(Love song‚ with two goldfish.)

EXAMPLE (A) Grace Chua’s poem‚ “(love song‚ with two goldfish)” describes a basic love story that yields no happy ending.

As humans we love to ask questions. Why is the sky blue? Why do people forget how to drive during the winter? As teachers‚ we are the same; however it is very important that teachers understand how to be able to ask the right questions to enhance learning and also use questions as a proper assessment tool. Questions need to be thoughtful‚ having a specific purpose‚ and be age appropriate. What I mean by age appropriate is that you do not want to ask a 1st grader to analyze why the main character

Love in all its forms‚ from blessed matrimony to crippling betrayal‚ has been the poet’s canvas‚ marred by violent‚ disconnected‚ bold strokes‚ with a lot of detail but no form. How can one define something that is so unique for the individual beholder‚ and yet common themes run deep and have become metaphors more easily attributed and immediately understood than the word ‘love’ itself. The first point of note is the familiarity of the language used by John Clare in the nineteenth century
