Introduction:
This particular project made it a fun and easy way to explain the book “My Brother Sam is dead” to other readers. The project inspired me because I like reading and understanding poems, and others ought to feel the same. I learned that using poems is a fast and efficient way to paraphrase a novel.
Poem:
The war was a big deal, to the British and Rebellious appeal.
For Sam it meant to seek braveness, but Tim thought Sam was outrageous.
Tim thought Sam had heart, even though Tim was jealous from the start.
With Father gone without a trace there are many obstacles Tim must face.
Tim feels under stress while his father and others are possessed.
Sam is at the war while his mother and Tim work at the store.
The Suspicion aroused when the British came riding into town.
As the British arrived, Ned and five others were mortified.
Mr. Meeker is dead and soon it’ll be Sam’s head.
Sam visited Redding for a short period of time,
Then blamed and held captive for a cattle crime.
Tim trying to help Sam escape will not change the minds of the officials
Mother still has faith even though he may not be safe
Sam wished to revolt, and death was his end result.

Geno! I so love this poem. It summarizes the whole story to me and haven't even read it at all. Then way you made it rhyme makes the book very interesting to me and makes me want to read it. I know I have a better understanding about the Revolutionary War along the lives of the characters in the story.
Geno. Nice job with your poem. I like how you did it your own way instead of trying to make the poem look like some famous writer with language people can't understand. You have great creativity and you can tell that you understand the book very well.
