This website was really easy to navigate, all the colors were in sync and well put together, the website was simple yet great and the theme went with the whole site.
1.) a. Eryn's "The Mask" because the Figurative Language of the entire poem being a metaphor was very specific.
b. Brooke's "Nature" because since the poem was about how people don't appreciate nature, her pictures of nature show that you should, since your surrounded by many Nature.
c. Lina's "Dream by Miley Cyrus" because since her theme was dream, it went really well with her pictures and other information.
d. Rachel's "See me grow up" because since her theme was growing up, her specific prose piece has really come together and matched.
e. Adara's "Family" because I felt that her description of her analysis was really good, although it was short it had a big meaning, and it was understandable.
2.) Maurice's his theme of "Memories" had already stood out because seeing that we just ended school and the page where there were memorable pictures were just so touching, from the beginning of the year to meeting people, working with them, and having the year end is very sad. The pictures of his website, colors and everything was really great.

1b. Branden's poem "Time To Come" fits well with his website's theme which was about time.
1c. I chose Rachel's song "Skyscraper" because it relates to her theme which was about self acceptance. In this case, Demi Lovato is accepting herself the way she is.

1e. Lina's poem called "The Dream Called Life" helped me understand the poem more better.

1)
A. Adara's analysis on "Your Clothes" because it clearly explained every part of the 5 step process in detail and the main idea pulled together the whole poem.
B. Brooke's first poem "Nature". Not only the fact that the title is the same, but because the poem conveys the same positive expression of how valuable and beautiful the world around us is as her theme does.
C. Rachel's song "Skyscraper" because I felt that this song did a really good job at expressing the experience of growing up and getting stronger and wiser, and realizing that nothing can/should bring you down.
D. I picked Taylor's second prose piece "When Opportunity Knocks" because it was a entertaining and sweet story that really conveyed the message that you need to take chances and take risks and not be afraid.
2. This one would have to be to Dustin, because the animation before you enter the website is really eye catching. Also, it matches the theme, because you really can't *not* be happy with those little birds flying around.
1)
A- Eryn's "A scared little girl" compares how some lines of the poem are metaphors.
B- Maurice's "photograph" matched his theme memories, because when looking back at a photo you can reminisce on all the things that happened in the past.

D- Adara's "Communicating openly with your child" matches her theme of parent and child relations.

2)Dustin's website matched his theme of happiness.
A-I chose Dustin's "How happy is the little stone" because he explained every bit of detail in the poem such as analyzing odd words and metaphors.
B-I chose Rachel's "See me grow up" because it fell perfectly into one of her themes "Growing up". In the poem, it's sort of like a time-lapse structure.
C-I chose Dior's "Stand Up" because her sites theme was "Stand up for what you believe in" and you can tell from the lyrics that its about peoples rights and such.
D-I chose Dustin's website again and the piece that fit well with his site was "Happiness fights disease" because you can tell that not only from the title itself, but also in the article.
E-I chose Eyrn's site and the way she describes ALL the poems made me understand her selected poems a lot more.
