Autobiographical Poem
“I AM” poem
I AM
I am energetic and funny
I wonder why the leaves change colors
I hear whispers in the night
I see a cloud shaped like a banana
I want a lot of money
I am energetic and funny
I pretend to be a pro baseball player
I feel happy when it’s sunny
I touch my soft pillow
I worry when I fail a test
I cry when someone I love gets hurt
I am energetic and funny
I understand there are homeless people
I say Packers Rule!
I dream of winning a lot of money
I try to be the best hockey player ever
I hope to get an A in Science
I am energetic and funny

The BFG
by Roald Dahl
Summary
The BFG is a book about a big
friendly giant who makes friends
with a girl named Sophie. The
BFG had swept Sophie away during
The night and had taken her to the
land of the giants. Here she learned
of his very unusual ways and about
the other unfriendly giants who run
off into the night to “swollop little
chiddlers”. When Sophie heard
that they were flushbunking off to
England to guzzle more children she
decided she must put a stop to them
once and for all. And with the help
of the BFG.
The BFG is mixing captured
dreams to create just the right
dream for the queen.

Doctor
I want to be a doctor when I grow up. I want to
help people get better. They have to be smart to
make a lot of money. They get to use a lot of neat
stuff like a stethoscope and big machines that check
your body. I don’t really want to give shots.
