1. I contribute to many writing activites because I am confident with what comes out of my pen onto paper when it's in my hands.



2. Just to make sure nothing was up, I checked his messages and phone calls to give myself a little insight on why he was acting so strange lately.



3. Like a stalker, she kept following him around, making it evident that she likes him. Either that or she was up to something fishy.



4. On a bad day, either mine or someone else's, I express my feelings by writing a poem that I feel relate to other people.

1. I'm potentially deaf because I listen to music both earphones plugged deep into my ears on maximum volume.


2. The proposal happened in the middle of the street; with the girl gasping with joy as the guy gave her a big hug.

3. Walking in alleys alone at night is very risky because that's where serious hazards can happen.

4. I empowered the spy to sneak into his room and placed the hidden cameras.

5. The government gave the orphans an ample amount of water and food because they were literally all skins and bones.

1. The painting was fairly beautiful, however dull, so it needed to be intensified.


2. Testing your hypothesis is a vital step in the Scientific Method.


3. Because Zeus was a God, his kids' immortality helped them live forever.

Vocab - Camp Harmony & Others ♥ :]

1. I  tersely answered the police's questions in one word before it became a suspicion that I was a sorcerer's daughter who stole a diamond ring.


2. The breach in the wall was a result of an angry gorilla, which was big enough for me to crawl through and make the escape.

3. Running breathlessly, I was riveted by the group of big men in uniforms chasing me from behind.


4. On the run, I keep vigil once every five mintues at night, instead of sleeping, on the police with tranquilizer guns... as if they shoot kids like me...


5. Once I was sure that the men had lost track of me and went back, I made quick observations around the warehouse I was currently staying the night.


6. While looking around, a black cat dashed from one cardboard box to another. "Get away!" I shrieked, emphasizing the away as if it could understand me.


7. My first reaction when I saw the letter laying under one of the boxes was that it must be from my sorcerer Daddy... and I was right.


8. Opening the letter, smoothing out the edges, it read:
"I'm not so far away from you,
But I'm not as near as above.
However I'll always be with you,
As father-daughter, we define love ♥"

"Camp Harmony" - Literary Focus Question #6 ♥

Interpret - Sone says the camp "was hopefully called camp harmony." Do you think the name is appropriate, or is it ironic? Support your answer with eveindece form the text.

I think that it's definately ironic.
The camp is similar to concentration camps, and that has no harmony whatsoever.
It has no freedom, no happiness amongst those who are watching over them.
It has wired-fences; that and guards standing guard twenty-four/seven.
Everything seems to be forced. "At ten o'clock, he rapped at the door again, yelling 'Lights out!' and Mother rushed to turn the light off not a second later."
The people there rush to do the order, for they are afraid of the consequences.
There is no privacy in the camp. "The partitino wall separating the room was only seven feet high, with an opening of four feet at the top."
The place has a lack of space and resources. "Lunch consisted of two canned sausages, one lob of boiled potato, and a slab of bread. Our family had to split up, for the hall was too browded for us to sit together."
So much for harmony when you can't even enjoy eating, or eating without getting squished for that matter. "Even as I thrust myself into the breach, the space had shrunk to two inches, but I worked myself into it."
I think the name of the camp is like that because the people running it just want to lower the worries of the people being evacuated. Not that they care, but maybe because they are locking up their own people, they need to at least show others that they are trying to be nice. But behind that name, lay the total opposite.
