Slam Poem:I Hate Haters

I hate Haters.

Every part of my life hates that you are a hater.

I just can’t take your hating comments.

You read my posts.

You watch my videos.

and all i get is an hating comment.

if you know you didn’t like it why did you watch it.

I hate it when you type your hating comments

I hate it when you post your comments

I hate the hands you used to type and post your comments.

I hate all the things that helped you type and post the comment.

The worst day of my life hates you and your comments

I regret the day I read your comments.

all other haters hates you.

you are the sharpest pain in my butt

every strand of hair on my body hates you.

all other living people and animals on earth hates you

the food you eat hates you

the clothes you wear hates you

all of your things hate you

the kind of hatred I have for you

is that of when one falls in a pool of poop

or when someone sees a tornado coming up

and knows it is going to take his life.

I hate you with all my life.

Reflections

I think it is easier writing a slam poem because it is all about your emotions and how you feel. It is mostly all about what hurts your feelings, to let people know what they do that hurts your feelings,it helps you to tell people that you don't like what they do if you can't tell them like directly talking to them. I believe it was easy performing the poem up on stage because you don't directly talk to anyone, you may be talking to everyone in general or just one specific person but it is indirectly which makes it easier to perform.

Poem:Where I'm from

I'm from the dryer

and also from the clothespins

from kleenex

I'm from the fish farm

(which pollutes the air

when the water is not changed

and also tastes good when cooked)

I'm from the flower garden

the roof

whose comfort and access to sightsee

i can never forget

as if it was my home

I'm from nature and eye glasses

from uncles and aunts

I'm from engineers

and business tycoons

I'm from God

who created me

and in some verses i can't say

the wonderful things he has done

I'm from John ruskin

cereals and hot chocolate

from my dog that got killed

by the careless drivers

from those who live in the

same building as mine

At the end of the storeroom

were memories of old faces

friends and relatives

to drift in my mind

I am from the moments

taken budding with friends

and relations

a bee in the beehive

The Broken Cup:Poem

The broken cup

i wonder why it broke

and how it broke

the most beautiful cup amongst all

i wish it could be back to normal

it was the cup all other cups were jealous of

the one i was fond of

now its broken

i can't believe it

i have no cup to use

whenever i need to drink

Comparison with the theme of the Pearl.

URL:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8360550.stm(NOTE:copy and paste the URL,if you want to read the article.)

The article is a about a Zambian president Mr Chiluba who was accused of embezzling $500,000( from the public funds by the people,that was meant to be used to build schools,hospitals and facilitate the public places and He also spent out of the public fund trying to prove his innocence against all the prosecution.

This article relates to the theme of the pearl because the Zambian was greedy and cared only about himself and does not care about what he does and the decisions he makes,how they affects others around him. This was what happened to Kino too,before he found the pearl ha cared about his son,wife and others around him, but after finding the pearl he forgets about others and cares only about himself. His intention was to find a pearl that he was going to use to pay the doctor but after finding it,his intention changed completely to wanting the pearl to make him rich. The intention of the President was to serve his country wholeheartedly but when he sees that the country gains a lot of money,he changes his mind to wanting the whole money to himself. That is how i think the article relates to the theme of the pearl.

Daily Reflections

The novella "the pearl" shows the greediness of human beings and how their expectations expand daily as they grow and learn more things in life.

Coyotito got sting by the sting and Juana and Kino were so desperate of curing him because he was their only child and they were afraid of losing him because from the sting,it will turn to a swell and it will turn to a stomach cramp and he will die.So they set out for the river and luckily for them they found a pearl but before they found the pearl they went to the doctor and the doctor ignored them but now they found the pearl and he came to cure Coyotito and after that evil started befalling them.

This shows that people only love those that have what they can give out like money and wealth.It also shows that money is the root of all evil.

This relates to my life because when i did not have so much my friends never felt like i was living because they were all like always spending money and i could not spend as much as they can so this shows that Kino did not have so much as the doctor had expected to have so he treats them like as if they are not important.

This is how it reflects in my daily life.

Daily Reflections

The novella "the pearl" talks about the greediness of people on Earth that they are never satisfied in life,our daily expectations will always expand day by day.
