Daniel is also a blond because he has blond hair. Daniel is also very creative because he is always coloring or making something with paper. Daniel is also very fun because of all the things we played when I went to his house.

Sam Queen is funny because of all the weird things he says. He also has blond hair like everyone else. Sam is athletic because he plays baseball and basketball. Sam is also fun because of all the stuff we do at his house like play Wii. Sam is also very reasonable because me and Zach are discussing who has better hair Tom Brady or Troy Polamalu and Sam agrees with me that Tom Brady does.

Tom Brady is a stylish person with his great new hair do. He is also very athletic because he is a pro football player and to be a football player you have to be able to be very very athletic. Tom Brady is also the quarter back for the New England Patriots. Tom Brady is also fast just like ever body else that plays football.

Good Hair

In the NFL a lot of players have good hair but there are a few players who have great hair. Like for example Tom Brady ( Quarterback for the Patriots)has an older Justin Beiber like hair where it is long and stylish. Also Troy Polamalu (safety for the Steelers) has curly long black hair that makes him look like he is a monster. Also he was in a commercial for a shampoo that makes his hair thicker. He must really have good hair. Not all Football players have good hair for example Tim Lincecum (starting pitcher for the Giants)has great hair it is long and it knows where to go. But we know for sure that Rickie Weeks (second basemen for the Brewers) has the best hair of all time. He has short dreads in a pony tail and when I saw him at a baseball game he scared me because of his crazy good hair.

Literary Analysis

What would it be like to have a nanny that has magical abilities? Well in the movie that I watched “Mary Poppins” by P.L. Travers Mary Poppins is able to snap her fingers and she’ll be in a cartoon drawing drew on the street by a chimney sweep. To me Mary Poppins the movie is a romantic mode of literature.

Mary Poppins is a romantic mode of literature to me and I can defend it. Some of the characteristics of a romantic mode of literature is the main character is in control and throughout the movie the main character Mary Poppins was able to control everything from hopping into pictures to winning a horse race with a merry go round horse. Also another characteristic is that the story is a Fantasy vision and for the kids it is. The met a man who when he laughed he rose in the air and they also got served by a team of penguins.

In the first paragraph I talked about the characteristics of Mary Poppins. In this paragraph I’ll tell you about how the story fit the plot line. In the romantic plot line it starts out with a minor conflict like when the kids cannot find a nanny. Then the next thing on the plot line would be life symbolism. In Mary Poppins that would be when the children find and hire Mary Poppins to be there nanny. Eventually the kids like Mary and their father sees that and he agrees on hiring Mary as the full time nanny.

Although the plot line is a major part of the analysis of the story there is another big part. Symbolism is that other big part, symbolism is understanding what you read and grouping it together. For example spring is symbolism for romance and in Mary Poppins it was around spring time. Also symbolism for a house in the romance mode of literature is luxurious and overly and the house that the banks lived in was very luxurious and very big so that would fit the symbolism.
Although I found different things in Mary Poppins than someone else could have. I still think that Mary Poppins is a romantic mode of literature. People might think it was a comedy because of the funniness but it is a romance. That is what I found out about the movie “Mary Poppins”.

Tim Lincecum

Tim Lincecum is Zach's and my favorite pitcher in baseball. He has crazy long hair and it curls around in the back of his head. Tim plays for the San Francisco Giants. Tim is number 55 and he also is very short he is only about 5'11''. Tim lifetime ERA is 3.04 which is really good. Also Tim has struck out 907 people in his 4 seasons in baseball. Also Tim is an owner of the NL Cy Young awards he won them in 2008 and 2009.Tim was drafted in the 1st round of the 2006 draft. Tim is a very good pitcher for the Giants and this year he lead the Giants to winning the World Series. Also there is a kid in our school who Zach thinks looks a lot like Tim Lincecum.
