Lord of the Flies Tanka

"An accident"

He was convinced about that

But that was murder

Kill...Spill blood...The only thing thought

“God will never forgive us”

You Can’t Have It All

By Sofia Lopez

But you can have your little sister asking to put her favourite channel at 6 am because she accidentally woke up like your friend in kindergarten wanting to borrow your favourite toy.

You can have your 12-year-old cousin messing up every single thing in your room.

You can have your dog asking you for food, while he is chewing his favourite toy and you can have your cat looking at your dog from the inside with an evil face expression.

You can have your mom telling you over and over to clean your room like your favourite song on your iPod, the one you listen over and over again without getting bored.

You can have Beethoven waking you up every morning when you are at your aunt’s house. You can have your life planned, but you know that not everything is going to happen as you want thing to happen, you have to live it as it is going on.

You can have a fear, death, but you know that one day will happen and when that day comes for your loved ones, just accept it, hard task, but you got to be strong.

You can have your dad dancing at a party, making ridiculous, but the only thing that matters to him is to dance and have fun. You can have your little sister beautiful drawing she made for you and then realizing that she didn’t paint only the sheet of paper she also painted the pink walls of your bedroom. 

You can have a dream, a dream you can accomplish, that depends on your own decisions; every day work harder and anything you can do… do it, but remember something, never exceed your limitations.

You can have thousands of friends, but there will be only a few that will be by your side in your good and bad times no matter what, and those are what people often call; true friends.

You can have many songs you like, but you know there is one in between all of them that makes you feel different, special, and extraordinary and makes you feel butterflies on your stomach, the one you listen over and over again, the one you listen in every occasion of the day, that one.

You can have souvenirs from a lot of countries and say you visit all of them, but you know is not true and that you said that just to pretend you are interesting, you can’t have it all, but there is this, and you should appreciate what you have and not want more than you can have, everything has to be valued. 

Soft Mint- Benjamin Moore 2041-60

by Sofia Lopez

The smell of food,

Smelt everywhere,

Praised throughout the house,

Lunchtime had arrived

Whole family was gathered

Delighting in the delicious food,

Children’s laughter could be heard everywhere,

Everyone was having a great time

A sunny day

Where heat penetrates the entire body

The family decided to go to the beach

All gathered in the car

Singing love songs,

As they usually do when they go in the car,

Suddenly everything went dark

The sound of people running

That was the only thing she could hardly hear,

Her heart beat with less force each time,

And little by little she stopped breathing

The boys and his dad returned home,

Nothing was the same,

An empty seat on the table,

An empty space on their hearts,

Two red lines appeared on the bathroom,

That was impossible

Two years ago

He received terrific news,

He wouldn’t be able to be dad again...

So then, how was his wife pregnant again?

That only meant one thing

His sweet,

Gorgeous,

Lovely,

Splendid,

And handsome wife,

Cheated on him

How was this possible?

And what if these are only assumptions?

But wait,

He remembered something

That night,

Not long ago,

His wife arrived really late

She looked nervous,

Confused,

But no word was said

This will be forgotten

He’ll never know what really happened,

Will have been his fault?

"I do not think so"

Deplorable,

He stopped breathing.

Book Review

 

 Publisher: Harper Trophy

Genre: Fantasy

Where I got it: My mom brought me the seven books of The Chronicles of Narnia from New York.

One sentence summary: The four Pevensie children from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe are called back to Narnia when Caspian, the nephew of the evil usurping ruler, sides with the true Narnians to oppose him.

First sentence of the book: Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, and it has been told in another book called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe how they had a remarkable adventure.

First Chapter Review: Prince Caspian begins with the four Pevensie children at the station waiting for the train that would take them to school for the year. Before the train gets to them, they begin to feel the pull of magic on them, and they find themselves in a place they assume to be Narnia. However, they are on an island and they cannot find anything that they recognize from their first trip. When they go to explore the nearby ruins, they discover that they are in the remains of what had once been the castle of Cair Paravel.

Verdict: This is an engaging and interesting book, and it’s one of my favourites from The Chronicles of Narnia and I would read it again and again.

Cover Comments: Well, in the cover you can see that is illustrated Prince Caspian with a sword, you can see Aslan and on the back part you can see four teenagers with swords and they seem to be fighting-you can assume that they are the Pevensies. 

We need an assembly

By Sofia Lopez

An assembly,

The place looked so different

Green roof,

Golden reflections,

Moved impatiently,

Feel into a strange mood,

A chief,

A decision,

Step by step,

Faced the place of assembly,

Filled quickly,

Including the littluns,

We need an assembly,

No one said anything,

We need an assembly,

Not for fun,

Not for laughing,

Not for making jokes,

For cleverness

Everybody enjoys,

Enjoys speaking,

Being together,

We decide things

Simple words

Were said,

I am speaking,

And lifted the conch

There’s another thing,

There’s no water,

We need an assembly,

People drink from the river,

Shells are dry

The place of assembly,

The time of assembly,

They never had an assembly as late before,

There’s something to fix,

We need an assembly.
