Haikus In The News

Hi,

    I am going to do a Haikus on the First Amendment! There is a certain way to do a haiku. Read my notes and you will understand them.

Line 1 - Five Syllables

Line 2 - Seven Syllables

Line 3 - Five Syllables

Here's my Haiku:

                      The First Amendment

                Gives the right to speak freely

                       Has Consequences!

Farewell Brianna

Hi Brianna,

     These past few weeks have been fun and it is sad to see them ending. I hope we've been able to help you on your way to becoming a professional journalist. I hope you have fun and keep getting those A's!

 

                          Sincerely,

Tobacco Campany Sues

            

^{Tobacco Company Sues}           

           ^{Two U.S. cigarette makers sued the state of California for speaking ill of their company in their state-sponsored advertisements. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and Lorillard Tobacco Co. acknowledged that they filed the suit to immobilize some of the California's Proposition 99 advertising. The companies argue that many of the state's advertisements misuse taxpayer funds violate the companies­ Constitutional rights and have a prejudicial affect on the lawsuits related to smoking.}

Good-bye Brianna

Brianna-

It has been so much fun working with you these past couple of weeks. I have a great time, and learned a lot, and I hope you have too. I still can't believe that you are as young as you are. You act, write and look older than your age. I think that you are a great writer and I hope that someday I will see some of your articles when they are published in a famous newspaper. I think that you just keep up your effort and just have fun with your writing, you will get better and better as the years go on.

I just want to tell you that you have so much to look forward to, as you get older, as do all of us. High school is so much fun, and some say that it is the best years of your life, I hope that is not true for my sake. My only words of advice for you, as your work will get harder as you get older and there will be times when you feel that you have too much work to do and you just feel like quitting, don't. Whenever you feel like your drowning in homework, just take one step at a time. Do one thing at a time, and forget about your other work. As long as you focus on what you are doing, and just got from one thing to another, you will get through everything. Oh, and my other piece of advice that I swear makes everything so much easier, is to do your homework as soon as possible. As soon as you get home, even on Fridays, if you get all your work done you will be so much happier for the rest of the day. I promise if you always do this, you will have much less stress in your life.

I think that you are a great kid and I am sad to leave our little "Internet" relationship. Keep up your writing and have a great time.

Sincerely,

Emily
