Forgiveness
Forgiveness
A way we shed our sins of hate
Because we are fearless
In ways that are great
Although you may have struck me
For those actions won't be forgotten
I decided not to flee
Because my hearts not rotten
I understand
Your country's views
From a land
That abuse
During a dark time
Light was not shown
It was filled with grime
I was not alone
You held your whip
Showed no mercy
Let me trip
I chose forgiveness
To relieve your duties
We yet to have unfinished Business
This is not a movie
This path was chosen
So that we are allowed to heal
Our past is not frozen
We no longer have to conceal
God has given us the chance
To relieve our pain
Let's take a dance
And let this drain__
But the memories won’t erase
Now they begin to fade
We are now in a better place
Our battle is outweighed
God help us all
Forgive our daring sins
We don’t want to apoll
There was no controversy
On the other hand
I set mine down
For my stand
I turned around
In language arts this year we did many interesting projects. Although, I feel as if the one project that presented my best work was the Unbroken project. This project consisted of designing or making a project of your choice on the novel Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. For this assignment I decided to write a poem about forgiveness. This topic was finally chosen when I learned that Louie Zamperini (the main character) goes to Japan to forgive his captors from World War II.
expository writing
During my eighth grade year, we wrote lots of essays about different novels we read throughout the year. My favorite essay that I wrote was the To Kill A Mocking Bird. This was my favorite because I believe that it was the best essay that I have written! I also recently revised this essay once more. During this final revision, I corrected run-on sentences and punctuation. My strongest paragraph was the introduction, due to it taking the most time and thinking. My body paragraphs include at least one cited quote from the novel; to support my thesis and main points.
