Let Me Write a Poem About You

-

Hello there! Back again with me in parallel- blog! Just like the title for today's blog, this post will be about poems. I will write an acrostic poem from one character each from one story I have read. There will be two stories, on for reading text and one for listening text. Ready... let's go!

The first story is reading text and the title is The Children of the New Forest by Captain Marryat with 6403 words. This is an adventure story about four children of Colonel Beverley—he is died while fighting for the King. They should leave their house to run away from the Cromwell’s soldiers who want to kill those on the King’s side like their father and live with Jacob, their father’s old friend. You can read this story here.

My favourite character from this story is Jacob Armitage. Why? Well… I think he is really brave and kind. He dares to take risk to save his old friend's children, and it is not just one or two but four! He even taught them to cook, clean the house, take care of the farm and hunt.

Now is the time for poem, and I will make it from Jacob's last name, Armitage.

Altruistic
Reliable
Modest
Intrepid
Thoughtful
Angelic
Gentle
Experience

Just like his personality and attitude, he is not selfish, can be trusted, brave but not in a hurry (careful). He is a good man, I think. Ok, move on to the second story.

The second story is listening text and the title is The Golden Stone Saga I by Jenny Dooley with 7894 words. The story is about William Goldstone, a child who always spends his free time playing video games and watching videos. His parents sent him to his grandfather for a week, hoped that William would stop spending so much time with the TV and get interested in something new.

From this story I pick Will Goldstone, the main character from the story Howard read to his grandson, William. Will is a brave and a strong orphan boy. His parents were killed by King Ddraig when he was child, as well as the girl he loved, Delena. He wants to revenge for that, but Kylan the wizard who helped and taught him tell to wait the right time or he will lose. I will use Will's last name to make the poem, here it is.

Gifted
Obedient
Lusty
Determined
Smart
Tough
Optimistic
Nimble
Easy-going

I choose that words because it is match with his personality and his characters description, brave, strong and smart.

How is the poem? I think it is not too good, because for me it is quite difficult to find the right words, besides that, making poem is fun and increase my vocabulary. Okay... well I think that’s all for today, hope you enjoy reading my blog! See you on my next post! Bye~

source: google Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog! Because this is my first post, so let me introduce myself. My name is Cornelia Betty Septiningrum, I’m a college student from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. In this post, I will tell you about my English learning journey. Okay, let’s start! When I was little, I’m not that interested to learning English, especially when in elementary school. Because I can’t understand what my English teacher said. But, after watched movies in English like Harry Potter, Narnia or Disney movies, I interested to learning English. In junior high school, with new English teacher and her different way to teaching, I become easier to understand the material being taught, I can improve my English skills too. However, I still have some difficulties when learning English, especially speaking. Because when I should speak in English, sometimes I'm confused how to answer even though I understand what they are talking about or what they ask. Sometimes I a...
