A New Mayor for Brookside
Citizens of Brookside have many choices to make in the upcoming election. However, no ballot measure is more important than whom we select as our next mayor.
Although we have two qualified candidates to vote for, we believe that Rochelle Jackson has proven herself to be a stronger candidate than Suzette Muñez. During her eight years as a city council member, Ms.
Jackson fought for tax cuts that resulted in an 18% growth in local business. She also managed the development of our new regional airport and sponsored three new after school programs for Brookside's youth. The
new laws proposed by Ms. Jackson have brought about a 31% drop in crime over the last five years.
While Ms. Muñez has an impressive track record as a large business owner, we feel that she lacks the public service experience needed to serve as mayor of Brookside. We fear her decisions would better serve
big business and not the needs of our citizens and local businesses.
We at the Brookside Gazette strongly urge you to elect Rochelle Jackson as the next mayor of Brookside.

" keyn asked. tablin looked around the dirt courtyard. he tried to peer through the shadowy arches of the flowing barrel. he even twisted in his saddle to look across the merchant's bazaar, past tents and warehouses filled with goods. "i don't know," he said. "did you leave it in your mouth? it's the only place i can think of that's big enough." keyn laughed; something got stuck in his throat half way, and he coughed for breath. "i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."

Follow the directions (and example) given to create your own sonnet. william shakespeare's sonnet 130 my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, coral is far more red, than her lips red, if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun: if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head: i have seen roses damasked, red and white, but no such roses see i in her cheeks, and in some perfumes is there more delight, than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. i love to hear her speak, yet well i know, that music hath a far more pleasing sound: i grant i never saw a goddess go, my mistress when she walks treads on the ground. and yet by heaven i think my love as rare, as any she belied with false compare. instructions: write fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. use a sonnet rhyme scheme. use the first eight lines to set up your idea (the octave). use the last six lines to conclude your idea (sestet). (variety may be added by including a substitute foot from time to time such as the two anapests in line 3 above.) work in small groups giving each other feedback. reading the sonnet aloud allows you to hear the words and rhythms of the lines. generate questions that will clarify the use of words and forms. for example: was the idea of the sonnet presented in the first eight lines? how was sound used to enhance the meaning of the sonnet?
