Weekend Post: Storytelling and Poetry: The Baseball


What does the Baseball mean to me?

I think I have an exact idea

A baseball to me represents fun

Just throwing the baseball back and forth is fun

A baseball also represents agility and speed

A baseball is not just an ordinary object

It is a way to help me unwind from stress

A baseball represents youth and how I should enjoy mine

Wacky Web Tales: Storytelling

What Are Friends For?

Last night, as I sat in the living room eating cookies and watching Everybody Hates Chris, the telephone rang. When I picked it up, I heard a(n) hard breathing sound. It was my frantic friend Alex. He told me that he couldn't solve the 5 problems that Ms. Fischerhad assigned for homework. I'm pretty good in math, so it took me only 2 minutes to figure out the answers. “These problems are easy!” I told him. “Use your calculator.” “It's broken!” he said. “I think my little cousin stepped all over it.” “Then you'll just have to use your fingers!” I suggested eagerly. Oh My Gosh!! You're a big help! The next time I need advice, I'll call Jonathan,” he shouted. I don't know why Alex was so mad. Did he want me to give him the answers?

This is the wacky web tales tale that I created just by randomly placing in words that were asked of me in the program. I consider this site a very useful site to little children that want an idea for a short story but don't exactly know where to start because I am certain this program will inspire them to come up with something great.

Scribd.com Review: Poetry

The raven This online app. allows you to publish and discover documents on the internet. Scribd.com works like YouTube, but youcould browse and upload texts instead of videos. You could find and share documents in a Flash format thatbasically loads quickly and it would be easy to read. Searching through the site gets messy, but if you're into browsing and sharing quirky and current documents, Scribd has what you are pretty much looking for. Company reps claim that you'll find more information than on Wikipedia—about 5 billion words against 2 billion. I have used the app and I find it pretty useful to get some good information. A example of A scribed document that I have found would be the 3 page slide of " The Raven" written by Edgar Allen Poe in 1845

Weekend Post: Storytelling and Poetry: The Rose


The rose is a deep expression of sentiments wrapped up

in a vessel that has been burned with the searing pain of a thousand suns

The rose is like the feeling of frolicing in a valley

The rose is as pretty as beauty itself.

The rose is like calmly relaxing on a warm summer day at the beach

The rose is obviously special

The rose is an eternity of broken hearts

The rose is love in the form of an object

The rose is numerous tigers growling and pouncing at their target

The rose is everything I ever worked for and my life story

The rose is me and now the rose is wilted.

The Rose sound bite
