Ballet

I went to a ballet that was great. My favourite part was when they all wore wigs from the 1700’s. It was my favourite part because they clashed the 1700’s with the 2000’s. I expected to see a little bit more spins and a lot more too-too’s. What I saw was a lot of creativity and sync between the dancers. I also saw that there is a lot of strength in there legs that takes a lot of training. I really liked when they sat on those benches because they sat on them but they still moved around. I also liked the blankets because they looked so graceful and full of life. I also liked the screen in the background because it really lit up the stage. I thought it was amazing that they could stand up on their toes so long. The only thing I think they could work on was that it was a bit messy. Other then that they used the whole stage and did a great job. I would give it 3 out of 4 stars.
That is my reflection on the ballet.

Cut and Paste Poem: Monster Mike

I'll punch a nose in a fight. The moon-bird helps in flight. We beg, we pray, with wonder. Asking for an end.

The Adoration of Magi

This story starts out in Jerusalem where there is a man named Lance. Lance is 42 years old and only getting older. He is starving and their city is really short on supplies. Lance really needs some food, but there is none in this village. Suddenly, he heard horses outside his stone house. He could hear the clanking and clonking of their hooves. He took a step outside of his stone house and there he saw her, the goddess of beauty.

When he looked up to see her, she was as beautiful as the horse she had ridden on. It was a wild breed of war horses. It was obvious that they had been to World War I and back. Lance had heard rumors that she was coming, but did not believe them. Probably because it was said by the towns fool. It was a beautiful sight, but as soon as he thought this she said loudly, “My people, God has sent me down to work miracles.” Suddenly, Lance felt a knot form in his stomach. He found out later that even though she was beautiful outside, inside she was as evil as satin himself.

There was a moment of silence before the goddess yelled, “Everyone has come out of their homes to see me, the goddess of beauty, but you can only get a miracle for a small fee.” As she continued he started feeling hungry. He tried to listen but he couldn’t because the hunger made him distracted. Now it was a ravenous hunger. Then he yelled, “I need FOOD!”

She looked at him weirdly like he was a frog that just talked and said, “Looks like we have our first taker, Lance.”

He didn’t know what came over him but there he was all eyes on him. How did she know his name? It’s not like she was magic. She burst out in laughter and said, “Oh don’t worry Lance, you may not think I know you. The thing is I do.” By now she was not laughing and was very serious. “See, your great uncle was once the owner of the whole world,” she said. Now since Lance didn’t know he had a great uncle he was happy to know he was an owner of the world. Or he used to be. Anyhow the queen got over it and said, “Well since your uncle took the throne from me I will give you nothing.” He thought about this and the situation was terrible. What was he to do?

He started to pray for food, or better yet a feast. Just as he thought this an angel came down and said, “Lance, you have been holy to me your whole life, please except this food offering.” Just like that, a giant feast just popped up in front of him. The angel continued, “As for you goddess I banish you from this land.” But she was already gone. The angel smiled as she disappeared.
