You can't really see the poem so here it is:
"Of course you will. Dozens of people who know you and love you, now are aware that it was only different for a semester. He's going to live." "And me? I wouldn't have lived. Didn't you think of that?" "No." 

     The meaning of this poem is, two people talking about a boy who was just different for a little while. With the girl however, it was completely different. She doesn't think she is okay, she thinks she wouldn't have lived. But, while she was talking to her best friend, she says she had no possible chance of living. Her best friend however, makes her realized it was only different for a little while, that everything will go back together. (It sounds a little repetitive, sorry).

"Have a little faith, four hope was here, never fall down, never say die, start something that matters." 

     The meaning of this poem is, no matter what hardships you go through, you have to have at least some faith. In whatever situation, there will always be hope, even if you are in the darkest of situations. Don't fall down and never try to physically or emotionally self-harm or in  a sense "say die". Instead of sitting there, and being depressed, come out of the situation and "start something that matters." There is a really cool song that goes with this poem, which is underneath this paragraph.

Mockingjay Two Voice Poem!

The green is Katniss (because, it's her favourite color) and the orange is Peeta (it's his favourite). The black in the middle is what they say together. It might seem dark and eery because, well you just have to read the books. You might need to zoom in. MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS

3rd Quarter Reflections :)

     Third quarter is over already? Wow! Did that go fast! I can't believe it's over! Only one more quarter left of school! I feel like just yesterday was the first day of school. The area where I think I improved the most would be writing. I feel like my writing improved a lot more than when I started 7th and even 6th grade! When I look back at my writing from when I was younger I always see grammatical errors, that I can now address and fix. I also learned how to write an objective summary the correct way, and to add no textual evidence. On top of that, I learned how to identify a conjunction and where to put a comma. I think that as I grow (as a writer), I will progress even more with my writing.

     Even though I finished my 40 book challenge, I just want to say it was a lot of fun. I read more books than I ever thought. And even book I thought would be really boring, or just for old people. I figured out I am a sucker for novels and traditional literature. The hardest part of the challenge was probably informational/nonfiction and science fiction. It was just because, I am more of a fiction or realistic fiction reader. I think if you just take your time with the challenge and don't stress it, you're going to finish it.

     The most challenge part of 3rd quarter was probably keeping my grades up, (there wasn't really a struggle in this class, so in general.) I think it was a lot more hard to keep my grades up than first quarter or sixth grade. I started with really low grades and eventually worked my way up to A's and B's. I feel that third quarter was the hardest quarter so far, it was filled with worry and stress about my grades. Which had a really bad effect on me.

   

What Shall I Do Today? Extended Poem by Me:)

Does anyone know where the phrase "what shall I do today" is from? Hint: red braids, mismatching socks, monkey and horse! Good luck;)

Go to a rally?

Or go to a play?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do?

I would see an old friend!

I would see a great drama!

But, would I have fun at the play?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do?

I would be with my friends!

I would hear a great story!

But, would my friend be mad, for not going to her play?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do?

Friends, or church?

Drama or rally?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do today?

What shall I do?

I decided the rally,

For I would have a lot of fun.

I met a new person,

And got free food.
