"The New Day of Sunrise and Sunset"
By:Benjamin Trapp


Dawn is here.
Whatching a new sunrise appear.
It's beautiful the say
and always gives a new sunrise a name.
We all want a sunrise in life
but we live on borrowed times.
We can't have everything we want.
Thats life.
Time goes by and everything changed.
It is mid-day.We all learn and live.
We have to share an give.
We are not bad people you have to say.
We are good people everyday.
The mid-time is passing.
You have to hurry.
Live life as long as you could.
Whatching a sunset go downis sad
and you get mad.
But when a sunset goes down
you will always know
there will be another sunrise to appear.

Where I'm From Poem

They asked Where am I From
By: Benjamin Trapp

Where am I from they asked me.
Me.
Why me?
Do you know where you are from?
I could be from anything, anywhere.
You couldn’t tell.
I am from my room watching chowder.
Damn he’s a big eater.
When I was little I watched everything.
Barney, Tellitubies, Zaboomafo,
even Spongebob.
I am from the world that is yours
created from pencil and eraser.
The world that you create and make it come to life.
You could make it anything.
A Heaven, a Hell, your world.
You decide.
I am from each video game ever made.
Running, jumping, fighting flying,
I wish I could do that.
I leave my world that I’m in to be someone or something else.
I am from the PS3 controller in my home.
Did I tell you my PS3 died the other day?
OHHH-LORD give it life.
It makes me sad.
I am from the suits I wear at a funeral.
Walking to see my dead relative to say goodbye for the last time.
Goodbye cousin. (Jodi)
Goodbye uncle. (Barnes)
Goodbye grandpa.
Goodbye all of you.
Now you can REST IN PIECE.
Don’t think badly about the future.
Only think good.
I am from the company that will help me be one of the best video game creators ever!!!
I am from my room drawing to hope that one day I’ll make a good cartoon show.
I am from the future with a loving home and additions to the family.
I will pass on what I’ve learned.
I am from a good home.
I am from a good family.
I was raised well.
I am part of my family tree.
My family tree will grow and grow more until….

What is the author's viewpoint on life in "The Edge is Where I Want to Be?" Use examples from text to prove your answer.





I think the authors viewpoint on life in "The Edge is Where I Want to Be" is to live on the edge. I think this because in the text it says" The edge is the cliff you've dangled from in a hundred nightmares you never know what's over that edge and there's only one way to find out" So to be able to live on the edge he has to make it over the edeg to be on it.
