Marry Poppins
Marry Poppins Literary analysis
What would you do if you saw people drinking tea on the ceiling, or riding on a unicorn? This is what happened in "Mary Poppins" by P.L Travels. The world is a magical place and everyone is happy. It clearly shows by the characteristics, symbolism and plotline that of romance.
The Plotline falls into the romance section. The first nanny got sick of caring for the children and quits! Her magical replacement is practically perfect, Mary Poppins, who takes the children to a new fantasy world. She teaches them importence of caring for others. Marry poppins meats a chimney sweep, named Burt and falls in love. Jane and Michaels dad is a grumpy man. Marry poppins turns Mr. Banks around, and everything seems better than it really is.
The characteristics of marry poppins clearly falls into the category of romance. There is always music and dancing, and everyone is always happy. Marry poppins never does anything wrong, but is practically Perfect! She can even clean up a room whenever she wants, not even moving a muscle. There is no form of evil in this story. The two kids, Jane and Michael feel like they can accomplish anything with Marry Poppins around. The world of marry poppins is a magical place. It clearly shows by the characteristics that this movie is a romance.
There is also Romance symbolism. The story takes place in spring time, and there are always birds outside, singing to themselves. This story is usually in the morning or daytime. There are bright colors and there is a lot of flowers and nature. There is one scene with a lot of animals and colors! This story is like a fantasy version of real life.
This world is a magical place. It clearly shows by the characteristics, symbolism and plotline that this storie is a romance. It would be fun to have a nanny like Marry Poppins. Everything would become so much easier and more fun.

Christmas
It is not going to be a very fun Christmas for me this year. Normally my family and I go up north to visit my cousins, aunts, and uncles for a couple of days. This year we are only going up north for one day! But the good thing is that the day night we leave my church has the annual Christmas program. It is were kids that are in kindergarten through 8th grade have to sing songs in front of our church and memorize lines. I am so happy I don’t have to do it this year! We are going to a Christmas service up north with my Aunt and Uncle.
There is only one type of food I like that our family eats around Christmas and Thanksgiving time. That one thing is called Lefsa. Lefsa is a Norwegian desert. You take a soft potato shell, spread butter over the top of it, and then sprinkle sugar on the butter and roll it up. It is really good! Everyone should try Lefsa sometime in their life.
My mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said I wanted money to save up for a new phone. My mom told me I was no fun and made me make a list the night before Black Friday. I put Money, Abercrombie jeans, shoes, a cheese head, and a Green Bay Packer Sweatshirt with Bears vs. Packers ticket in the pocket on my list.
Although Christmas wont be as fun this year I will still have lots of fun on the day I spend up north playing the game spoons and Sequence with my family, eating Lefsa, and hopefully wearing a new Green Bay packer sweatshirt!

The Vineyard In California
The Vineyard in California
It was a windy day when the man crossed the road and went into the bus station.
He was wearing a camouflage jacket and was on his way to work. “Why do I have
to work here?” The man said looking down at his old dog. The dogs name was
Kaiser and he was not a very good listener. He was too busy looking at the cute
German Wire Hair in the car that passed by. “Don’t worry Kaiser, we will get a
bigger place somehow…maybe I will find a rich woman some day and buy a nice
place in the middle of California. Maybe on a vineyard, a vineyard would be nice.
You could have lots of space to run and…” “Get over here Greg!” Roared his boss.
“We got work to do!” “I’ll be right there!” He ran into the building right next
to the substation. He worked on the trains every day. Greg did
to work here?” The man said looking down at his old dog. The dogs name was

“We got work to do!” “I’ll be right there!” He ran into the building right next
to the substation. He worked on the trains every day. Greg did
not get much money for it, about $25,000 a year. He ran upstairs and put Kaiser
into his office and started on his work for the day.
into his office and started on his work for the day.
When the clock hit 9 pm. Greg grabbed Kaisers leash and
sprinted out of his office. Once he crossed the road he went into his two-person
apartment, got some cheese balls and went to his couch and watched some HGTV.
Kaiser was snoring and sleeping on his back. He was dreaming about that other
German wired haired pointer he had seen earlier that day.
The next morning Greg went to work and found his boss waiting for him in his
office. This can’t be good…he thought to himself. “ Good morning Greg “ his boss
said “You have been lacking this whole year, and guess what Greg? Your fired!” Gregs boss yelled and walked out of his office, and then turned back, “You have one week to get all your junk out of this office!” He yelped.

Two months later
“Come on Kaiser…say goodbye to our old home. I lost my job, and I need to move in with my family in California.” Now the clock hit 1 o’clock and Greg was sitting on a plane worried about Kaiser, he was trapped underneath all the passengers, trapped in a cage, not knowing were the plane would take him. “ It’s a fresh start, I can start all over and even be closer to my family. “ Greg said to himself, waiting for the plane to take off. I will work at my parents vineyard, and hopefully get enough money for my own place in California. But I have to promis my self to always be a packer fan.

That’s just what greg did. He started a new life in California and worked with making wine. After three years, Greg got enough money to move out and buy his own place for himself and Kaiser. He was living his Dream. He knew Kaiser was too!

Kaiser(Stream of Consienceness)
I love my old puppy. His name is kaiser. Hes a German Wire haired pointer.The word "Kaiser" means German ruler in German. My dog is ten years old and his fur is whiter than Brett Farves hair. Kaiser sleeps in his back during the night, it is the cutest thing!Sometimes, when he isn't laying on his back, he is curled up in a little ball. Also he snores like a pig!
Another name for my dog is ether Mo-Mo,Taco, or Kaiser Roll. We sometimes call him taco because kaiser has a little tan dog bed that he lays in during the weekends. When it was half time of a NFL football game, my dad wrapped him up inside the bed. It looked like the bed was a taco shell and he was the meat inside. We call him Mo-Mo whenever he looks really fat!We also call him Kaiser Roll because there is a kind of hard roll at the grocery store you can buy with his same name!
I love my dog so much!

Halloween Dance
Tonight is the Halloween Dance. I am pretty exited. We have basketball practice till 6 o'clock, and then me and Madi are getting ready and going to the the dance at 7. I am going to be a bunny. I am going with Friends and it should be really fun…well I hope it will be. Last year there was a Dance that the 6th graders got to go to. It was really fun. I hope I remember to turn my permission form in! Today and this weekend should be really fun!
Subjects
I very dislike Spanish class. Why do we have to learn it? We do not have to learn Spanish, but if you don't want to work at McDonalds for the rest of your life you will probably have to take Spanish for about 3 years. If you want to come to the United States for more than a year, I think you should have to learn English and use it outside of your home. That is just my opinion. I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me.
I also am not a fan of Math, but it is a very, very important subject.I am not good at adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing integers.
Although I do not like a lot of classes, the one subject I love, is Gym. I love every part if gym besides health class.

Does Patriotism still matter?
Have you ever gone to a fourth of July parade or watched the Red, White, and Blue fireworks blast off during Independence Day? Do you just watch fireworks because it is a fun activity to do with your friends and family, or do you go there because you know that those fireworks are representing your Country? If you go for the love of you country you have Patriotism. Some people do not have Patriotism and think it doesn't matter anymore. Patriotism still matters because without being proud of your nation and everything your ancestors fought for you’re giving it away.
Patriotism still matters because there are people fighting for your country right now. They are risking their own lives for their country. If you do not have patriotism you are in some ways selfish. You live in a free country and you need to take advantage of that. If you don’t have any love and respect for your country you probably don’t have any love and respect for your ancestors’ ether.
My grandpa was in world war two. He fought against the Japanese. He was a sheet medal person who worked on the planes when they got busted up. He also worked in the officers’ tent tending to administrative items. He flew on four missions as a right gunner in a B29 super fortress. People say he "Flew the hump" in one mission which was in the Himalayas. One of your ancestors has probably been in one war once in their lifetime. If you go back I you would probably find someone in a war. If you do not have patriotism you do not have respect for the people fighting for you right now, and you probably do not have respect for your ancestors.
If a country does not have any patriotism the country would fall apart. Patriotism is like having confidence. If you do not have any you will not accomplish any goals. Patriotism still matters because without being proud of your nation and everything your ancestors fought for you you‘re giving it away culturally.
