    This is Fabian. I don't have favorite music or song, but I looked in the internet and I found this one.

    Happiness is finding a pencil.
    Sleeping in moon light.
    Telling the time.
    Happiness is learning to whistle.
    Tying your shoe
    For the very first time.
    Happiness is playing the drum
    In your own school band.
    And happiness is walking hand in hand.

    Happiness is two kinds of ice cream.
    Knowing a secret.
    Climbing a tree.
    Happiness is five different crayons.
    Catching a firefly.
    Setting him free.
    And happiness is being alone every now and then.
    And happiness is coming home again.

    It has similes and metaphores and it is about how to be happy.

  2. Hi Ms.Hayde. It's Geidyliz C. One of my favorite songs is called Firework by Katy Perry. This song has Onomatopeia, metaphors and rhymes. This is some of the lyrics :
    Boom, boom, boom
    even brighter than the moon, moon, moon. It's always been inside of you, you, you. And now it's time to let it through, ough, ough. Cause baby your a firework.

  5. Hi Miss Haydee, it's Darío. One of my favorite songs it's called radioactive, Imagine Dragons sings it.Some of the lyrics are.

    “ I'm waking up to ash and dust, I whipe my brow and I sweat my rust, I'm breathing in the chemical's.

    I'm breaking up, shaping in, Then cheking out on the prison bus, This is it, The apocalypse, Whoa.

    I'm waking up, I'm felling in my bones, Enough to make my system blow, Welcome to the new age to new age, Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive''

  6. Hi Ms. Haydee... My 2nd favorite song is When Can I See You Again by Owl City. I like it because of the rhydhm and the lyrics and it has metaphors.

    Swich on the sky and the stars glow for you
    Go see the world 'cause it's also brand new
    Don't close your eyes 'cuse your future's ready to shine
    It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
    Welcome to the rhydhm of the night
    Tere's somethig in the air you can't deny

    It's been fun but now I' ve got to go
    Life is way to short to take it slow
    But before I go and go hit the road
    I gotta know, 'til then road
    When can i see you again?
    Oh oh oh oh
    When can I see you again?
    Oh oh oh oh

  9. Hi Mrs. Haydee it's Chris and my favorite is let it go by Demi Lovato. I like it because the song is about freedom. Here are some of the lyrics:

    Let it go, let it go
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it go, let it go
    Turn my back and slam the door
    And here I stand, and here I'll stay
    Let it go, let it go
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Standing frozen
    In the life I've chosen.
    You won't find me.
    The past is all behind me
    Buried in the snow.

    Let it go, let it go
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it go, let it go
    Turn my back and slam the door
    And here I stand, and here I'll stay
    Let it go, let it go
    The cold never bothered me anyway, yeah, whoa
    (Na na, na na, na na na na) [x4]
    Let it go yeah
    Na, na.
    Here I stand.
    Let it go, let it go, oh
    Let it go.

  10. Hello teacher is Liselie. One of my favorite songs is Just the way you are by Bruno Mars. I like it because it talks about the beauty in someone. It has repetition and rhymes.

    When I see your face
    theres not a thing that I would change
    cause you're amazing
    just the way you are

    And when you smile
    the whole world stops
    and stares for a while
    cause girl you're amazing
    just the way you are.

  12. Hi!!! It's Waleska. One of my favorite songs is "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. I love this song, why, simply because I'm always HAPPY!!! When you are happy, you can accomplish anything.

    Because I'm happy...
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I'm happy....
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy...
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
    Because I'm happy...
    Clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do

    This song has rhyme.

    Hope you like it!!!!

  13. Hi Ms Haydee,
    My favorite song is Story of my Life by One Direction, I like this song because it reminds me of my childhood when I was little i used to imagine what was I was going to do when I grow up. At the age that I am now im still young but iv realized and learned many things threw the years, Ive realized that life is a book that you write what goes threw your mind all the journeys you've had all the memories come back and that book that you write is all about your life unlike no other its different from others and everyone as one too.

    The story of my life I take her home id drive all night to keep warm in time is frozen

    The story of my life I give her hope I spend her love until she's broke inside the story of my life

    The story of my life X3

    This song has rhyme,
    Love Ana H.

  14. Hi Ms. Haydee, my favorite song is called Neon Lights by Demi Lovato. I like it because of the lyrics and the rhythm Here are some of the lyrics:
    Baby, when they look up at the sky
    We'll be shooting stars just passing by
    You'll be coming home with me tonight
    We'll be burning up like neon lights

    Please still my heart cause it's freaking out, it's freaking out, right now
    Shining like stars cause we're beautiful, we're beautiful, right now
    You're all I see in all these places
    You're all I see in all these faces
    So let's pretend we're running out of time, of time
    The song has rhymes, like "Sky/By", "Tonight/Lights", "Places/Faces", etc.

  15. Hi Mrs Haydee my favorite song is Happy by Pharrell Williams, because the rythm is fast and invites you to dance.

    It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
    Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
    I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
    With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way

    [Hook:]
    Because I’m happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I’m happy
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I’m happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
    Because I’m happy
    Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

  16. Hi Msr.Haydee its Angel and my favorite song is Numb by Linkin Park, because it has Metaphor, repetition and free verse.

    song lyrics:

    I'm tired of being what you want me to be,
    feeling so faithless,lost under the surface,
    I don't know what you're expecting of me,
    put under the preesure, of waliking in your shoes
    (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    every step that I take is another mistake to you
    (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    I've become so numb,I can't feel you there,
    become so tired, so much more aware,
    I'm becoming this all I want to do,
    Is be more like me and be less like you,
    can't you see that you're smothering me?
    holding too tightly, afraid to lose control,
    cause everything that you thought I would be,
    has fallen apart, rightin front of you,
    (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    every step that I take is another mistake to you,
    (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    and every second I waste is more than I can take!
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
    become so tired, so much more aware,
    I'm becoming this all I want to do,
    is be more like me and be less like you,
    and I know, I may end up failing, too,
    but I know, you were just like me,
    when someone disappointed in you,
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
    become so tired, so much more aware,
    I'm becoming this all I want to do,
    is be more like me and be less like you,
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
    (tired of being what you want me to be)
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
    (tired of being what you want me to be)
    ...
