My wonder poem
Layers
By Zachary Mashaal
Why do onions make you cry?
When reminiscing those times gone by?
Visiting your grandfather’s grave, remembering his voice telling me to behave.
When reminiscing those times gone by?
Visiting your grandfather’s grave, remembering his voice telling me to behave.
Why does a bully never see the tears? Why do the bullied stay quiet year after year?
Not wanting to let go before they fly, at the airport with that long inevitable sigh.
Not wanting to let go before they fly, at the airport with that long inevitable sigh.
That eighth birthday when your Dad couldn’t stay.
The final baseball game where no one came to see you play.
Your Grandmother slowly drifts away as she forgets your name day after day.
The final baseball game where no one came to see you play.
Your Grandmother slowly drifts away as she forgets your name day after day.
A man’s best friend lost and not found.
Your pal that you share secrets with is no longer around.
Your Father no longer having a job. Nightly listening to your mother’s frightful sobs.
Your pal that you share secrets with is no longer around.
Your Father no longer having a job. Nightly listening to your mother’s frightful sobs.
Many memories that say goodbye.
That is why onions make you cry.

my metaphor poem
The Fiery Beast
By Zachary Mashaal
The fog strangled the land
With beautiful green trees defenceless
Birds wings frozen chirping in silence
Black burning ashes filling the blue glimmering river
Nature in blindness
Peeking at the top of the snowy mountain
Green grass turning grey and dull
Boulders crumbling down the hill
The hungry waits like a predator for nature’s next victim
As it leaves the forest dead.
my noun poem
Growing
Noun Poem by Zachary Mashaal
Underneath the wet and damp soil
The slimy earthworm twists and turns
Burrowing itself deeper in the earth.
The large green tree with a thick, round trunk
With beautiful, juicy ripe fruit dangling from its braches
The skins are the colours of autumn with deep crimsons,
Crisp golden and drab olives.
In the distance were crops with corn silks blowing in the wind
The smell of pungent, green chillies lingered in the air.
A curious, grey piglet snorting through the fields looking for a meal,
Rooted through the corn.
Further away, a young girl is heard singing
Strolling through the snow covered mountains
She and her big, scruffy, gold dog.
An old tattered Greek coin and a six sided die in her pocket
She and her faithful companion climbed
To the top of the rocky trails of the high mountains.
She ascended so high
The only thing between her and the sky
Were fluffy white mashed potatoes.

BRAZ's S.Studies paragragh
By: BRAZ ( Breann, Riya, Alex, Zachary) The Revolutions of 1776 and 2011
Freedom, is what all population of countries want, but the Egyptians in 2011 and the colonist of1776 wanted it most. What are the different similarities between the Declaration of Independence and the 2011 Egyptian Revolution?The Colonists of 1776 and Egyptians of 2011 had many similarities for starting their own revolution. The Colonists were fighting for their beliefs in freedom and independence. This included many things like, democracy, freedom of religion and above all, government representation. The Colonist organized themselves and spread the word of revolution in many ways; by public speeches as Patrick Henry once said, “give me liberty or give me death”, demonstrations (Boston Tea Party of 1773) and the start of a new Congress. During the revolutionary war the Colonists signed the Declaration of Independence. The Colonist’s received help from France and Spain and were victorious by October 1781 and finally, the Colonists got their freedom. Likewise the Egyptians were also fighting for freedom and they had many issues such as no freedom of expression, no free elections, no free speech and religion and just like the Colonists they wished for a new government and ruler. Additionally, the Egyptian people fought by protesting and demanding to be heard by large non-violent demonstrations. The Egyptians handed out information to gather support and help their cause. They also used the Internet to spread the word throughout the country. The Egyptians continued to protest until Mubarak eventually gave in to their demands and as a result, Mubarak stepped down and that is wen Egypt gained their freedom. Not only did the Colonists protest towards their leader,King George lll of 1776, but also the Egyptian protested towards their leader, Hosni Mubarak of 2011. The leaders are who make all the laws and decide many things. The Americans created a declaration of independence to the King of England, in 1776. That stated that freedom and justice is important. King George was taxing the Americans, but the Americans were not following the rules. They started marching for freedom. What the Egyptians in 2011 did was they got on the streets and did the old fashion street protest. The Egyptians went to Mubarak’s residence and made a very big protest. In the early 1776 the American colonies wanted Independence. However so did the Egyptians in 2011.Furthermore they both fought for Independence with support of other nations or certain big movement groups.On January 25,2011 Tuesday Egyptians were protesting or revolting against there ruler or leader also in 1776 the Americans fought for there Independence and got support from the French. Additionally the French gave the Americans guns for the war and they helped train the army to prepare for war and got more soldiers to build up the army.Furthermore the Egyptians also got support from a very big and old movement group called the “Muslim Brotherhood”. It was very popular in the Arab states for the Islamists. Furthermore what was a big advantage for the Americans and the Egyptians and that's one of the reasons why they won there Independence.
From Egyptians of 2011 protesting to their government. To the French helping the colonists of 1776 win the revolution, and all the public speeches to help gain courage for the colonists of 1776, and the Egyptians of 2011, both of these countries fought for freedom for their country.

my poem
By: Zachary Mashaal
Trouble maker
Controller taker
Mama’s boy
I am his toy.
Picks a fight
Even though it’s not right.
short tempered
But quite pampered
His defiance is constant
Isn’t he a great student!
He has a weird imagination
With a lot of action
He always lies
Because that’s his disguise
His room is a jungle
This puts us in a jumble.
He lives quite carefree
And acts quite beastly
He does not listen or come when called
When in his bed, he’s just sprawled.
That’s why Aiden is the best monster of all!
