"it is time to say good-bye to my imaginary friends, time to turn the first big number "

# data[].attributes.body
I like the quote "It seems only yesterday I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I would shine. But now if I fall upon the sidewalks of life, I skin my knees. I bleed." Because, it has a lot of meaning. And, it lets the reader know that once he turns 10, he'll have less fun, and be less of a little kid.

# data[].attributes.body
this the beginning of sadness,i say to myself,as i walk through the universe in my sneakers. it is time to say good-bye to my imaginary friends,time to turn the first big number.

the perfect simplicity of being one and the complexity introduced by two.

I like the phrase you chose because it shows youth and how you're age can alter the way you act and think.

You chose a good phrase. I liked it too because it shows positivity in younger kids.

# data[].attributes.body
“But now I am mostly at the window watching the late afternoon light. Back the it never fell so solemnly against the side of my tree house never leaned against the garage as it does today,all the dark blue speed drained out of it.”

# data[].attributes.body
I like that phrase because it shows how when the reader gets hurt they show that pain, as to before they would only shine with positivty.

# data[].attributes.body
i like the phrase you chose. It was really important and had an impact

# data[].attributes.body
I think your phrase was good and strong. It really was one of the most powerful statements in the poem and I'm glad someone thought so too.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite quote in the poem " you tell me it is too early to be looking back."  The poet is only turning ten and shoudlnt be already  looking back in the past. The poet is too small to be thinking about the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I love your phrase and your reasoning for liking it. I think it shows a new side to the poem I didn't think of

# data[].attributes.body
my favorite quote is "it is time to say goodbye to my imaginary friends,time to turn the first big number' i liked it because it shows the character is growing up

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite phrase was "...I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I would shine." I liked this phrase because it explains how the author use to be filled with only positivity when they were younger.

# data[].attributes.body
" If you cut me I would shine. But now if I fall upon the sidewalks of life, I skin my knees. I bleed." I feel like this means when you're growing up we feel as if we have protection and we don't really understand what the real world consists of. Now that we've grown up we have to fight for ourselves and understand life isn't all fun and games. We hit bumps in the road and we realize the truth about everything.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite phrase is "but now if i fall upon the sidewalk of life, I skin my knees. I bleed." I like this phrase because it shows that when you grow through life new struggles will a raise, that you haven't faced before.

# data[].attributes.body
I like your comment because it shows how that when your young you believe that you can be anything, but when you get older you realize that its a lot different than you expect.

# data[].attributes.body
@Josh
I agree with your response and it helps the reader get more incite about the poem

# data[].attributes.body
I highly agree with your comment because it shows how i feel about that phrase even though it's not my favorite phrase from the text but i do like how you explained the complexity and how you explained that getting older comes with its pros and cons -Dulce

# data[].attributes.body
I like your comment because it shows your knowledge of how you know how to analyze a poem and its deeper meaning.

# data[].attributes.body

@Collins
I liked your phrase because it can apply to multiple people and multiple situations

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite phrase is "...a kind of measles of the spirit..." This is my favorite quote because it sounds as if I should have a deeper meaning. And to make things different, they make the reference to a diseased/tainted spirit.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite quote would be "You tell me it is too early to be looking back..." because It shows how even though your still young you can still look over your life or your life choices.

# data[].attributes.body
"But now if i fall upon the sidewalks of life, I skin my knees and bleed."
I like this phrase Collins added to the poem because it explains how life can be great util you make a mistake and instead of shine you bleed, it hurts and it finally shows your human side. It shows the best of you and mainly it explains your flaws and how youll never be perfect no matter how many people look up to you. This phrase also remind me of all the mistakes i've made so far and how i can fix them if i put my mind to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the phrase about, how he was different characters at different ages and he was using his imagination to help him to grow up.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite phrase was "You tell me it is too early to be looking back, but that is because you have forgotten the perfect simplicity of being one and the beautiful complexity introduced by two." I love this phrase because of how the speaker explains the amazing feeling of getting older. Plus, the speaker mentions complexity, which to me means that they understand how age brings difficulty.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked your comment because I felt the same way

# data[].attributes.body
your comment was very detailed it was a very good description  and connection about your childhood-ailee

# data[].attributes.body
i like your comment because it explained how the child wasn't expecting such a big change for his life. ~Brianna

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with this because since he is just turning ten he doesn't know all that life has in store for him after childhood.

# data[].attributes.body
i liked this because as a child you think you're invincible and you feel like nothing can hurt you because you've never been hurt before.

# data[].attributes.body
I could make myself invisible by drinking a glass of milk a certain way. At seven i was a soldier, at nine a prince. I like this because i wish it was this simple plus its nice to dream.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how you explained how he explains every year and every memory for that year

"Back then it never fell so solemnly against the side of my tree house, and my bicycle never leaned against the garage as it does today all the dark blue speed drained out of it." I liked this phrase because now the bike is drained of life and happiness from when he was younger.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing that he knows that his childhood is coming to an end, he looks back into every year he's made memories for. Towards the end, he says "If you cut me I would shine. But now if I fall upon the sidewalks of life, I skin my knees. I bleed." I like how he shows that he's now transitioning out of his childhood life and onto further things that'll soon teach him things.

# data[].attributes.headline
My favorite phrase is "It is time to say good bye to imaginary friends, time to turn the first big number" He is saying he is getting old for the things he used to do.

I liked how you use the word pure to describe him.

# data[].attributes.body
A disfiguring chicken pox of the soul. i just like how he uses the words, making anything possible. A disfiguring chicken pox of the soul sounds deep and from the heart. He is basically getting sick at the idea that his childhood is over and that he is old now. He longs to be young again.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite phrase was when he said : "If you cut me I would shine. But know if I fall upon the sidewalks of life, I skin my knees. I bleed." I liked this phrase because it symbolizes him transitioning from his childhood.

# data[].attributes.body
'This is the beginning of sadness, i say to myself , as i walk through the universe in my sneakers.' This is my favorite because when i was turning 10 i was the exact opposite. I thought my life was just starting and he thinks his is ending. I like his point of view because i thought everyone was so excited to turn 10 but he wasn't so it's interesting to see someone else's point of view.

at four i was an Arabian Wizard i could make myself invisible by drinking a glass of milk. this is my favorite because it is showing that he use to have a wonderful imagination when he was younger.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite phrase was when he said " I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I would shine." I like that phrase because he is saying that he used to think he was pure but when he turns ten he is no longer pure just because he is ten.
