Gian's Sand Grains of Thoughts

Underground Railroad

Dear Dirty Joe,                                                                                                                      5-5-1855

I am in the North area of Texas. I am running away to Mexico because Mexico is the closest and the owner sold my brother to the south area of Texas. So I could go get him while I'm on my journey. Our feet were covered with mud so they could not track us. We also walked only in the night and in the day we went into the bushes to hide. Our conductor was Mr. smith. I was trembling with fear every second because I could get caught at any moment  but I felt excited because I was on a secret mission. I would be a store  owner selling bread.

                                                      Sincerely, Old Hawk

Figurative Language

This post is about figurative language.Hyperbole means saying things are greater than they really are. example:the mansion is bigger than the Falling Tower of Pizza. Metaphor is describing something by comparing to something else Example:The bus is a Twinkie.

Math Division

In math we have been learning long division. Have you heard of "does McDonald's serve biscuits?". That stands for divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down. Division is basically putting numbers in bigger numbers as many times I as it can. Is kind of the opposite of multiplication. Example: 4÷2=2

My Opinion

What do you think about the the boy that was burned in Iraq? I think it was a good thing that he was sent to America. He probaly would have been shot, killed, or got a horrible disease if he was still there if he was still there

My Favorite Comment

Comments is the best part of blogging! Comments make you feel special inside. This is one of my favorite comments I received:

"Hi Gian! I'm Laura, and I'm from a near by high school.
You're poem is really good. In one of my classes earlier in the year we had to write an "I Am" poem, and we had to write the poem as if we were a character from the story we read!
From the looks of you're poem it seems like you like to read fantasy books!

Do you like to write poetry?"

The reason I liked this comment was it made me feel positive  instead of negative. It also shows that  I made great blog.
