My Poem
I love watching classic movies. MY favorite is Scarface, The Good, Bad and Ugly, and many more. This is my poem.
Narrative Poem
Tommy was walking down the mean streets of California
He was with his gangsta friends of a secret criminal society
As he was walking he sees a fast bullet
The bullet was as fast as a water balloon
He saw the bullet aiming for his friend Tony
He remembered the bullet go through Tony’s Blood Tissue and the blood spilling
He saw the assassin was Al Capone
One of the most violent infamous gangstas in American History
He gained notice during the Prohibition Era of 1920’s and 1930’s
Smuggling and bootlegging liquor
Tommy didn’t know what to do to face peer pressure or just leave
He had a Mac .10 gun on him with 36 bullets
He notice AL Capone was with his gang members a lot
The media was giving $60, 000, 000 for anyone who killed Al Capone
All his members was fighting for that money
His friends pulled out their pistols and started firing
In anger Tommy pulled his gun and started shooting Al Capone
Al Capone and his henchmen had AK 47 on them.
He knew 1 bullet could kill Al Capone and collect the bounty
When he fired a shot it went right through Al Capone’s eye
Al Capone fell motionless like falling off a balcony
When he wanted to celebrate his defeat and get ready to celebrate
His own friends in jealousy and hate started shooting him
As he fell it felt like a piano falling off a roof

Blog Postings For This Unit
In this unit as you know we are doing book clubs. My book is "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. The theme is "Lonely" because in the book my main character now has no friends after Kyle Rodger's party." After she opened her mouth on the party and called the cops and they arrested her friends brother or relatives. Now it's her freshman year in High School and she has no friends and her life is horrible. Her life goes right down the drain. She has a man vs society in the story. She has conflict over a large body of people. I believe the author's purpose is to entertain and inform. I believe entertain to have us get really in the book and makes the book seem fun in a kind of way. I also believe inform because she wants to inform us that high school is going to have some rough times and to get us to know how high school is. She did this because she wants to maybe relate to a time she had a rough time in high school. Mostly this unit takes place in the school and at home. To me I would describe the characters in this story as not nice people. I mean I understand if someone calls the cop on you it is a reason not to talk to them but to ignore her completely it is not necessary. That was your best friend before and at least ask her "Why did she snitch on the party."
Melinda life is so down the drain because now she cuts school to go to the mall and she also for lunch go in the janitor's closet to avoid the embarassment in the lunchroom. I think she needs to settle her problems face to face instead of hiding forever. Running never settles anything it makes matters even worse. She tries to talk to her former best friend name Rachel but she ignores her like she never heard anything she said. Now Melinda life is completely ruin because she lost her new best friend Heather. She was never Melinda's best friend she just needed someone to talk to. She tells her that they are completely different and they never got the chance to really know each other. As I said before I believe Melinda is going to find out what really happened at Kyle Rodgers party and "Why did she opened her mouth and tell the police." Who knows maybe just maybe she might regain back her friends. The main thing I want to know is "What would happen in the story if she never snitched on Kyle Rodger's party and how her life would have been".

Theme
The theme in my book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson is "Lonely". She is a total outcast and now she lost her best friend Heather. She is now lonely for sure. Another theme that I could think of is "Sometimes Just Shutup". Melinda wouldn't have been in this situation if her mouth never open. Who knows maybe she would have been popular? She is so lonely. All great things end in a suprising way and I believe the book will end suprisingly. There is no doubt about that.
