Authors Note: This is a piece that shows the author’s purpose of the two poems. It also reviews the mood and tone of the poem. Also it will explain the mood and town of the music compares and contracts.
To start my journey, both of these poems Big Yellow Taxi and Field Below are trying to teach us that we don’t know what we got till it’s gone. The mood in both of the song is sad and the mood in both of the poem is sympathetic. Both of the authors are talking about big cities. They are different because one is talking about they are cutting down trees and there putting up a parking lot. And the other one is talking about that she can’t see the field below.

Donald to Claudia
Author’s note: This poem is a parody from “Mother to Son”, by Langston Hughes, about explains the same tone.
Now Claudia, you must learn this,
Always be the best because,
Life for me hasn’t been fame and glory,
I’ve took so much pain,
Since of my horrible school days,
I’ve lost and pout,
And been a giant loser,
Sometimes I even thought I was nobody,
But I didn’t give up,
I kept trying and trying and eventually,
I became somebody,
So if you feel like nobody,
The poem relates to the novel because it shows the audience to always do your best. The speaker is Donald and the audience is Claudia. The tone in the poem is perseverance and the mood is sad.
Never give up,
Because there’s always hope.

Changed
Authors Note: This is a piece that show text analyses in the book Touching Spirit Bear.
Pg 182
Cole” How Is Peter”
Gravey” Not Well”
Cole “I Wish I Could Help Him Some How”
What would you do if you got a second chance to turn your life around? This is what happens in the book Touching Sprit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. The main character Cole Matthews was a bully to other kids like to Peter. Cole beat peter up that Peter ended up with speech problems. Cole got into a lot of trouble for what he had done he had to pick if he wanted to live on an Alaskan island for one year or go to jail for one year. Cole picked to live on the Alaskan island for one year because he thought it would be easy to live all by himself on a island than to go to jail. Cole was wrong he got mulled by a white spirit bear breaking majority of his bones and ended up in the hospital. Garvey wanted Cole to change in his life. The court was deciding if Cole should get a second chance or to go to jail for one year. The court decide that he should get a second chance but he would have to sell all of his stuff to pay for his shelter and for all the supplies he will need for one year for him to live on the island. The climax in the story is when Cole get the second chance because you can’t go back once you changed. If anyone got a second chance they would take it for granted and not ruin their chance.
This book taught Cole a big lessens. The climax in the story Touching Spirit Bear is when Cole gets his second chance on the island because you could turn back. When he rolled the rock down the hill taught him a big lesson he thought that was dub walk all the way up the hill and then roll a rock down a hill. But later on it showed him that he needs to roll away his anger. And the sticks, try to break the left side off the stick that impossible you always will have a left side. When he saw a animal and do the dance of the animal at the campfire. Also when Cole when in to the cold pond that made him change. When Cole said to Garvey” How Is Peter” you can see that the character changed in the story. He cares for Peter you can see on what he said. And when Garvey said” Not Well” That mad Cole think. Then Cole said” I Wish I Could Help Him Some How”.
To close my case, people in the world could all get second chances they would all take it for granted. The main character Cole changed a lot throughout the story. From when Cole had to break the left side of the stick off and he couldn’t and when Cole had to roll his anger down the hill. Cole. All of these lessons thought Cole different things. You can tell the main character changed because he asked “How Is Peter” He was thinking about the person that he hurt. And Garvey said” Not Well” and Cole said“I Wish I Could Help Him Some How”. And you could see that he is caring for the person that he hurt.

Loser
Authors Note: This is a word choice and content piece talking about the main character in the book Loser by Jerry Spinally.
Donald Zinkoff always wants to go to “bring your son to work day.” He had to make a million letters, but that didn’t stop him. His little mail bag stuffed with all letter like a stuffed garbage can. My friends make fun of my big birth mark under my ear lobe and my brown hair. Kids always love when I laugh because it takes the time away from class. When all the kids made fun of me I was so scared I was scared to death. My life is a hopeless little plant that can’t protect it.
My friends see me show my little brother right from wrong. My life is lonely with all bullies at school. My neighbor that lives right across the street is shay and scared just the same as I. People say I’m clumsy and that my hand writing is atrocious. People see me try to make friends but they just won’t accept me. I love to go to school but I don’t know if I’m going to like all the bullies.
