For heidi with_blue_hair-1
This poem tells the story of a teenage girl named Heidi who dyes her hair blue and is sent home from school as a result. While the headmistress claims it is because her hair is not dyed in the school colors, it is suggested there are deeper reasons for objecting to Heidi's new style. When Heidi's father argues that she should be able to express her individuality, the school eventually backs down. The poem explores themes of conformity, rebellion, and individuality within institutions through this seemingly minor event in Heidi's life.
For Heidi With Blue Hair
Heidi was sent home from school for dying her hair blue, as the headmistress said dyed hair was not allowed and Heidi's hair was not done in the school colors. Her father argued with the school on the phone that Heidi was not behaving poorly, it was just a style, and they had checked the rules first. Heidi added that the dye cost $25 and would not wash out. The school eventually gave in, realizing Heidi's mother had recently passed away. The next day, Heidi's black friend dyed her hair in the school colors as an act of solidarity and witty tease, and the battle was won.

Inmrstilchersclass 111121061550-phpapp01
Here is a draft poem in the style of 'In Mrs Tilscher's Class' but about my own primary school experiences:
In Miss Allen's Class
You could spend all morning tracing the routes
On the huge world map by the window,
Listening to Miss Allen name each country
In her lilting Irish accent.
"Ireland, England, France," she'd say with a smile.
Recess was a whirl of playground games,
Chasing friends around the climbing frame.
Sandwiches and juice to refuel us
Before more lessons in the sunny room.
Miss Allen filled our minds with knowledge,
Her passion for learning was contagious.

The celts j6
The document summarizes information about the Celts who lived in Britain and Ireland during the Iron Age. It describes how archaeologists have learned about Celtic culture from accidental discoveries like a body found with food still in its stomach. The Celts lived in roundhouses and hillfort settlements for protection. They farmed, traded goods, and the men trained as warriors, using weapons like swords, spears, and chariots. Celtic religion involved belief in gods and the otherworld, and druids held important religious and social roles. The coming of the Romans would drastically change Celtic life on the islands.
The clod-and-the-pebble--autosaved-
William Blake (1757-1827) was an English artist, poet and printmaker. His poem "The Clod and the Pebble" contrasts the perspectives of a clod of clay and a pebble on the brook on the nature of love. The clod believes that love seeks to help others rather than itself, while the pebble views love as selfishly seeking its own pleasure through controlling others. Blake presents both views symmetrically without indicating a preference, showing that love can be understood in different, even contrary ways.
Anglo saxons
The Anglo-Saxons were groups of farmer-warriors from Germany who invaded Britain over a thousand years ago, consisting of the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes. They lived in wooden houses clustered in villages near rivers, protected by wooden fences. They grew crops like cabbage and onions and hunted wild boar and deer, eating their meat with bread and drinking beer. They were also very superstitious, believing in charms and potions for protection from evil spirits. After the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans led by William the Conqueror invaded England and defeated the Anglo-Saxons in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
the anflo saxons
The Anglo-Saxons were farmers who lived in villages with thatched roof houses in Anglo-Saxon England. They drank beer and ate a mix of vegetables and meat like deer and wild boar. They believed in lucky charms and superstitions to protect themselves from evil spirits. The names of the days of the week come from both celestial bodies and Germanic gods. The Vikings came to Britain after the Anglo-Saxons.
the anglo saxons
The Anglo-Saxons were tribes from Germany and Denmark who settled in Britain after the Romans left in the 5th century AD. They lived in villages with long halls and slept on rushes. As farmers, they ate vegetables, meat and drank milk or mead. Society was divided into classes with thanes at the top, followed by free churls and slave thralls. They believed in Norse gods and supernatural creatures. The names of the days of the week come from Latin and Norse gods. The Normans eventually conquered the Anglo-Saxons in 1066 after the Battle of Hastings, ending their rule in Britain.

Written near a port on a dark evening charlotte smith
Charlotte Smith was an English Romantic poet known for her sonnets and Gothic novels. This poem describes a dark, foggy night near the sea. The speaker hears only the crashing waves and a distant ship's bell marking the hour. All is shadowy except for the surf's luminous line on the sand. The faint ship lights resemble "wandering fairy fires" that mislead travelers, just as reason provides an uncertain light through life's "darkling way."
A wife in london by thomas hardy
Thomas Hardy's poem "A Wife In London" depicts a wife waiting alone in London for her husband to return from war. The title suggests her loneliness without her husband. The fog represents the wife's sadness and stress as she receives only a letter from her husband, not his physical return. The letter provides a glimmer of hope as the husband writes of hoping to reunite, but ultimately the poem reveals the tragedy and absurdity of war by implying the husband may have died in conflict.
I years had been from home
The poem describes a woman returning home after many years away. As she approaches the front door, she is afraid to open it for fear of seeing a stranger or ghostly version of herself. She hesitates at the door with trembling hands, too scared to enter. Ultimately, she flees the house in a state of anxiety, unable to face what may be inside representing her inner self.
The pains of sleep by samuel taylor coleridge (bianca, juana and sol)
The poem describes a speaker's painful nights spent alone in bed, unable to sleep due to nightmares. Over the past two nights, the speaker has been awakened screaming from fiendish dreams filled with terrible images representing mankind's capacity for horror. By the third night, after again waking from these dreams, the speaker weeps like a child, overcome with strange sufferings. While the dreams seem fitting punishment for those deeply stained by sin, the speaker asks why these pains must fall upon him.
