Half Brother By Kenneth Oppel (School Assignment)

Although I have talked about the book before, but this is for a school assignment.

Is it even possible to have a monkey as a brother? Brown-furry creatures, they would terrorize our homes!

Half Brother is a very melodious book written by Canadian author, Kenneth Oppel.  Oppel writes about the atypical life of Ben Tomlin. His new brother Zan is a monkey. No, I didn’t say he acts like one, he IS one. Ben’s mom and dad brought the chimp home to see if Zan, the monkey, can learn human sign language and the human life.

Where I'm From

This is a poem I have wrote last year for a book called Tom Finder. We had to write a where I'm from poem, editing Show Don't Tell into it as well.

The Deep Soul

I’m from gloomy-dusty spaces,

Where crickets chirp to the muted grace.

I am from a place of suppressed secrets,

With too much concealed in open spaces.

From the stunning dawn rays,

Where the shine brings out my deepened soul.

From the who-cares,

And abruptly bolting off to a new blissful home.
