In the poem The Purpose of Poetry by Jared Carter, it tells the story of a man who was taken away from what he knew and loved best. His farmland got flooded and he had to move to a trailer park where his daughter lived. He couldn’t handle being away from where he loved so he took the easy way out.

 

Life with smell is like Lebron James with Dwayne Wade.

Smell is a good sense to have until you walk by a raw sewage

pipe then it’s your worst enemy. But smell is always going to

be my favorite because it lets me know if something smells

good or bad and it can let me know if my dog needs a bath.

In the spring my smell lets me smell all the flowers and the

air around me.

If my smell were taken away from me I would be furious

because I couldn’t small all the wonderful things in the world

around me like the sea air or the flowers or my moms meatloaf.

If my smell were taken away I would also be a little happy

because I wouldn’t be able to smell the bad things in the world

the sewage or a skunk or a swamp. So if my smell smell were

taken away from me it would ruin my life forever.

I am in the cold all alone,
nobody to talk to
and nobody to give me company.

In the freezing
temperatures
of Alaska.

The only thing keeping me alive
is determination,
to get back to my friends
and family.

To hold my mother,
and to see her once
again.

This is the story of the time I swallowed a nail                It all started at my cousins house house at about 11:00 in the mourning when I put extra strong and sticky tape on his head while he was sleeping.When he woke up he ripped it off  as fast as he could .
Then he came running down the hall with the tape roll and I had the nail in my mouth like a toothpick.He stuck the tape on my head and I tried to pull it off but it got stuck in my hair so we pulled it off fast and hard. When I yelled the nail slipped down my throat.
7 hours later I told my mom and we went to the hospital. When we arrived everybody was asking me how I swallowed a nail and I said it slipped down my throat by accident.

When the doctors called my name they took my blood pressure , temperature and asked if I had any shortness of breath and I said no.They took x-rays of me and the nail was on the edge of going into my collon or my stomach and if it want into my stomach they’d have to sedate me (put me to sleep) and go in by my throat and bring it out.
The next day the doctors told  me that the nail passed through my collon and it would come out naturally. That’s the story of the time I swallowed a nail.
