Here is an example of an advanced/proficient blog post:
“This Is Just to Say” is about a boy who ate plums in the ice box which were cold, sweet, and delicious, which someone was probably saving to have for breakfast, and how he wants them to forgive him. I think this was written to entertain readers with a silly story about someone who ate plums when they weren’t supposed to.
The second poem I read, “Choosing Shoes,” is about someone who wanted to choose shoes but couldn’t and how the person would choose bright shoes or white shoes but another person would choose fat shoes or flat shoes. I think this poem was written to entertain readers about a story about choosing from lots of shoes.
I choose “Choosing Shoes” because it reminds me of a Doctor Seuss book I have. The author used alliteration when they said “Dandy-dance-by-night shoes,” and “Pretty pointy-toe shoes.” My next reason is because the author used repetition when repeating the word shoes. Also, the author used rhyme scheme. The first stanza it was AAAB. “Choosing Shoes” was a great poem, and I hope it wins.
