Love+that+dog+By+Matt

1. I think Jack doesn't want to wright poetry because he thinks that poetry is only for girls.

2. Maybe jack has a blue car that he likes a lot.

3. I think Mrs. Stretchberry was so interested in Jack's poem because i think she thought the poem was written by his heart.

Writing Poetry

Donuts

So much, depends upon, Donuts, Covered with glaze, spinkles,and chocolate

4. Jack doesn't like the idea of writing a poem about a pet because he used to have a pet and he doesn't have one anymore.

5. Jack borrows ideas from other poets because he thinks it'll help him write better poetry. Borrowing poets ideas did help Jack and two examples of some things he borrowed were:

6. Jack wants is early poems to be anonymous because he doesn't know if his poetry is good poetry or not.

7. Jack says that Mr. Robert Frost has way to much time on his hands because he writes so much good poetry and three examples of what Jack uses from Mr. Robert Frost are typing them up,putting in on paper,and leaving his name off the paper.

8. The author's purpose is to entertain the reader with a good poetry book. The author's audience is a bunch of children probably,and the story of Love That Dog is told from Jack's point of view (First Person). I think the author chose this point o view because it would be easier for children to hear a story from first person than third person.

9. Jack describes his street on the edge of the city with quite music most of the time. Whisp,meow,and wish.

10. My street poem:

8308 Katies Court

Big and windy with nice people. Lots and lots and lots of kids. Very cheery street. Lots of play time over and over again. Splish, splash playing in the rain, Boom, boom then the thunder ends the fun. Then the fun begins again, And the whole cycle starts all over again.

11. Jack's feeling's have changed about writing poetry because he thinks his poems are not just a bunch of words put together he thinks that they are some what good now but he still doesn't want anyone to know that he wrote them. I know that he is starting to like poetry more because it says that my brain was pop-pop popping when i was looking at those poems. I never knew a poet person could do that funny kind of thing.

12. On a seperate sheet of paper.

13. Jack liked the poem by Walter Dean Myers because he said # 1 His dad calls him in the morning just like the person in the poem did and # 2 when Jack had his yellow dog he loved that dog and he would call him like this-he'd say hey there Sky.

14. Love that Basketball

By: Matt Millikin

Love that Basketball

Like a fish likes to swim

I said I love Basketball

Like a fish likes to swim

Love to play Basketball and have parties.

15. Jack quotes things from other poems earlier from the book like the first poem he wrote about the muddy blue car that hit the dog sky. Another quote is from Mr.1 Walter Dean Myers and its hey there bot! and hey there son!
