Self PRAISE blogpost

Here I come, the cleverest one
One and only Original
Exceeding Einstein in Science
Nobel prize is for me to claim
So amazing so astounding

I'm, even at singing solo
No doubt, I'm better than Norah(Jones)
Madonna and Miley Cyrus
They're all MAD for me, who wouldn't be?
Of course, because I AM THE BEST!

A shiny sparkle* in the sky
People glance up to get a glimpse
The one and only, marvelous
A prodigy , a phenomenon
Flicker and flashes* everywhere


Explanation of the kennings:

  • Shiny sparkle=star
  • Flicker and flashes=Cameras

KENNINGS

Kennings~~~~~A kenning is a group of fancy words used to describe a word instead of just using the word itself. It is a more interesting and fun way to describe words because then the readers can try to imagine what we're trying to say. It's a type of metaphor style that they used a lot in old English.

KENNINGS
  • A teacher ------------------Educational director ~ Because the teacher is the one who is in charge of the class and giving you the proper education you need.
  • A bus driver ---------------Travel chauffeur ~ Because the bus driver can help take you different places.
  • A computer -------------Knowledge consultant ~ Because if you want to find out about anything you can look it up on the computer.
  • Love--------------------The Ultimate treasure ~the most valuable thing in life.
  • Bombs-------------Destroyer of Life ~ because it takes away people's lives

Kennings I made
