad were the only ones that saw the pictures while I waited outside the room.  And believe me, it wasn't pleasant waiting for the final news.  When my parents finally came out of the room, the expressions on their faces were like nothing I had ever seen before.  My Mom told me that the pictures showed my spine, at C1 in my neck area was being compressed, cutting the blood flow to a minimum.  I broke out in tears finding out this information, especially being told that I could not walk anymore for my safety.   However, this did not stop me from staying on the positive side.  True, I became wheel chair bound, but that did not mean I couldn't do exciting things with my friends and my family no matter how difficult it was.  Knowing this, I realized I have touched so many people's lives by showing them that even a young girl, whose spine is being compressed,  can still function and move about like any other average human.
     There were alot of things I had to do differently.  But that did not bother me, because I knew that alot of other handicapped individuals have the same difficulties as I do.  I hope that my story will inspire them and other people that no matter what, when the odds are against you, stay true to yourself and always remain positive.  Things will tend to go much smoother and easier for them, no matter how difficult they are.

Famous Lines From Famous Novels

Famous Line #1: Through the fence, betwen the curling flower spaces, I could see them hitting.
This line comes from a novel "The Sound and the Fury", written by William Faulkner, 1897-1962. He is know for writing many other works, including "A Fable" and "The Reivers" (1962) which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.



This novel is a story about a family whose reputation has declined over the years. The main characters are Benji, Caddy, Jason, and Quentin. It's divided into 4 sections, displaying different point of view from the three brothers and the author.

Critic's Review: Brook Allen. This is a difficult, complicated, obscure, and discontinuous novel.
Faulkner's works have been placed with the traitions of modernism and the Southern Renaissance.

I probably wouldn't like to read this book because of the amount of time it would take to read it,
due to the fact there are four sections. Although, it does sound like an interesting story. It shows the different personalities of each character. It shows how the boys are different from eaach other, because one is sensible out of the three. The other two are mind lacking in education and sensibility.
It was a crushing story.


Line #2 ...But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his /bear will always be playing......
Novel: The House at Pooh Corner by Alan Alexander Milne. Mr. Milne published this book in 1926. He is an English author who has published Winnie the Pooh and a poem called "When We Were Very Young.

This is a story about two friends, Pooh and Piglet, coming together to make a house for a fellow friend, Eyore. They find a pile of sticks that they can use to build the house. However, when they tried to put the house together, they were unsuccessful. Pooh went with Tigger, a tiger, to tell their donkey friend, Eyore, that Pooh would be willing to let Eyore live in his house. Leaving Piglet all by himself by the pile of sticks, they returned later with their friend Christopher Robin and saw that Piglet had built a tent shaped house all by his little self. He also had created a sign for Eyore in order to help him remember where his house would be. The sign said, "Pooh Corner."
The critic's review shared that this is an example of a sequel in which there seems to be no let down and from all sides, one catches echoes of the most joyous reaction to it.

The reason why I would read this book is because it talks about friendship and how there are many ways you can help a friend no matter how difficult or complicated the situation may be. It is also because it is fun, imaginative, and full of adventure. Kids and adults would love this book and many more of the Winnie the Pooh Books.
