Hi Bob

This is a poem I wrote during a 15-minute free write time a few days ago. My inspiration came from when I was just thinking,” Hi Bob”. I made rhymes and then I went along to completely unrelated stuff using them. Here is the poem:

Hi Bob
You robbed
Mr. Joe
Who went on a row
boat
Next to a slow
boat
to China
Where he stole from
Ms. Tyna
Who hated
Ms. Lina
And stole all her stuff
And got a huge fine-a
While sitting next to Dina
Who robbed Bob
Who hates Steve Jobs
And sells what he robs
From his gobs
Of money
And Honey
Made by bees
In the trees
Swaying in the breeze
Until the wind stops
And they freeze
Until they hear Bob sneeze
And they get back to work
Inside murk
And marshlands
Of the harsh lands
Called Ireland
Where Bambi on steroids kicks
A tick named Mr. Hick
Who frolicked with a dust mite who became huge
And stopped all the trouble
By eating
Bob

Intro

On December 31, 2009, I watched the hit movie Avatar. This is a review of the movie.




Story


Crippled ex-marine Jake Sully is taken to Pandora for a special mission to collect $20,000,000 rocks called unobtanium to be sold on Earth. However, there is a problem. Indigenous people known as the Na’Vi have their village right over the largest deposit of unobtanium on Pandora. Jake is paired with a scientist named Norm. Because of this, a professor named Grace created the Avatars. She mixed human and Na’Vi DNA to create them. Some humans would remotely control the Avatars, which looked like the Na’Vi. The Avatars were supposed to gain the trust of the Na’Vi and get them to move. However, Jake gets lost in the Pandoran jungle on his first mission. A Na’Vi woman named Eteeri saves Jake’s life when he is attacked by a pack of wild dogs/hyenas/wolf things. She is about to kill him when a group of seeds from the Na’Vi’s sacred tree cluster around him. Eteeri then takes Jake to the Hometree village of the Omethicaya Na’Vi. Jake learns from the Na’Vi, but he is telling everything he learns to his boss. At one point, after learning about the Na’Vi and becoming one of them, Jake falls in love with Eteeri. However, on the next day, bulldozers come to destroy Hometree. However, when Jake disables and destroys the outer steering cameras in a fit of rage, a group of bombers, led by the insane, trigger-happy head of security, goes to destroy Hometree with missiles. Hometree is destroyed and Jake is removed from the tribe when the Omethicaya learn that he knew the gun ships were coming. Then the head of security takes Grace, Jake, and Norm to the main section of the base and imprisons them. However, one of their friends, a gunship pilot, saves them. But during their escape by gunship, the head of security shoots Grace and gives her serious injuries. They leave with the link center used to control the Avatars. An ensuing war (battle would not be able to describe it fully) causes many things to happen, and I won’t spoil the surprises, so see the rest of the movie yourself.

1.Good special effects. It didn’t look like some CGI image. It looked like an actual 10-foot tall person.

2.Good, understandable storyline.

3.It just looks good.


Cons


1.Lots of swearing.
