Tim's Poem on Candles and his Life

The object Tim recieved to do his project on was a candle. Tim did a fantabulous, fantastical job on the writing of his poem. One thing he did very well was to relate the lifespan of a candle to the lifespan of himself. In the adolescent stage where the fire rages, and when you die you get snuffed out, just like a candle. Both the life of a candle and a human being can be ended easily and abruptly. There are also many other things that he did well in his poem such as using good imagery. For instance, the line, "The passion and wavering desires of my teenage flame burns brightly and out of control; it becomes an all-consuming vortex of fire that destroys and eradicates.", has many strong, descriptive words in it to help create images in your head. Something that stood out (and I think deserves mention) is the use of a real candle in his presentation. Once lit, it not only created a pleasant fragrance, but more importantly it helped to reinforce his idea that life could be ended abruptly when he blew out the candle. As you clearly saw on presentation day, Tim did a fantastic job on this project and I hope that I haven't missed any of all the wonderful things he did well on it.
