Ballad Poem

Slavery was a horrible thing

Most slaves were african americans

The whites had no sympathy for slaves

No one could speak against whites

If anyone did speak death for them

So most people lived in fear

Many slaves tried to runaway

Some succeeded some died trying

Some got caught and killed

Cotton picking is what they did

Singing songs for jesus while working

They prayed to be free one day

The white mens heart said live the niggro life

Some died with pride like fredrick douglas

He succeeded in running away and fighting for 

the freedom of others 

Narrative poem

i was nine years old going to the park for a family picnic

very excited because it was a new park

i was taking my bike it was my first time riding out side the neighborhood 

i didn't now what to expect of the park

what if there weren't any places to ride bikes

the car ride seemed for very long i new it was far away from my house 

finally we got there i didn't see a playground area

i saw lots of roads and hills to ride bikes

everyone when there own way 

my parents started to fix the picnic 

i started walking around to see who i could find

i found my brother but he wasn't in a place to ride so i left

from a distance i saw my sister and she was riding her bike

taking her bike up this really big hill

i asked if i could go up she said the hill was to big for me

i denied it and insisted on going up the hill

i started to go up the hill very excited

i had to stop several ties to rest from pulling up my bike

i finally got to the top but realized i forgot my helmet and knee pads

i thought to my self i don't need them

she got mad at me for not listening

i didn't listen and said to myself i could do this

she told me to stay and she went down the hill

i started to prepare myself to go down hill

i was excited, determined and scared to go down

one more time i can do this

i started going down yelling happily

then started going faster and yelled terrified

i yelled really loud my parents turned to look

mu parents didn't now what to do my dad thought quickly to tackle me down

he waited till i was close to him so he could jump at me

he jumped at me and we landed on the floor i had only a 

little bit of bruises and him too

It all begins when the franks here about the war and hitler taking over. They start to realize that german nazis are getting closer to were they are so they must go into hiding. They have many german friends that can help then in hiding . Unfortunately only one person was willing to help the franks the woman's name is miep. she welcomed the franks into her basement so they wont get captured by the nazis and taken to concentration camps. they were informed that they could not make any movement from 8am-6pm. the reason why they could not make any noise is because during those hours the soldiers were on duty. Suddenly miep informed the franks that they were going to have company soon. the family that was joining them were the van dans. they van dans came and joined the franks in hiding they had only one son  named peter. they seemed very wealthy and weren't use to living in places like the basement. peter didn't like having many conversations with anyone.

Mr. Dussel had no problems rooming with Anne until she started to have nightmares. her nightmares were about the nazi's coming to take her to a concentration camp. That was a bad thing because she would yell and if the nazis were to here her they would come and take everyone. they spent years together in hiding and as years went by peter and Annes relationship bettered and they became friends and they gave each other company. they could speak to each other like friends and even gave each other advice. so they discovered that the reason why there is not enough food is because Mr.Van Dan would come at night and take some. after that discovery one day they herd something down stairs and thought it may have been miep but they didn't want to take any chances so peter was told to turn off the light quietly but he fell of the  chair and made a really loud noise. they got really scared and the men went down to see who was down there it turned out to be a thief  that took a radio. they were afraid that the nazis would find them and trace were he took it from and start to search. For a few days the were living in fear of getting caught. Days weeks went by and suddenly they herd a loud noise down stairs and thought it was miep trying to warn then the nazis were coming.so they waited so see if they said anything and they did say something it was the nazis coming get us. they throw the door down and ordered us to get what we could and go down stairs.
