the three blogs i chose to look at were Daniel's blog, MY blog, these books we live in. all of these blogs are from Ms.Galangs class.
All of these blog posts are poems and i really enjoy them because they all have a very different aspect to them.for example Daniel uses objects to describe his feelings towards the board of education in NYC because it is effecting him and he is using his personal experiences to make a genuinely interesting view to the education in NYC. in Preston's blog he uses a little boy to simplify something much bigger because it as if you send out a spy and you think they die and then they come back with important information but it's closer to your heart because it's a little boy instead of a spy. in Johny's blog he describes the Mona Lisa in a very interesting way how she looks and her back story in a way.
are you happy

painted poetry complete with murder in side me super calafragilisticexpealadochus gang green and meat grinders!

black, yellow, red, and blue the colors of the murder inside me
the beast slowly consuming my dreams and hopes as the memories reappear
meat grinders
people slowly are dragged away as this land is no longer
supercalafragilisticexpealadochus and is left to gang green
meat grinders
they came from the hills destroying the suburban people
putting the bodies through they're snarling teeth turning them into bloody wood chips
meat grinders
i only hoped they would go easy on the children but they didn't
they gave them gang green and tickled them until they were stumps
meat grinders
i watched as the euphoria of Pitts Burg was destroyed in front of my eyes
they ate all of the cosmo magazines and burned our vitamin water and soda
meat grinders
i feel jumping into a meat grinder as an emotion, am i crazy
or was it the meat grinders that made me this way
meat grinders

Flanders field
In Flanders fields the poppies blow (1)
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
in this poem it stirs up lots of conflict because it has soldiers in a cemetery the had lived only a couple of days ago. i assume that these people were killed in action but they may have died in an accident. it talks about fond memories of their lives before they died. if i were the person who wrote this poem i would include family members and memories of them and have final words to them. the narrator was a soldier in the battle in which he and his con rads died in.he speaks of memories that he now cherishes because he can no longer see them. this character reminds me of someone very wise who once made a wrong decision and suffered greatly for it. the poem also ends with a peaceful ending and an image of peace and calmness. i guess that this symbolizes happiness the ending and peace in going to the next world.

the city of glass #2
Clary the main character in the story has met her mother who is now well and in Idris with after recovering from a drugged sleep. Clary has just found out that her supposed "brother is actually not related to her but a family friends. see that seems fine but the baby was cut out of his mothers stomach before she died at nine months pregnant. First of all that is just sick and cannot be redeemed but this was Clary's father the evil antagonist valentine who experimented on his own children with demon and angel blood.
I can connect to this because i have seen the movie the x-files 2 which is about a guy who cuts off peoples body parts for another guy who has lung cancer. It's the same sort of experimental jist but worse in a way. Is it ever okay to ever experiment on your own children before they are born? My answer to that question is no and i don't get why any father would be able to harm their own unborn child that they are going to nurture and take care of.
Valentine answer is that he wants to create a super race of people that will be able to do much more than any normal shadow hunter would be able to do. This reminds me of world war two and the nazi regime and how they experimented on their captives for their own safety. except this is not for his own safety this for Valentines self gain.

the city of...... wha?
in this part of the city of glass the lightwoods have just been shortened by one because the youngest child ha just been killed. little max was only nine years old, he was killed by his family member who was actually a spy for valentine. sebastian killed max so he would not witness the attack on Alicante. many other people were killed in this attack but max was a key person even though he was a minor character he was still an important icon of innocence. Maxs death has left the lightwoods hurt and sorrowful, many others have died in this attack too so there are more shadow hunter families unavailable. this being so I predict that now is the time valentine will strike.

The Love The Conflict And The Secret
In the City Of Glass there is a Love, a secret, and conflict.
The Love is shared between a brother and a sister, Jace and Clary. in this love that they share they are inclined to be together even though they are brother and sister and they know it is wrong. they feel inclined to love each other I think that this is so because they did not grow up together and do not know what it is like for siblings to love each other. I also think that they love each other because they aren't completely brother and sister this will be explained when the secret is revealed.
The Secret of Clary and Jace is that they are not completely shadow hunters. It turns out that their sick and twisted father distorted them while they were being conceived. Their father Valentine enhanced Jace's DNA with demon blood and angel blood so he is a divine and damned being so he is created into the perfect warrior. Clary's blood is infused with only the blood of an angel, this makes her divine and enables her to create new runes that give people special powers. Clary is also able to create portals which supposedly only warlocks can do but she can do it just if she wants too.
Now for the Conflict. In the current part of the book the holy city of shadow hunters ( Alicante ) is under attack of Valentine and his demon army. He is attacking and destroying the city because he wants to show what he can do and become the ruler of the world and all that stuff. He needs help to take over Alicante from his two lovely children. they will not help him but he's doing it anyway so who knows what's gonna happen you'll have to find out next week heh heh heh.
