English Middle School

In the novel "The Crossover", Ode to My Hair"

If my hair were a tree
I’d climb it.
I’d kneel down beneath
and enshrine it.
I’d treat it like gold
and then mine it.
Each day before school
I unwind it.
And right before games
I entwine it.
These locks on my head,
I designed it.
And one last thing if
you don’t mind it:
That bet you just made?
I DECLINE IT.



What is this writing a form of?

Answers

Answer 1
It’s a repetition, rhyme, and personification.

Explanation: The poem repeats “it” a lot in this poem which would make it a repetition poem. When it says “you don’t mind it” and “I DECLINE IT” it rhymes. When it says “If my hair were a tree I’d climb it” that is personification because it gives something nonliving a living trait.

Hope this helps

My best friend and I were walking down the busy street after school on a warm Wednesday afternoon. My friend suddenly halted to a stop with no explanation. She then crouched down on her knees. I was curious but also confused since we were in a hurry to get to her house to start on a school project. Under a small box to the side I noticed a ball of black fur. My friend reached out her hands and brushed off the small, delicate kitten. I realized she had stopped to rescue this kitten out of the kindness of her heart.

Answer:

I was with my brother, we were walking home from school. He was angry, disappointed and annoyed. He was yelling at his phone. I didn't know why he was yelling so I kept playing Fortnite on my phone. He hung up the phone after yelling for 10 minutes at most. He told me to keep walking and he would follow. He was panting like a dog so I told him to rest and tell me what was wrong. He was telling me how his best friend was leaving his friend group for a YT career. I of course didn't understand and told him "that's what I like to call a fake friend, you have more friends than just him, right?!" He smiled and got up and said let's go!

GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What is the main point of the descriptive details at the beginning of the second paragraph?

To place the reader in the moment of the first landing
To describe what the colonists were up against
To create a sense of fear and anxiety
To end the journey on a hopeful note
