Narrative and Lyric Poetry
Poetry has been around for centuries. Most often poetry is used when someone is down or when someone wants to show his or her love to someone else. Poetry is basically language condensed for artistic effect. Two types of poetry are narrative poetry and lyric poetry. Narrative poetry tells a story, a particular event, or happening, it often relates to a long story. Lyric poetry is any fairly short poem in which the speaker expresses intense personal emotion or state of mind.

Narrative and lyric poetry may seem like they are similar, but there is a big difference between the two. An example for narrative poetry is the poem Confession by Bruce Lansky. In the poem he confesses about what he has done wrong. An example for lyric poetry is the song Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. In the song,Vanessa sings about her feelings about how much she needs and misses the person she states as ‘you’.

The poem Confession by Bruce Lansky is a narrative poem because he tells his story about what he did do instead of what he was supposed to do. He starts out by saying “I have a brief confession that I would like to make.” By reading this first line the reader automatically can assume that this will be a narrative poem. As the poem goes own he tells about everything he did that day. This is a narrative poem because he tells about his life and everything he did.

The song Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton is a lyric poem. In Vanessa’s song she pours out her emotions over the person she sings about. Vanessa’s feelings are expressed by the lines “ And I need you, and I miss you...”. This here explains how much she misses this person. Vanessa also talks about how she would even walk a thousand miles to see this person. From this it is understood that this song Thousand Miles is a lyric poem because Vanessa expresses her feelings over her love.

Narrative poetry tells a story just like the poem Confession by Bruce Linsky, thats why this poem is a type of narrative poetry. Lyric poetry expresses emotional feelings, and so the song Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton is a type lyric poetry. Poetry is a beautiful form of language and is used everyday to give someone a smile or even shed a tear.

50 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<em>hey there,</em>

*You never provided a passage set, so I will just write what I think about this, personally, and I cannot include any evidence from sources, since you didn't give any here.

Also, it says "no plagiarism, I will know" so please don't copy this exactly but instead use the <em>ideas</em> I have provided in what I wrote.*

I think that having competitive team sports in high schools is a good thing. Competitive team sports have shown for a long time to be good for students. First, high schoolers will be able to experience what it's like to be on a team and get to socialize or make new friends. Second, students get to compete for awards and pride from their school, which makes a lot of kids happy. Last, sports provide a lot of exercises which is very important during your teenage years.

Being on a team is something to cherish for a long time. A lot of students already have many great friends, but there is always space for new people to add to your life. Talking to people is proven to make you happier and sometimes even do better in school. Losing or winning together as a team is much funner than alone. Practicing together daily or weekly lets you spend more time with them. Even hanging out outside of school will be a memory you will never forget.

Continuing on, competing is something kids have always loved. Whether it is a beauty pageant or a baseball game, winning always makes you feel good. Some kids have rows of medals and trophies in their rooms, and winning more with their team in high school will add to their collection. Years later, high school students will look back and see the memories brought from each trophy and remember each game, including how they won, and what made them happy. The school they go to will add their trophies and hang up posters, sometimes, to show respect for the winner of games.

Lastly, playing sports is something that should always be done. The more you do sports, the better you feel in general. Developing healthy habits at a young age is extremely important. It's much more exciting to get your physical education while doing something you love. Doing a quick stretch or a few jumping jacks before every game will get your body moving and your heart racing. It has been proven to help with mental problems of teenagers and helps students do better in school.

To sum up, doing competitive sports in high school is something that should always be done because of the great benefits you get like being on a team, winning medals, and getting good exercise. Those were my reasons why all high schools should be providing competitive team sports.
