My Favorite Subject Is English Language Art because I'm good at reading and writing. I am influence by ELA when reading books because the authors grasp the reader to want to learn more and understand whats happening in the book.

I like ELA because you can use different forms of writing to express your ideas. For example poems is a form of writing in which you use to express your thoughts or feelings like this :

What Is Poetry?
Poetry is a form of writing where people are able to express there feelings in words. Poetry is also away of getting over your fears and frustration. Forexample : There are as many definitions of poetry as there are poets. Wordsworth defined poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings;" Emily Dickinson said, "If I read a book and it makes my body so cold no fire ever can warm me, I know that is poetry;" and Dylan Thomas defined poetry this way: "Poetry is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn, what makes my toenails twinkle, what makes me want to do this or that or nothing."Poetry is a lot of things to a lot of people.
Within You Is The Strength
To Meet Life's Challenges!
You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

They also explained other questions that are now answered through modern science.

Example :
- The Ghost Pilots of Times Square
He had just graduated from Harvard University and was living in Manhattan. He loved the city and was beginning to feel at home on its streets. World War II was raging in Europe, and like all other good citizens, he followed the headlines daily and did his part for the boys overseas. Hugging his jacket close, he stood shivering at the corner, waiting for the light to change and wondering where his enlisted friends might be staying on that cold winter night..
