When you write in response to a descriptive prompt, remember that you are not being asked to write a narrative with a plot and characters.
your response should describe a physical thing, like a house, a cup, or a face. if you are describing an experience, describe it as one unified thing or a moment in time. for example:
• if you describe a helicopter ride, you might describe the sights, sounds, and emotions of the ride, or you might describe the helicopter, but don’t include the sequence of events that occurred during the ride.
• if you describe a person, describe physical details of his or her appearance—not his or her personality or life history.

write a descriptive poem at least six lines long about an experience or emotion. you may use any poetic structure you want, such as free verse; verse with rhyme and meter; or verse with meter and no rhyme. focus on sensory details. make sure the poem refers to at least three senses. your goal is to make the reader see, hear, touch, taste, or smell the thing you are describing.

plzzz meh i hate poems so much lol

do you know the story wonder?

well on wonder it has different stories from each person and they can all share their thoughts and feeling each not just one. if there was one you would only get to see one persons thoughts and feelings. so do a story point on multiple of the main characters.

hope i !

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
