and I’m going blind in my right eye. Weird, right?

Well, it doesn´t finish there: Tuesday, it starts all again, but I add a couple of chickenpox, and tonsils as big as a rock! There is more to the mix, but I won´t say it all. 

On and on it goes, all the week.

Thankfully, today is the weekend, and I am totally fine! Wait, tomorrow is Monday... Oh, look! Ahhh! My back is paralyzed, my fever is 104ºF, and my brain is shrinking to the size of a nut! 

🤧🤒

By Shel Silverstein

“I cannot go to school today," 

Said little Peggy Ann McKay. 

“I have the measles and the mumps, 

A gash, a rash and purple bumps. 

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, 

I’m going blind in my right eye. 

My tonsils are as big as rocks, 

I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox 

And there’s one more--that’s seventeen, 

And don’t you think my face looks green? 

My leg is cut--my eyes are blue-- 

It might be instamatic flu. 

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, 

I’m sure that my left leg is broke-- 

My hip hurts when I move my chin, 

My belly button’s caving in, 

My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained, 

My ‘pendix pains each time it rains. 

My nose is cold, my toes are numb. 

I have a sliver in my thumb. 

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak, 

I hardly whisper when I speak. 

My tongue is filling up my mouth, 

I think my hair is falling out. 

My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight, 

My temperature is one-o-eight. 

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear, 

There is a hole inside my ear. 

I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what? 

What’s that? What’s that you say? 

You say today is. . .Saturday? 

G’bye, I’m going out to play!”

I made a comic strip using story board creator (which in my opinion, it looked pretty cursed and kind of strange. I didn't really like it). The context of this part of the comic strip comes from when the character says that if it's saturday. and then as soon as she heard it, she would say her goodbye and she would go out to play.


PEEL paragraph:

Point: The character is insane for having a big amount of symptoms from sickness, but won't be sick during the weekends, and actually surviving

Explain: Because of what she said she had a lot of symptoms from the weekdays.

Evidence: the evidence comes from the large list of symptoms she has.

Link: therefore, the character is insane for surviving an entire list of sick symptons.

When I was One,

I had just begun.

When I was Two,

I was nearly new.

When I was Three

I was hardly me.

When I was Four,

I was not much more.

When I was Five,

I was just alive.

But now I am Six,

I'm as clever as clever,

So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.


-

Turning tree stumps into snow men 

And houses into birthday cakes 

And spreading sugar over lakes. 

Smooth and clean and frosty white, 

The world looks good enough to bite. 

That's the season to be young, 

Catching snowflakes on your tongue! 

Snow is snowy when it's snowing. 

I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going.

By A. A. Milne
