YOUR CHALLENGE:
Personification:
[definition] a representation of an abstract quality or notion as a human being, especially in art or literature
Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
(in other words...)
you take any object [that is not human] and give it human qualities.
However, you CANNOT make this object you - do not use words like I, me and etc. It's about creating an object into life and emotions without transforming it into yourself.
No line restriction; but remember to keep it concise. Don’t include extraneous details. Focus is key. Also, be creative with the object you choose.
DEADLINE: Wednesday, March 19th. 7PM.
You have all weekend to do this, so this should be enough time. Of course, if there is an exception, contact me and we will work things out.
Good luck!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 22, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: Hello to all,
Overall, this was one of the best rounds yet. There were two of you, in particular, that made a huge comeback - and I applaud you for that. Both of you know who you are. As for the others, good job to all of you - great stuff.
Okay, so let’s get down to it. I’m going to announce results differently, I guess I’m in a suspenseful mood. Haha. I am going to announce from first place, all the way down to the bottom three.
In first place with a total score of 392.3 is…
Catauthor! -Congratulations to you, and to…
Asfand
who came in second place with a total score of 391.6!
In third place…with a total score of 381.4 is
Ah.Sosha! -Congratulations.
We have Olly Olly Oxen Free, Raazi, Rockerchkpoet & SheHasMyHeart left. Only one will be safe from nominated elimination…and that person who is safe, and has come in fourth place [this round] with a score of 378.3 is…
Olly!
-Congrats, you’re safe!
Therefore, our bottom three contestants are: Raazi, Rockerchkpoet & SheHasMyHeart. But I can release one of them to safety, and that person, who has a better track-record, and is safe is…
Raazi.
-Congratulations bro, you’re safe.
Our bottom two: Rockerchkpoet and SheHasMyHeart. Both of you have been neck and neck throughout the competition. It could easily be argued that both of you are the two most improved poets of this season. While SheHasMyHeart accomplished to come in 2nd place in round six, Rockerchkpoet came in 1st place the very next round. SheHasMyHeart came in 5th place this round, but Rockerchkpoet has come in last - will that send Rockerchkpoet to the jury panel, or did her accomplishments in the past save her?
The next person eliminated from Teen Idol 7, and the second member of our jury is…
..
…….
….
SheHasMyHeart,
you have been eliminated from the contest.
You have done a great job overall - but the past came back to haunt you - however, you have had some awesome moments in the contest, and you have definitely improved tremendously. Win or lose the contest itself, you’ve already won, really. I wish you the best of luck outside of this contest…and if you’re up for some more then check out Teen Idol 8: Underdogs vs. Newbies. Maybe or maybe not see you there? Either way, like I said, good luck. :]
Rockerchkpoet, just by 4 points - which is very close - you are safe from elimination, and will be advancing to the top 6.

now i do believe this is something i can do
-
-
I have a good feeling you will do well this round; no matter where you place.
-
-
Ahh this one I like a little more!
-
-
-
oh, i tried to this once. i flunked. i never get it. i think i'll read some personification poems to see this one.
does anybody have one pre-written! -
-
This is just a part of a poem I wrote. I'm personifying a star to my ex girlfriend.
II. Nova
In the darkness
there was a star in the sky
among thousands,
but there was one
with a hazel gleam in her eyes,
blue; yet her lips were all smiles-
this was you,
only in a different element.
Enchanted by the simplicity,
I fell not only into love;
but I fell into you,
who was self-centered-
and like an implosion,
you evolved into a black hole;
in which I disappeared,
then reappeared
in the field four months later.
Although light is light,
there’s a line between
blue and white;
the cyanide burned,
so I lied single
in the bed of sunflowers-
while remembering the past-
and questioning constellations
of what I did wrong.
-------------
hope that helps.

I have a pre written one, here is the link if you want to check it out.

I have issues with telling the difference between metaphors and personifications. Can you help a bit?
-
-
-
Muhahahaha you shall write to please me now, instead of writing to destroy me with your greatness.
-
-
-
hopefully you won't be too harsh? *smiles sweetly*
-
-
Of course I won't!!! I just like to sound threatening and intimidating. But I've been where you all are quite recently so I shall be the voice of the competitors!!! Hahaha but yeah, I shall be fair.
-
-
-

-
-
Don't wait until Tuesday to start writing it. lol

-

I think the thing Ive chosen to personify is rubbish though so I may have to go back to the drawing board. -
-
Ah..well, whatever happens, good luck.
-
-
Ta very much x
-
-

-
I wish I had an excuse for the lack of progress on my poem but I don't...just a bit busy at the moment, I have an english essay for tomorrow (as of yet unwritten) and it is my parents anniversary on Sunday so I am sorting out something for them which is taking up a bit of time.
Oh I will be away from Thursday to Saturday just to let you know x -

I...I...I'd like to thank the Academy...
Gosh, I've planned out a speech in case I win an Academy Award (I have never acted in my life), but I don't have anything impressive to say for round 8 of Teen Idol.
So...thanks! A lot!
Like, a bajillion lot.
S'mores for everybody! -
*hyperventalates and dies*
