Bring Your Own Lunchby Bruce LanskyDon’t eat school lunches— not even a lick.They might make you nauseous. They might make you sick. Just take a small bite and you’ll start to feel ill. If the veggies don’t get you, the meatloaf sure will.
What is the poet trying to say? How do you know? Explain in complete sentences.
I Dream a World I dream of a world where man No other man will scorn, Where love will bless the Earth And peace its paths adorn. I dream a world where all Will know sweet freedom’s way, Where greed no longer saps the soul Nor avarice blights our day. A world I dream where black or white, Whatever race you be, Will share the bounties of the earth And every man is free. Where wretchedness will hang its head And joy like a pearl, Attends the needs of all mankind Of such I dream, my world!
