Recently I went on a trip called China Alive this is a picture of Steven climbing a mountain I have done an essay on Desertification and how it's humans fault. I really focus on that humans fault part because, just look at my title. Human’s Fault Imagine you are just living an ordinary life in the desert and suddenly out of nowhere you hear a whooshing noise from outside. You might think it’s a short sandstorm, but next thing you know the sand has covered your town and is there to stay. Humans are responsible for speed it up, so if something isn’t done soon the world will be taken over by deserts. It is desertification. The biggest reason deserts are growing is removal of vegetation, which leads to large growth in deserts, and as a result has been the reason some empires have fallen. The most apparent reason that deserts are overpowering forests is the removal of most vegetation. Deserts growing can lead to extinction of animals if the animals don’t have time to adapt. Humans letting animals eat on one piece of land over and over, called overgrazing, can destroy the land. Incorrect irrigation systems used by poor farmers waste space and over use the land. The deserts growing are mostly humans fault. Most of the large deserts came from overtime building desertification. Dry deserts lead to little rain, which can result in droughts and can be bad for farmers with little water to drink and little trees to plant. People don’t have enough water to live, which can result in shorter life expectancy. Natural deserts that humans haven’t created aren’t as harmful because trees hold them in but humans have destroyed those forests, which leads to dangerous growing deserts. Desertification is due to humans. Overgrowing deserts have been part of the collapse of some civilizations, including the African parts of Greece, and the Roman Empire. Human over planting causes desertification reusing too much soil. People are being forced back from their living areas from desertification. Cities have crumbled to deserts running them over. Some great empires have crumbled to deserts. With overgrowing deserts, and crumbling civilizations, humans have their hands full with stopping what they created. After a lot of work humans might be able to turn the fight with deserts around. Just if humans don’t make desertification any worse.

Yesterday... I use to hate going to school, but I loved a game with my friends. The taste of potatoes would horrify my taste buds, and baby food was the best dish ever. I didn’t know I was going to China, and I knew I lived in the smallest state in the U.S. I won at little league soccer, but I lost at being the best kid on the team.

Today... I hate too much homework, but I love the trampoline mat tingling on my feet. Tasting bacon makes me happy, lasagna isn’t my favorite of foods. I don’t know if I will make the play, but I know I’m in red. I won a writing competition, but I lost at achieving my goal of winning grand prize.

Tomorrow... I will hate pollution, but I will love green machines. mashed up fruit will be good for old people, but lollipops will rot your teeth. I will not know if dragons are real, I will know if they make flying cars. I will win the love of my grandchildren, but I will loose my hair.

On Thursday the homework was due, But our teacher gave it to us on Friday, I’d like to sue! weirdly enough, the whole class got detention, even the class pet Rue! and on Monday the teacher told us the worksheet was due! that was said to be handed out on Sunday, oh poo! this kept on going on for a day or two and once my teacher was really full of hullabaloo I went to my mom and said I’m through! I think I’m moving to a new school, see you!

Lay

Lay poems are long narrative poems they were usually sung in medieval times

The knight that stood was big and brave, he was off to slay the Strave,the Strave was a beast, large and strong even the kings own men feared the name but this man, he thought that the Strav was just a mouse, an ant, a speck of dust that was floating in the wind if I was with him you know what I would say you fool, you don’t know the Strave! well he went and didn’t know why people were sad he said don’t worry you think I will lose to an ant? Upon entering the cave he saw lots of bones by this point he thought what if it is not a mouse after all he entered saw the Strave and when the Strave saw him I fear it was too late the beast picked him up and he dropped his sword in fright it fell straight on the Strave’s foot and like an elephant that saw a mouse the Strave turned, whimpered, and ran the man stood in triumph, but when he heard a returning roar he turned and ran not so brave after all
