I have a close bond with my dog, where I  give him food, water, let him out to do his business, and play with him. In return, he sleeps with me at night and cuddles with me when I'm watching movies or shows. The poem is about how much I love my dog, whose name is Goliath. He's not a very active dog.
Another poem I wrote was an acrostic poem about the bonds I have with my friends. The bonds I have with my friends aren't professional, and it's a two way street. We have each other's backs and we don't lie. The poem is all about what the bonds I have with my friends are like, and kind of what I expect in a friendship.
My last poem is a free verse poem about the bond I have with music. Music isn't a tangible thing, but listening to music can help calm me down when I'm all worked up. Not to mention, music is always accessible, so it's not something that can leave me. The poem is all about how music is a safe space that helps me through the rough points in life and kind of keeps me focused.]]> 2018-01-12 15:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221005018 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221009955 These two people are Matthew Patrick and Nathan Sharp, my two favorite YouTubers. They're friends, which is a type of bond that you can have. They also have a professional bond because they work together to help each other in their "jobs." They help each other with videos and stuff. This is a GIF of bloopers from a video they did together with some other people.]]> 2018-01-12 15:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221009955 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221466169 Monkey See, Monkey Do, Monkey Connect is about why we laugh, how we kind of mimic people, why we do some of the things we do. It shows how the bonds we have with people affect us as human beings. "What intrigues me most about laughter is how it spreads. It's almost impossible not to laugh when everybody else is." (de Waal, 1-2) Laughter creates a positive bond, in which, if someone else is laughing, we feel inclined to laugh too. When we share close bonds with people and are around them a lot, we tend to act like them as well, showing the bonds we have. "We involuntarily enter the bodies of those around us as if they're our own. This is what allows us, or other primates, to re-create what we have seen others do." (de Waal, 126-129) "The way our bodies-including voice, mood, posture, and so on-are influenced by surrounding bodies is one of the mysteries of human existence, but one that provides the glue that holds entire societies together." (de Waal, 173-176) The way we act sometimes is influenced by the bonds we have with others, including the bonds we have with friends, family, teachers, and various other people. ]]> 2018-01-15 15:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221466169 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221469272 The cast of Stranger Things-this shows a bond of close friendship, particularly between the boys and Millie, aka Eleven. Before the show, these people had never met, during filming, they became really close, like you can see in the picture below. I chose this picture because I think it shows how, when you and other people go through similar experiences-like they did when they all acted for the show-you develop a special bond of friendship.]]> 2018-01-15 15:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221469272 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221470538 The picture shows Cristina Vee and Nathan Sharp, who recently became engaged. This kind of shows the bonds between lovers, and how it's different from other bonds.  I mean, Nate looks at Cristina with so much love, a way only significant others would look at each other. The way we act around with people are always different. The way we act around family is different than the way we act around friends, which is different than how we act around teachers. The way we look at each other is always different, because we don't look at our friends the way we look at our parents. I chose this picture because it shows the difference between our different bonds. ]]> 2018-01-15 15:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221470538 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221473410 The Stayer is about a man who, instead of leaving his country with his family, stayed in his homeland, even if there wasn't much there for him. At least, that's what his family thought, but he makes it clear that there's a lot there for him that they're just not noticing. " . . . he chanted  under his breath to no one, why should he leave, live in perpetual longing within exile?" (Suarez, 16-18) The man-Chicho-has a special bond with his home country, Cuba, and what lies within it's borders, which is shown throughout the poem. " . . . the chicharras echoed their trill against the emptiness of life, against the wake of resistance in this place he knew as a child, as a man, un hombre, bend against the idea of leaving his country . . ." (Suarez, 21-26) There was also, " . . . intent on hearing the song of a tomeguin as it calls for a mate . . ." (Suarez, 30-31) The entire poem explains why he stayed in his homeland, and the strong bond he had with his homeland. ]]> 2018-01-15 15:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221473410 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221737088 Animals in Translation was about how animals are able to perceive things in the world much better than humans can, and this is shown through stories that people have to say about their animals. One story was about a cat who would go to the door precisely five minutes before her owner was bound to come home, no matter how early or how late the lady-Jane-was. "Jane's husband works at home, and five minutes before Jane comes home he'll see the cat go to the door, sit down, and wait. Since Jane doesn't come home at the same time every day, the cat isn't going by it's sense of time, . . ." (Grandin, 11-14) This kind of shows that animals-mainly pets-and humans have strong bonds. The cat waits for its owner to come home, showing the cat loves Jane very much. ]]> 2018-01-16 15:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221737088 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221745154 This GIF is from the show Supernatural and shows the bond between Sam and Dean, who are brothers. Dean may be shorter, but he's the oldest one, and he would do anything to save Sammy, even if it means dying. The two have died for each many times, but they always come back to life. they've had fights in the past, but they've always made up. They're hunters, and hunt monsters, such as werewolves, demons, vampires, wendigos, angels, kitsunes, shapeshifters, and where I'm at in season seven, they're hunting Leviathans. They have a close bond that is sometimes professional, sometimes goofing off, sometimes a mix of the two. No matter what, they always have each other's back, and would do anything for each other. Dean even sold his soul to bring Sammy back from the dead. If that's not a close bond, I don't know what is. ]]> 2018-01-16 15:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/221745154 21wilkjes https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/222092659 Katelyn and I stand juxtapose to each other, because we are very close friends.
Volatile bonds aren't very healthy, and can be dangerous in some cases.
Sometimes I exasperate my mother, but I love her nonetheless.
I am very amorous towards my dog, whom I love very much.
Ms. Lawless teaches us didactic lessons, trying to make sure we don't fail our freshman year.
My heart distends every time my friends say nice things about me.
Friends don't deride each other, they make fun of other people together!
Sometimes my parents will assail each other with harsh words, but they always make up in the end because they love each other.
In movies, siblings always seem to be benevolent to each other, but that's not how it works in my family.
Friends don't fabricate stories about their friends, because that's not how friendships work.]]> 2018-01-17 15:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/21wilkjes/b66hbvqrkau1/wish/222092659
