Misunder stood Pitbulls

Background

Many people think that Pit Bulls are angry dogs because of what they have seen or heard of. There are many dogs that are angry  not just  Pit Bulls! Pit Bulls are actually one of the best types of dogs you can have as a pet. According to the article The misunderstood Pit Bull, Pit Bull always test high scores  one of the most stable dogs. This means that they are really good dogs there are just that handful of Pit Bulls that are dangers and set the wrong impression for some people.
This is a picture of a Pit Bull. I think that this Pit Bull is super
cute in this picture.

My Opioion

I love Pit Bulls and every other dog there is in the world. They are so MISUNDERSTOOD and I don't like that. They are so  people friendly and sweet and are just so loving. I think that a lot of people don't like them because they are afraid of them and they shouldn't be. They are just like other dogs and are don't like that they mainly pick on Pit Bulls. This is what I think about Pit Bulls.

Poem by Robert Frost:                      

A Prayer in Spring                              
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.                                                                                             
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,                                    
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil. 

Aboput the poem-

Message- Love thwe outdoors.
Why i choose this poem- I choose this poem beacuse i really liked the titel it stuck out. The reason it stuck out to me is beacuse right now it is spring and i love this season. , and the titile of this poem is a player in spring. 
Do i realate to  this poem- Yes,becaus it talks about the out doors and i lobve the out doors.
Happy or Sad- I think that this npoem is very very gappy,

] Alliteration-Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns around August.
Personification-The stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky.
This is unique in its syllable count of each line. The first and last lines have two syllables. The second line has four, the third has six, and the fourth has eight. So it is 2-4-6-8-2.  this is Quentin.
Style-A,A,BB ect.
Rhyme Scheme-
My penmanship is pretty bad.
My printing’s plainly awful.
In truth, my writing looks so sad
it ought to be unlawful.
Repetion-I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there’s a pair of us-don’t tell!
They’d banish us you know.

These things make the poem much more better. It makes it more interesting and way more happy and up the beat.
