The last day of 8th grade had finally come (1) They were laughing and crying all at the same time (2) The day the two besties had to part- (3) Was so much harder than they thought (4) They were laughing and crying all at the same time - (2) For the school day was now over and nothing could be done (5) The day the two besties had to part- (4) How hard this was, I would’ve never thought (6) For the school day was now over and nothing could be done (5) Just saying the goodbyes would always hurt (7) How hard this was, I would’ve never thought (6) And now all I wish for is the way things were(8) One of the master poetry techniques was imagery. The line that is highlighted in yelloy is the imagery, it helps create a picture of what was going on. The line that is highlighted in the pink is the master poetry technique is tone. In my head it sounds like I was happy for the last day of 8th grade, but I wasn't. I was actually very upset. 2) original poem - identify two master techniques by "qouting the line" under the poem = name the technique

** Friendship is a wonderful thing. Knowing that you have friends to make you feel better when you’re down, someone to make you laugh, someone to tell you “it WILL get better,” but what if that all was taken away? What would happen? Depression? Stress? Only the ones who have lost their friends would know. ** ** You see, I have not lost my friends, I have just moved on from those memorable middle school days. The days when I didn’t have a care in the world, the days when the sun was always bright and the sky was always blue, but ever since high school started things have gotten…complicated. I had no time to worry about seeing old friends, no time to see that the sun was growing weaker and the sky growing grayer. ** ** Friendship is a wonderful thing, especially when you know that your friends will go an ** extra mile just for you. ** Once you realize that, that is when the sun will once again be bright, when the sky will be bluer than ever and you, ** you will once again feel at peace. The two master techniques I chose are metaphor and cool, vivid words. The metaphor is highlighted in green, this doesn't mean that a friend would walk a whole mile just for you but they would do anything to make you feel better. the cool, vivid word is highlighted in blue. In this sentence peace is really emphasized to make you feel, well, at peace. 3) poem by another author
 * Fire and Ice **

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

Robert Frost
