"Beyond the Clouds and Through the Sky" By: Amelia

Beyond the Clouds and Through the Sky

By: Amelia Pena

Have you ever wondered
what was up in the sky?
What is beyond the clouds?
Is it possible that there is 
a heaven beyond the sky?

There has to be something
beyond life, is or could it
be heaven.
Will I ever be up there?
I hope so!

My Skin

My skin

By: Amelia Pena

My skin is a battlefield
It is as if it were at war.
I have many soldiers that are in the battlefield,
fighting to the death, marching, and listening ,
as they feel what has yet to come

My skin is a bulletproof vest
Nothing is able to break through my unbreakable skin,
No matter how difficult it is my skin is like a watch dog.
They say my skin is weak, but nothing has got through it,
so how can it be weak, but it is strong
My skin is my skin.

Dog of Pompeii

        I can use one word to describe both Bimbo and Tito. One word I would use to describe Bimbo is selfless. One quote from the text that shows that Bimbo is selfless says, "Then, suddenly, he understood. Bimbo was telling him the way out - urging him there. He turned, Bimbo guiding him across open pits and dangerous pools of bubbling mud, away from buildings that had caught fire and were dropping their burning beams." I picked this quote because it shows how the dog is so selfless, that instead of running off to save his own life, he stayed and helped Tito get away from the burning buildings. He put his own life in danger to save another life instead of his.
        One word to describe Tito is observant.  One quote from the text that shows that Tito is observant in the text says, "Tito could not see the faces of the actors, he could follow the play better than most of the audience, for their attention wandered - they were distracted by the scenery, the costumes, the by-play, even themselves - while Tito's whole attention was centered in what he heard." I picked this quote because it shows that while he is in the theater and can't really see there faces to observe, he is observing by what he is hearing, he is paying close attention to what is said.
