In Ms. Budzelini’s 8th grade class, we read “How to Triumph like a Girl” and thought about the way the poet was able to show us new parts of her personality through the metaphor of a horse. The students thought about what animal would be a metaphor for the parts of them that not everyone sees.
Busy Bee
-Analisa O
The bee flies from one flower to another pollinating
all the growing plants it can.
I like the bees best in the insect world. Buzzing around everywhere at once zipping through
the garden of fruits and flowers.
I think about the responsibility the tiny but important
bug must do to survive. I think about how no matter
how tiny the bee is they never go un-noticed. Either for
its sting, or its buzz.
Just like an ant
-Christian A
An ant is how I feel
ants always work hard how I do too.
An ant always brings gifts to their queen
just like how I love to give.
An ant cares and loves their queen the most
how I love and care about the people
in my life. Ants love giving affection to their queen
like how I love giving affection. Ants
are small on the outside but have a big personality on the inside.
The Sun Shines Bright
-Alexander
As I emerge from my cocoon
I look for food in a bright array of daisies. The sun
burning bright, its light guides
me. Soon enough the rain starts
to pour. Looking for shelter under
a leaf, I start to flutter. Late the
sun shines bright once again. I am
able to guide myself through the field.
I spread my wings once again.
