  Getting in April, the snow is still staying on the ground, it doesn't seem to like go away but alright, what else can we do about it? Let's back to the book. I read it from last week that Eric joined a gang named Crip, but Julia wasn't willing to accept this fact because she hates gangs as hell, more importantly, Eric didn't really want to discuss this whole thing with her before he jumped in, so Julia had nothing to do but broke up with Eric. Since then, everything seems to back on the same old track, but for me, I don't think so. As the understanding I have about Julia, I believe and predicted that this isn't the ending of this relationship, something will still be happening.

 

  After a whole week's absences of school, Eric's back to class but apparently, his teacher was pissed off because of it, so Mrs. Ivey wanted to have a conversation with him, I'd like to point out a very frequent and funny face behaviour's- nostrils flared, which most likely means this guy is on the edge. I take this as a sign of anger and a part of the art of conversation. The next thing happened have made me more positive in the side of this is not the ending of them, because Julia noticed there was something up which is probably bad for Eric and warned him, saved him. I don't thing an extraneous would do things to others as Julia did, so I believe there will be something happen, no doubt. I hope they can work it out and back to together.

 

  We worked a long time for Blackour poetry, which requires us to choose letters from newspapers to form the poetry we want by drawing black and leaving blanks. I think I've done it smoothly, I didn't encounter many problems when I arranged to finish it, I chose three topics related to our lives and society named Reality, and revealed some real problem in our lives. Of course I had my challenges in the process, my bad hand-drawing made me do the same one over and over, almost took my all patience, but I got it done anyway. For the parts that I like, I think my content is worth to read because they are really close to our lives, for example, Winnipeg's snow is a very serious problem troubling people living in Winnipeg. So I think this is my biggest advantage of my poetry.

  Comparing with other normal ways, Blackout poetry is more funny, it interests more children to read instead a few of children are willing to read. It also gives the creator more space to think every possible way, gives more choices. As a reader, I like finding these little letters and form up a complete poetry, it is really interesting for me and I believe many people do. There is another benefit for readers that readers can think up more ideas basic on the original poetry. Anyway, I think Blackout poetry is a new modern method for people to read.
