The dog Wellington was killed in the murder mystery novel ''The curious incident of the dog in the night-time. As you are reading the novel the question ''Who killed Wellington''? will circle your mind a lot. There are many clues to state who might have killed Mrs.Shears poodle Wellington. But with the clues I have gathered up it states that Mr.Boone has killed Wellington.
There are really no other suspects that could have been blamed for Wellington's death expect for Mr.Boone because when Christopher goes around his neighbourhood asking about Wellington's death nobody seems suspicious expect for Mr.Boone. Mr.Boone also tells Christopher to stop investigating more about the case after he picks Christopher up from the police station, usually when you are the suspect of a crime you don't want people to ask you about the crime you committed because then you will probably end up becoming more frusterated about you did. To support this idea there is a line in the novel where Mr.Boone says ''Just try and keep your nose out of other people's business'' and also says ''It's a bloody dog, Chirstopher , a bloody dog.'' which is stating that Mr.Boone doesn't want Christopher to poke his nose into other people's business and because Christopher is so smart Mr.Boone doesn't want Christopher to figure out who killed Wellighton. Also Mr.Boone doesn't care about Wellington at all like it seems like he hated him and the line ''It's a bloody dog, Chirstopher , a bloody dog.'' supports this idea.
Other's could argue that Mr.Boone didn't kill Wellington and one main reason for that is that what could possible be the motive and reason why Mr.Boone might have killed Wellington?. Mr.Boone might have hated dogs in general and maybe Wellington was always annoying for Mr.Boone and then Mr.Boone had a motive to kill him and get rid of him forever. To make it look like he didn't kill the dog he was trying to avoid the question and he gets frusterated when Christopher starts to talk about the dog because he knows he did it and when you commit a crime you obviously don't want other people to talk to you about it.
Mr.Boone is the prime suspect because he has said many things to prove he has done it and he doesn't want anybody to find out he did it. If Mr.Boone doesn't care that Christopher goes for a walk at 3:00 am and also goes around the town doing random things then why would he care if Christoper is going around the neighbourhood and asking everyone question because Christopher actually cared about the dog and he is trying to support Mrs.Shears in this hard time. Mr.Boone doesn't really care if he dog is living or dead and because he killed the dog he doesn't want Chrisptoher to know the truth that he actually committed the crime.
Well as I have stated Mr.Boone has killed Wellington nothing could be done now, but fro a solution the police should go around the neighbourhood asking everyone if thy saw or heard anything because nobody is taking Christopher seriously as he is going around the neighbourhood asking everyone. Then when the police find out who committed the crime they should go straight to jail.

Argumentative essay
Mr.Boone killed Wellighton.
Ideas- told Christopher to stop investigating more which makes it suspicious and if mr Boone is close with mrs.shears he would know where the gardening fork is and maybe mr Boone killed the dog because he didn't like it and if Christopher's dad didn't really care if Christopher walked around at 3 am then why would he care if he investigated and cause Christopher's smart he will eventually gather up clues too figure out who it is.

Song Assignment
I chose the song ''Shake It Off'' by Taylor Swift because it's sending out a message that you can be whoever you want to be in life, you shouldn't have to care about what other people say about you because it's life and you can choose how to life it. I also like this song because whenever I'm in stress about anything I can listen to this song because it's it reminds me about how people are always going to do thier own thing but you can just shake it off and ignore it. My favourite part of the song is the chorus and the bolded verse because whenever something happens in your life you don't have to care about what people say and you can just shake it off.
"Shake It Off"
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake
Yeah ohhh
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,

Part B Romeo and Juilet final post
Love is still the same despite being centuries apart.
Love can make your life better but also can can affect your life. In Romeo and Juilet it is displaying how there both of their lives turn more special when they meet each other, but espically for Romeo because his heartbreak over Rosaline was affecting him and the people around him. Thier love was true and that's why couples now in this century try to attempt loving each other just like how Romeo and Juilets love each other in the play. For example in the play when Juilet says '' My love as deep ; the more I give to thee '' which is stating that Juilet's love for Romeo is really deep. But this love between them is also affecting them because Juilet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague and Capulets and Montague's have been in rivalry for many years. If they told there family members about thier love they would both be restricted to meet each other and one of them might even be banished. But even though Juilet and Romeo are not allowed to meet each other, Juilet still says that ''Tis but thy name is my enemy;thou art myself, though not a Montague, What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part, belonging to a man O, be some other name. This is stating how Juilet is talking to herself about, how she thinks that Romeo should not be defined by his name like all of his body parts are not Montague, only his name is acossicated with the Montague's.This situation also relates to this generation because, if two people love each other and thier from two different religons or there families are in rivarily just like in Romeo and Juilet you would have to hide it from your family members, but if the family members would find out they would get really upset and will probably even forbid them to meet each other. When you have a two-sided situation like this it is more easier to observe if you actuallly love the person because, when you know you shouldn't be meeting that person and you still and your also willing to do anything for that person you love that shows that you love them a lot.
Despite having advantages and disadvantages in love your love only grows stronger for the person you love, when you love somebody and also support them in there hard times it helps your love grow more stronger. In the play when Romeo and Juilet have to go through so much complications to meet each other it shows there love growing stronger every time they get a chance to meet each other. Couples that have followed or now follow Romeo and Juilets universal relationship probably know that thier relationship has grown stronger over the many complications they have faced. That is showing each couple that you can choose to make thier relationship more stronger or chose to not to support the other person in thier hard times and that only makes your relationship weaker. There are also many ways to express your true love, like how Juliet says to Romeo if you love me truly then marry me and if you don't and just, want to have fun with me then forget me. Juliet's thinking is still similar to this century because, any girl would want there boyfriend who actually loves her, not for her body parts but for her personality and that is the same thinking for girls in this century and from centuries before.
Many people think that Romeo and Juliet have really strong love relationship that is true for many reasons. In the play when they first meet each other they instantly fall in love and that could occur in some relationships but not many. It is hard to believe just knowing each other for a few days and then admitting that you could take your life for that same person. You don't understand that person enough when you first meet them and Romeo and Juliet were immature teenagers, but you could also say that only a few couples have true love from this century and can't be so serious for their love. Most couples at a young age just use the other person to fulfil their personal expectataions, but their are people out there in the world that actually care about you and your needs.
Well love can make your life better in many ways but also make your life bad, there will also be people that you come across in life that will take advantage of you and there will also be people who actaully care about you. But it's your choice on who you want in your life and in what position you want to put them. Like in Romeo and Juliet they show how they love each other so much just after one meeting, but it also shows how they care so much about each other and how they killed themselves that is a sign of true love. Overall love is two-sided and you choose your side and love will always grow stronger and will be the same despite being centuries apart.

Love The Paris Way
Hi I'm Paris and I'm a part of the Capulet family and in really good terms with Lord Capulet he cares about me so much that he wants me to become his son-inlaw and marry his beautiful daughter Juilet. It's very exciting to hear that I get to marry such a young and beautiful girl and soon have infants with her. I am trying to convince Lord Capulet for the marriage to happen soon because as I have said ''Younger than she are happy mothers made'' which in my terms means she's young right now and can become a young responsible wife and mother, girls about the age of 12 in our society are already having infants so the younger the better. Also it's really hard to have love with the Capulet family because they have had a rivalry with the Montagues for a really long time, as I have said ''Of honourable reckoning are you both and pity 'tis you lived at odds so long but now, my lord, what say you to my suit?''which means there two families have great honour in the society and lt's very heartbreaking to know the two families have been in rivalry so long, It would affect my business if they got back together so I have stopped trying to bring the love back together but to avoid more disturbances in our society they should quit this fighting. I would also like to address that I'm so excited to marry the beautiful and young Juilet it will bring up my respect and business in the society, so I mean if somebody tries to break our alliance then understand their physical features will not be so looking so handsome anymore, but I won't have to really worry about occurring because normal people living in our society will not even try to get close to the Capulet family, the Montagues don't even come close to the Capulets so anybody wouldn't even dare. Well I have to win Juilet's heart and then she will be mine forever. Well love for me is all business if you score a new, young and beautiful deal like I have got Juilet then what's so bad about that right ? I mean I can love her and love our future children even more well I love the Capulet family like my own. But anyways there are many benefits in marrying such a beautiful, wealthy and young girl such as she can can make babies with me as soon as we get married I mean the younger you are is the better, and I will also gain more respect from the society when we get married because everybody knows the Capulet family, also the society looks up to the Capulet family. As I have refered to before I can learn to love Juilet after we get married, not all marriages contain love before the actually alliance but I am still trying to make Juilet fall in love with me, before the marriage but if that dosen't happen then it's still alright because either way were still getting married. But I also want to love a girl that supports me in my business like a lucky charm, I feel Juilet will be a great help for business and a for little bit of love when I get home if you know want I mean. I could also say my love is like Lord Capulet's because he buys his wife whatever he wants, he could also use her for any kind of buisness he wants which is like me, no wonder we get along so well. Coming Lord Capulet well I need to go have a word with my future father-inlaw bye for now.

Mid-Term Report Card
For me English class is not only based on your grade but based on leaning new things and aspects and also teaching somebody else something that your good at. I also think english class is based on feedback because somebody that has more knowledge and is smarter than you can tell you if your doing something wrong or right because than in the future you can fix that mistake and make your assignment better and that's what I love about having blogs is that you can give and recieve feedback from both your teacher and classmates. English class has been great so far this semester, learning new aspects and things is going great. But now it comes to how I think I'm doing in English class.
Overall I think I am doing pretty good in English and If I improve on the few aspects I addressed earlier I can do great and my total is 83% and I'm pretty happy with that because I personally know I need to work harder on a few aspects and then I could get a high A.
A- Well when it comes to attendance I'm in class every single day unless I am away due to in school volunteering like I was only away two classes, one class I had to miss was because I was helping to host the grade eight retreat and one class because I was helping with the Remembrance Day assembly. On takes time in class I sometimes remain on task because I sit with my friends I get distracted and start talking to them like with me it's easier to get assigments done at home, and then because we do all of of assigments on our phones so during or after I'm done an assignment in class I'll go on my social media apps so I need to work on using class time wisely. For general self regulation of behaviour for personal and class learning for small tasks is also alright because if the topic we are discussing in class or in edmodo is interesting than I tend to pay more attention and if the topic is something I don't really understand I don't really pay attention and get distracted. I clearly need to work on a few of these aspects so I think I deserve a 15% in this category.
B- Our class got a chance to do a few different assignments. I found every assignment not to hard and not to easy. Out of the 15 assigments the teacher has assigned I have done 13 because I didn't comment one two assignments on the Edmodo. But I'm fine with that and now I know for next time I should get more involved in the class conversation and try to contribute my ideas too. I feel I should get a 21% then.
C-When your doing assigments you obviously have to try hard and have the best quality work. So far in English class I try my best on both any written and image/video work that we get assigned. I think so far in the semester I done two of my best work of writing which are the The Myers & Briggs Personality Test Result blog post, Interim 1 blog post and the Tattoo assignment. I feel I did really good on these three assignments, and now I can look back and be really proud of that work. I feel I did put my full effort in all my assignments because I believe the best work you can ever do is the work you try your best at and the work you can personally connect to. My work compared to classmates is fully meets expectations because when I'm commenting on other class mates I notice that some of them write less and it's like there not trying there best and by commenting I try to encourage all my classmates to write there best and help them improve, I also look for feedback and comments from the more stronger and smarter people. I could improve in some parts like my punctuation and how sometimes I do a few run-off sentences and to improve I could ask classmates that have stronger skills than me to proof read my work and ask classmates questions if I have any. I feel I should get a 23% in this catorgery because I only have to work on a few little aspects and I feel everything else I am doing fine right now.
I really love this blog post because I tried my best and worked hard and tried to use all the ideas around me and I got a great comment from Mr.Neufled. 😃
D- Class contribution is essential for the whole class because an idea you might have could bring out the spark in somebody else's ideas and contribution to the class. I feel I do get involved in class conversations and less in the Edmodo conversations we have so I should probably contribute my ideas more on Edmodo. Sometimes when somebody is stuck using the Edmodo I can help because in the starting my friends Sukhdeep, Jasmine, and Prabhjot didn't know how to use the website and app and I already got how to use it so whenever they have questions I help them, because I am pretty good with technology. I comment on classmates blogs when I get some free time and I try to encourage them and give them ideas on how they could get better in there assignments. Also with explaining ideas to peers for example when Prabhjot dosen't know what the idea or topic we are writing about I try to help her the best I can so she can express the awesome ideas. I think this is my best blog comment is

Because I encouraged Simran and told her what she has really good details so she knows she wouldn't have to work on that much in the future. I feel I should get a 24% because I contribute more in class and I should more in Edmodo but on the bright side I help my classmates in various things and feel good about it after.
Overall I think I am doing pretty good in English and If I improve on the few aspects I addressed earlier I can do great and my total is 83% and I'm pretty happy with that because I personally know I need to work harder on a few aspects and then I could get a high A.

Romeo And Juliet Translation
Translating the chorus was both easy and hard because I didn't understand some words but otherwise I understood most of the chorus because most of the words were modern. I made it easier to me and anyone else that is reading by highlighting the chorus in blue and my translation in orange.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
Two different families but they have the same honour and wealth.
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
In the city of Verona is where everything the both families live and where everything is occuring.
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
The grudge between the two families has lasted for a while and now and still is occuring in the present.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
This is a fight where the people included get the ordinary people living in the city involved and also the two families that had honour and respect in the city have now lost that honour and respect due to there fighting.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
The fight still contuines from the past now into the present
A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;
The two lovers who loved each other so deeply took there lives.
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
The fight finally ends.
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.
The lovers death bury the parents anger.
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,
The lovers death marked the end of the fight
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
But the rage anger and rivilary continued.
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove
The families children end the big fight going on for years that not even the police or government could end.
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;
The fight and rivilary in the main theme of the play.
The which if you with patient ears attend,
If you listen and watch the details of the play you will understand everything.
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
If you pay close attention you'll find out the true story of the play.

To A Stranger part 4
''To A Stranger'' by Walt Whitman is an interesting poem and our class has come up with some ideas on what the poem could be about such as the poet could be referring to somebody special to him and how he could have restrictions to meeting that person. Our class also found out he was also bisexual and we don't know if it's a boy or girl he's adresssing to in the peom.
From my understanding the poem is about how the poet has found somebody special that he loves and cares about and now how there strangers and never talk with each other also I think the poet must have some type of fight or argument with that special someone and that's probably why he's drifting far away from that person. The line "PASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you," in the poem could be describing on how he could be looking at the person from far away and how he awaits for that person to pass by him so he could steal a quick glance at the person if not actually meeting and communicating with the person he could just look at the person because that might make his heart happy to know the person is safe and sound. This relates to me because I have a few friends who I feel I am drifted away from and now I don't really talk to those friends because we have had some arguments and now we occasionally say hey to how are you doing?. But I don't really go in deep conversation and tell them what's happening in my life.
What makes me say I don't know if it's a boy or girl the poet is addressing I refer to this line in the poem "You grew up with me, were a boy with me, or a girl with me". I think the poet could be addressing either a boy or girl. It could be either gender but then I also think that the person could also act like a girl or boy like if it was a girl she could have done what all boys do when they hang out and maybe play video games.
Overall this poem is hard to understand because there's so many perspectives to look at and understand and then after researching and thinking about every little piece you have to connect your personal connections because that's how you could understand the poem better and then you connect all the pieces together and understand the poem. I would recommend everyone to go read the poem if you haven't already.

Should Charles Bukowski be content or want more in life ?
From my thinking perspective I think the poet should improve his lifestyle and start fresh and I also have a few reasons. First of all you need somebody in your life that can support and guide you in any path of life you take. That means healthy relationships are important and even if you have one person like that in your life that's really great because you know you have somebody to share everything with and also , because you have to admit humans are always socially engaged with everything which makes them living social creatures that need a healthy relationship to surivive.
Secondly I also think the poet should aim to start fresh by getting involved in something that makes them happy. Everyone has a place which makes them happy no mater what wether it be school, work or even a friends house. I think the poet should try getting involved into a job where he/she can express and show their amazing talents and also earn money for doing that. I mean ''money can't buy happiness'' but it does buy the essential needs and wants of a human and we all have to admit if we all didn't have money how would we all buy food, cars and houses. The poet could could find a job and then when he gets his pay cheques he could slowly build up to buy a house and for now he could live on rent in a small apartment. When he starts getting money he could buy all of his essential needs like food, clothes and shoes , a little bit of money could start something huge for the poet.
Lastly the poet also should move on in life. What I personally mean is if the poets always ''sleeping on park benches'' and in dirty motel rooms and even might be going to jail. Then the poet's view on life is really bad because the poet dosen't know and understand all the different opportunities there are in life to succeed and become a better person in life. Also having a difficult childhood has a huge impact on his thinking of the world because he thinks and acts similar to his father. When your a child what you see is what you act like for example if you see your parents arguing or shouting you might start doing the same with somebody else. Sometimes your view of life could be based on your parents actions.
In conclusion ''How Is Your Heart'' is a poem that makes you think hard on what prespective you have on life personally and if you should be happy with what you have ? Or if you should want more ? It made me think harder about myself too because now I wonder if I should want more ? Or if I should be happy with what I have in life ? I suggest everybody to read this poem if you haven't already and then ask yourself the same question.

Interim Report 1
English class has been a great course so far.In English class this year it's a little different because we are doing all of our assigned assignments on blogger I have experience with blogger because in my grade 7 class we used blogger to write about different topics and , we commented on each other's blogs so that classmates could give you positive and negative feedback about your assignments. For grade 10 English its's similar but in addition we are using another website it's called Edmodo and that's were we can find assigned homework and due dates for assignments it's a new website for me but I am liking it so far and now I know very well how to use it. We haven't learned that much yet because it's only been 3 weeks into the semester but we have done a blog posts about A Literacy Term, Extended Metaphor, The Myers & Briggs Personality Test which is a test where you have to answer a bunch of questions and then for the results you get 4 words that describe and they also have a paragraph about your personality, jobs that suit your personality and famous people that have the same personality as you I have never done or heard of the test before but I enjoyed learning more about my personality and myself.
But when it comes to that repeated question all parents ask what is my child's grade ? our teacher and now I have started to believe that if we would just go to school to get grades , and then our parents rewarded or punished us for getting good and bad grades then what are you learning at school ? That's why our teacher is letting us choose our grade so we can highlight our achievements and failures and give an accurate percentage that we both can agree on so we won't be getting a percentage or grade just yet because we feel we need some more time to complete more assignments and to define our strengths and weaknesses. But when we as a class complete more assignments and have assignments to compare what we did to others work that's when the most accurate time to self asses and get feedback from the teacher and my classmates.
But parents can also get the group code to join and look at our edmodo page and what assignments are assigned. Also it's great to have our class paperless because for one thing it saves lots of paper from being used then trashed or recycled it also teaches us new ways to use technology for educational reasons because you have to admit you would rather be on your phone then to use a paper and pen and do questions from a textbook. Using technology blogger and edmodo is so much more helpful too because you can read other peoples blogs and comment and then you can compare your post to theirs and if you see something that you like and you want to add it , you could write rewrite something similar in your blog as the teacher says ''it isn't cheating it's learning '' and even if that means learning from your classmates. Another reason why I really like blogger is you can write as short or as long of blogs you want , because there is no word count like twitter it's somewhere where you can share your assigments and different aspects and thoughts publicly and then class mates or friends can give you suggestions on what you can do to improve.
In conclusion technology isn't just to use for Facebook , Instagram, or Twitter you can also use it for learning and I like how technology is great way to interact in a positive and educational way and I'm glad our English class is using it. !

Tattoo Assignment
Tattoos have a different meaning for everyone because not every person who has a tattoo to look cool some people have it for a personal meaning and then choose to get that drawing or words in permanent ink that stays forever well it's hard to choose what to get because your going to put something on your skin that is permanent and stays there for life.
Well I'm always double minded and has mixed emotions about mostly everything I do so in the future I may or may not get a tattoo or I might just get those paper fake tattoos that stay for at least a day or two and act cool with those. Now your probably wondering would tattoo would I get I would get a tattoo on my wrist and It will be an infinity sign and in that infinity sign I would write both family and love this tattoo connects me to what I love and what is the most important things in my life.
I would get a infinity sign and write family and love in it because I believe that family is always there for you no matter in what happens well it's true that friends come and go because I have changed friends and I know what it feels like. But I'm so lucky and thankful to have such a nice, loving, caring, supporting, understanding family also family is always there for you while some friends may betray you and never love you and I'm so glad I have a great family and I will love them infinity and beyond.
I would get love in my infinity and beyond sign because for me personally love is an important aspect for everything love dosen't just mean a couples love or that you have a crush on somebody and you love them. Love for me means to love everything and anything you do because if you don't love what your doing you will not benefit and you'll just end up hating everything. Some people love money more than anything else and I dislike that idea because If you don't have a great balance of love and family you'll find yourself so lonely and atually talking to money so think twice before saying I love money over everything because money doesn't buy you true love and family it only buys you clothes, shoes, cellphones, computers, and etc and you can't talk to those things.
My tattoo will be small and it will be on my wrist but it has a big meaning. It will be on my wrist because than anybody could see just looking at my wrist how I love my family infinity and beyond and how love is over everything for me because honestly you will not get anywhere if you don't have love in your life.
My core values are represented in this tattoo because it shows how I love my family infinity and beyond and how I'm so lucky to have a great family and for love it shows how nothing in this world is stronger than the bond of love and that's one bond nobody can break. As a famous person said "Everything is fair and love and war".

Extended Metaphor Song
For my example of an extended metaphor I chose the song Firework sung by Katy Perry. I found one string extended metaphor in the song.
The extended metaphor I found is
'' Baby you're a firework come on let your colours burst ''. She's trying to say that you're a firework which in my optinion means your strong and beautiful in every way because fireworks are all beautiful colours and you can burst in to different colours which means everybody is there colourful and had there own different personalitys and natures.

My Literacy Term Dialect
I chose the word dialect I have honestly never seen or heard of this word before so it's a new word to learn for me and down below I have written the dictionary definition and a picture that helps me rememeber the word and please feel free to correct me and add other suggestions of another picture or media I could have chosen.
Dialect A variety of a language that is distinguished from other varieties of the same language by features of phonology, grammar,and vocabulary, and by its use by a group of speakers who are set off from others geographically or socially.
When I read the defenition of the word I thought of an essay in another lauguage that has grammer and all the points of a essay.
The Myers & Briggs Personality Test Results !
I did the The Myers & Briggs Personality Test for the first time and I have never heard of this test before we got to do it in english class. It's actually a really difficult test because your only given two answers to choose from and with a few questions I felt like with different situations you would have a different answer. After doing the test once I got ISFP The ''Artist'' which stands for Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving , the population for this category is 6% with 7% female.
Also in the test results it says I'm more sensing over intuition and I think that is somewhat true because sometimes I sense things before I make big decisions but I also ask people what they would do in that situation. Other than using my senses I also listen to both my mind and heart because I think when you listen to what your mind and heart feels it's what you should actually do in that situation because if you have a bad feeling about a situation it means that you shouldn't be doing what your planning doing.
In the test results it says I am feeling over thinking. I think that is really true because before I think about my feelings in a situation I think about others peoples feelings because I am not a person who only thinks about the decision making that would hurt other people because I would rather make a decesion in which I wouldn't hurt anybody's feelings but still I would get my work done. I personally think feeling over thinking is a better quality to have because it's a really bad thing to to hurt other people's feelings the saying treat others the way you would want to be treated and that is one of my favourite motto's to live by.
I got perceiving over judging and I think that is pretty true because I don't overact if if plans with family and friends change unless it's a plan I have planning for the longest time then I kind of get upset because when you've been so hard for an event to work and it dosent work you would feel upset but otherwise for example if I am going out with a friend and we plan to go change plans and go to different places for the day I would honestly be fine with it. When it comes to schedules and planning I don't really plan that much unless it's writing down a date for a test and planning what time I would study and then do my homework. Otherwise I don't plan that much I just write down important information and dates on ca calender and even if I remember something I would write and plan that out too but otherwise I don't plans and scdule other things. For example so many people plan what there going to do each day buy I am a person that likes to go the flow.
In my catagorey for Famous ISFP's I got a lot of singers, actors, dancers, artist, sculptor I really enjoy dancing and singing so that was accurate for me. For the Career matches I got the ones in the picture below.
In the test results it's stating I am introverted over extraverted and I think that's true because I am a little shy when it comes to meeting new people because I can only trust and tell people things I have known for a while because with past experience I have figured out what people are my true friends and the people who I can trust. If you you know me very well you would think I'm so laid back, funny, laughing and always making jokes but I like keeping things to myself more because I think that nobody really cares for anybody turely in this world anymore people just show that they care about you to show-off and if you tell somebody something and you think there so close with you but in reality there just using you and then they start telling other people the same thing and then people start using things against you and creating alo t of rumors about you like it's too much drama.
Also in the test results it says I'm more sensing over intuition and I think that is somewhat true because sometimes I sense things before I make big decisions but I also ask people what they would do in that situation. Other than using my senses I also listen to both my mind and heart because I think when you listen to what your mind and heart feels it's what you should actually do in that situation because if you have a bad feeling about a situation it means that you shouldn't be doing what your planning doing.

In conclusion I really liked learning so much about my self and learning
how people can so many different things at once. I agreed with most of it because I actually am shy and I like to keep things to
myself and I think about other feelings when I make i decesion so I think this test taught me more things about myself and how a person can have so many different traits. Nothing was really off because I enjoy art like dance and singing. I have learned that I have to join a job that is good for me and my different traits and this test didn't really make me think something different about myself.
