BALLAD POEM

Unoin is anti slavery

Confederacy is slavery

They both have blacks

Union is blue

Confederacy is gray

The war was red

People screaming is what I heard

What occured

Is that soldiers were burned

Antietam was the bloodiest battle

Lots of lives were lost

The union won

At appomattox they surrendered

Lee lost to grant

Than all blacks were free

Narrative Poem

The first time I played soccer

It was 2006

I had 0 friends in the team

My uniform was black w/a red stripe

I had PUMA cleats

They were white

With a black line

They were very good luck

My coach's name is Mario

Over time I gained more friends

I had 2 best friends: Emanuel, and Jose

Every day I got better at soccer

In the league we were the best team

But we were always beat by the wors team

In the finals we played against girls

We lost

My player position was forward

Sometimes middle

Emanuel was defense

Jose was middle

My league's name was KIS

Kids In Sports

I was there 3 seasons

The uniforms were cool

This was my first team

Our first name was Chivas

We switched every Season

We were the best when we were Barcelona

This team lasted 2 years

2006-2008

We were Brazil when we all broke up

It happened because of a loss; 13-1

I didnt even play the last game

In the middle is 1942 in Holland. All of them are in the attic. While Anne lived in the attic she had nightmares that the Nazis will capture her.They were there because they were hiding from the Nazis which were controlling Europe and wanted to exterminate all Jews. The Van Daans, Franks and Dussel were all Jews. Dussel was moving in with the rest of them when Mr.Kraler brought him because he had nowhere to stay. Dussel had move in with Anne in her room because they didn't want him to stay with Margot who was Anne's older sister. Mr. and Mrs.Frank were afraid Dussel would harass Margot since she was older. Everybody who lived in the attic were mad because their food was scarce and they had one more mouth to feed. Everybody spent Hanukkah in the attic.

Later on Mr.Kraler gets blackmailed by the owner of the store in which they are hiding. The person who blackmailed him was Karl. The threat to Mr.Kraler was that if he didn't give Karl 20 guilders every week he would snitch on them. Then Mr.Kraler found out that the blackmail wasn't real and Karl knew nothing.
