Oxymorons 3

 

For the month of May Mrs. Haseltine’s sixth grade students are taking over Amy Ludwig VanDerwater’s blog Sharing our notebooks. We are two of her students hoping to share our writing to all of the readers of her blog. We present to you, a list of notebook oxymorons.

  • A useless entry
  • A boring page
  • A dull cover
  • A generalization without a counterargument
  • A long haiku
  • A confined page space
  • A page that uses no description
  • Lines that don’t limit you
  • A boring story
  • A plot without a twist
  • A fantasy without magic
  • A mystery without a detective
  • A list that is truly complete
  • A notebook with enough pages
  • A pen that has no ink

And Finally…

  • A notebook without love

Make sure to take these oxymorons and do the exact opposite of what they say!   

Do any of you have suggestions on more oxymorons? Please comment.

The Reverse Poem

I am useless

And I refuse to believe that

You can be anything

I know that this may be a shock but

you have the ability to help others

Is a lie

Santa is fake

In 30 years I will tell my children that

I have my priorities straight because

Work

Is more important than

Family

I tell you this:

Once upon a time

Everything will be alright

But this will not be true in my era

Nobody will be happy

Experts tell me

Humanity shall not be satisfied

I do not conclude that

We will prosper

In the future

We all will suffer

It can no longer be said that

Everyone will make it past death

It will be evident that

We lack in power

It is foolish to presume that                                                                                          

We will enjoy life

All of this will come true unless we reverse it.

I am useless

We had an attendance question

We had an attendance question

It was about school

I borrowed the answers and made a poem

School is..

Too much

A war zone

A waste of seven hours

A thunderstorm in your head

Also…

Escape from chaos

Cool

Interesting very interesting

Just as well…

The devil meeting his wife

Depression with a mix of rainbows

Draining

School is a lot of things

What is important is what it means to you.

Wait a minute…

I just realized. I finished the challenge. Sure I missed 2 days at the beginning and 2 days because of stupid air france. I still am mad at them. Though now I only have to blog every Tuesday and create really cool posts that can be more entertaining than the posts I make now. I am free from the shackles of the slice of life challenge. Though it was kind of fun, so the metaphor is more like the ability to leave and return to the shackles whenever I want. This makes me very happy. I have now the eternal power of blogging whenever I went to! I love blogging.

Limoncello(not lemoncello)

The limoncello recipe

I am going to share what my mom says is the best drink in the universe the limoncello. Disclaimer If you are a kid you shouldn’t really be reading this as it is a recipe for an alcoholic drink. So anyway here you go. The ingredients are…

  • 10 Fresh lemons
  • (This ingredient is impossible to obtain in america)1 liter of 95% brandy/wine
  • 2 liter of water
  • 1 kg of sugar

Step 1: Peel off the zest of the lemon. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THE PART OF THE LEMON THAT IS WHITE. THAT IS WHAT WILL MAKE THE LEMONCELLO BITTER.

Step 2: Pour in the alcohol with the zest and stir

Step 3: Let the mixture rest for about two weeks

Step 4: Mix the sugar and water and boil it. Let it boil right before it caramelizes but don’t let it caramelize.

Step 5: Pour the two together and let it settle.

Wait for about 4-6 weeks and you have your limoncello ready for drinking.

Seafood and cheese

As I said in an earlier post I went to the amalfi coast and I had the seafood of the heavens in the amalfi coast. Since amalfi coast was made from Mount Vesuvius, the same one that destroyed Pompeii, wore down the sides and created volcanic sand it is amazing to see it right by the sea. I went to a restaurant near the coast it was amazing. I had seen some of the most amazing food ever. I started off with the amazing Bufalo d’acqua mozzarella. This is also known as the water buffalo mozzarella. So I learned something in that restaurant. Apparently there are two kinds of mozzarella cheese first there is the one we are all used to flour mozzarella. That one is made from the milk of a cow, it lasts for weeks and weeks. That is why most people use it in America. The second type is what I tried the water buffalo mozzarella. This uses water buffalo milk and it tastes amazing. It has the milk inside it so that makes it liquidy and it makes it not able to last long so that is why you don’t see it in the USA.I then had heavenly lobster with a side of shrimp. I was also hungry so I tasted the fried zucchini with spaghetti. I swear it tastes better than it sounds. It is actually more like fried spaghetti with zucchini sauce but whatever. I am not a zucchini fan so I was reluctant to buy this though I am so glad I did because the zucchini tasted amazing with the spaghetti. There are just no words to describe the godliness. I think I am going to end it here because this post is getting too long and I want to show you an amazing wine for adults according to my mom (kids please don’t drink…). So I will share it next so now enjoy your spring break.

I hate air france and other stuff

I hate air france right now. So you see when I went and had a wonderful trip in europe. I loved everywhere especially when the eiffel tower started lighting up. Not exploding I wouldn’t do that (hehe). Jokes aside I enjoyed it. Though Just as I was ready to go home. Air france goes on strike on the worst days possible. Plus as you can see from my previous posts I was not able to blog those days so here I am blogging on wednesday when I was supposed to blog on monday. I need to tell you on what I tasted in the Amalfi Coast. I ate some of the best seafood in the world. Actually this can be a seperate video. Never mind. I actually took a challenge from someone to just write on the sot and only erase for typos. No changing sentences so this is the result. Thank you for listening to my complaints on an airline and some other random junk. Goodbye my peoples.
