Limericks and haiku's have some qualities that they share but these two forms of poetry are very different. Haiku's are a from of traditional Japanese poetry, unlike Limerick's origin which is unknown. They are both similar though because each of these forms of poetry have evolved throughout the years and can be used to express, most commonly, feeling towards nature. A haiku's format is much different then any type of poetry, it consists of 3 lines, the firs and last lines of a haiku's only have 5 syllables while the middles line has seven, they generally do not rhyme. Limericks format consist of 5 lines and his usually humorous, <span>The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. These two forms are similar in another way, as you can see both of the forms consist of a specific amount of syllables in their lines, although they do not have the same amount needed. Limericks and Haiku are all forms of poetry but poetry is very diverse and similar at the same time!

Grey is the basic color tone that rules the whole novel. It symbolizes decadence, bleakness, corruption and disillusionment and represents moral decay, spiritual emptiness and death. The valley of ashes is a grey place where everything is colored grey.
This is an excerpt from the Diary of Anne Frank.
Explanation:
- Anne Frank's frustrations come from her perception of others and their lack of foresight.
- Anne does not have a friend and names her diary "Kitty" so that she can feel like she is sharing her concerns with her best friend.
- Anne does not feel as if she "fits in" with her own family, particularly her mother and sister, Margot. In her diary, she complains that she feels herself "drifting further away" from them. Her father had more concern for her.
