Poem
I used end rhyme, rhyme scheme, and this is a narrative. This isn't on the list of poetry terms, but this poem is a limerick. Or really two limericks put together I guess.
Eating a little peach
Thinking of times
When there were no more rhymes
For me to use in my speech.
When the time came I was ready
I could keep my voice quite steady
I feared I would fail
Speaking with no avail?
But in truth it was over already
A Strange Story Full of Vocab Words
I'm just going to apologize for this before you even read it....
One day, after taking a slew of tests, I walked along the road on the way to the inception of a friend of mine. Although she had reckless tendencies, she was accepted into a sorority. On the way, I met a wandering rogue who desperately craved some excitement, for he too had just taken a large haul of tests. I conceded that I would rather go do something fun than go to a dull inception, so I canceled my rendezvous with my friend (which caused a great deal of strife between us).
We sauntered along until we saw a funny little man soliciting sky diving sessions. We recklessly went and did it. Halfway through the sky, I discovered that my parachute was faux! What a grievance. I was certainly in jeopardy. Did they not know that selling faux parachutes was prohibited?
Luckily, the rogue saved me. When we landed, we went on a crusade against the man that gave me the faux chute. We indicted him of attempted murder, and that resulted in the seizure of his license to sell parachutes, and his incarceration.

ATDPTI
The kindness of this human race never ceases to amaze me. I feel like with the news and the media and everything else, we focus on the bad people too much.
Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian captures this kindness when his new friends at Reardan help him out. Penelope shows true empathy in several spots, and even defies her own father's hatred of Indians.
Even when everyone else around her is being racist, she still pulls through for Junior. That thought has stuck with me throughout all of this book.
Research
What I have learned about research through this project is mainly credibility of sources. I have determined that sources I once considered trustworthy may not be, and that certain sources I considered untrustworthy may be usable after all. Apparently, wikipedia is actually useful if I check the "references" and "bibliography" sections. I can look at those sources and get my information from them.
I also learned that my notecards weren't necessarily going to be even. Out of seven sources, I'm not going to have exactly 5 cards per source. I will probably have 10 for one and 3 for another and that's okay. Some of my sources were light in information but nevertheless were crucial to my paper.
So, in short, I learned to lighten up a bit. Lightening up allowed me to be less tense and to do my best.
