Magic in the Moment:
A Paragraph on Enchantment
There is a fleeting (FAST) and undefined time in each of our lives when magic is undeniably present. For most, this part of life occurs early on. Magic blesses us when we are young, bright-eyed and beautiful as we wrap our minds around the earth and all of its wonders. It is a time of endless possibilities and faraway lands, of Santa Claus and fairy tales. As we grow, magic fades. Intrigue (FAST) begins to die, and we develop boundaries to a once endless world of imagination. In a sense, we trade magic for knowledge, for as we grow older, we learn things that disprove the tooth fairy and Harry Potter. We exchange the magic of the unknown for concrete facts, and perhaps this is what destroys the blissful beliefs that we hold as children. However, there is some magic that remains eternal. It is magical to walk outside on the first day of spring, breathing in sweet warm air after an icy winter. It is magical to laugh with all your might, oblivious to the tears of joy that stream down your face like summer rain. It is magical to fall asleep and enter a dream that is all your own. (Anaphora- "It is magical") I am magical and you are magical. Never let that magic die.
Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:
Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)
Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.
