I can't stand it. I just had too much fun thinking of what to write for my cinquain for English class. A cinquain is a strict, word-limiting poem describing a noun. The first line is the item, the second line is two adjectives describing it, the third line is three gerunds or present participles (-ing words) that describe the item's actions, the forth is a short four word phrase pertaining to the item, and the fifth line is one alternate word for the item that sums it up. Here's mine.
Wii
Interactive Childish
Annoying Gaming Flailing
Do a Barrel Roll
Nintendo

My teacher seemed quite a bit disappointed with my poem. Her response was "...Okay...and I really liked the Wii." I think she misunderstood my position. I love the Wii. I'd choose it over the Xbox 360 any day of the week, even Tuesday. What I was getting at was just the fact that you don't normally see anyone over 30 flailing his or her arms like a lunatic, and then calling that having a good time. I dunno, maybe it only seems immature to me. I don't have a problem doing it, but I'm pretty sure most of the adult world would see it as "childish" like I said. I think my teacher sees the words "childish" and "annoying" as much worse than they actually are. I'm just sayin'...maybe less arm flailing and more sword slashing would be nice, eh Nintendo?

For my English teacher, if you have found this online through some sort of plagiarism checker, I will identify this as mine. Just ask me.
