DeleteQuestions:
ReplyDeleteWhat does the line Happiness can lift your spirits mean?
What 2 lines from the poem have the same meaning?
I think the line Happiness can lift your spirits means that when you may be feeling down or like the world is about to end but there is always somebody to lift your spirits, and there is always something joyful to think about. In the poem there are 2 lines that mean the same thing and those 2 lines are, “ Make a smile from a frown” and “Bring enjoyment out of sorrow”. I think that these two lines have the same meaning because they both are telling you that you can make any moment into a memory and when you are feeling sad.
I agree! When you make connections like this, be sure to use the same thinking. For example, did the two lines you selected mean that someone or something can lift your spirit? Instead of turning the moment into a memory, talk about how these lines mean that your spirits can be lifted. :)
DeleteWhat does Happiness can lift your spirits mean? What are 2 other lines from the poem that mean the same thing? Happiness can lift your spirit means that it makes you feel happy when you are in the bad case of the blues, it makes your day happy and it makes those around you feel happy too:). Two other lines that mean the same way are, turns your sadness into joy and Make a smile from a frown. These lines do the same thing to you it makes you feel happy when you were down and it makes your friends feel happy too:)!!! These three lines show me that just the slightest little thing can make you feel happy, these lines turn you sadness into happiness I think that's what this poem is all about.
ReplyDeletePerfect and I agree... happiness is definitely a theme of the poem!
DeleteHappiness can lift your spirits means to always stay happy. The 2 phrases that mean the same thing are “Turn your sadness to joy” and “Make a smile from a frown.” They mean the same thing because they both mean turn sadness to happiness.

ReplyDeleteI agree that all these lines relate to the idea of having happiness a part of your life, but be careful when you copy lines... you said to make a smile to a frown and no one likes that!! ;)
DeleteHappiness can lift you spirt means when your not happy it will make your spirt happy.Two phrases that mean the same thing is turn your sadness into joy and lifts you up when you are down.

I agree and I couldn't have asked for a better response. Keep up the great work!
DeleteIn the poem Keep Smiling the phrase “Happiness can lift your spirits” means that happiness can happen anytime and it can make your spirits very happy as well. :)) 🍭 Whenever you are happy and joyful to someone else it will keep going on and on. Happiness can happen anytime and anywhere. And the two lines that have the same meaning are “turn your sadness into joy!” And “Make a smile from a frown!” They have the same meaning because on the first line it says “Turn your sadness into joy.” That means that when you're feeling down just turn your frown upside down. And on the second line it means the same thing just turn your frown upside down and look on the bright side. Because the grass is always greener on the other side!
ReplyDeleteHmm... is it? We like to think the grass is always greener, but often that is only what we think! I completely agree with your thinking though and I really like how you completely explained your thinking. Keep up the great work!
DeleteThe line Happiness can lift your spirits means happiness can make you feel positive and think positive. I think this because if you are sad and something happy happens then you won't be sad any more . Another reason i think the line happiness can lift your spirits means happiness can make you feel positive and think positive is because in the poem it says "and turn your sadness into joy". The last reason i think the line Happiness can lift your spirits means happiness can make you feel positive and think positive is because in the poem it says "and lifts you up when you are down"

DeleteHappiness can lift your sprits means that you should always have a positive feeling and have a happy spirit.

ReplyDeleteHappiness can lift your spirit, means happiness is always going to make you happy. My first piece of text evidence is "Make a smile from a frown." That shows that it can make a enjoyable person when you aren't very happy. My second piece is "It brings a burst of gentle laughter." It shows that it makes you laugh when you have a frown on your face. The third piece is "And lifts you up when you are down." It sows that it makes you smile when you're sad. All these reasons show that happiness can lift your spirits, means that happiness will always keep you happy and excited.
ReplyDeleteTwo lines from the text that mean the same things are, "Make a smile from a frown." Also, it says "And lifts you up when you are down." They both mean that Happiness will pick you up when you are sad and mad. So that shows that they have the same meaning.

Delete"Happiness can lift your spirits" means that when you are feeling sad or down, when you release your happiness from you, things start to get better and happier for you. And you will think maybe things aren't so bad after all! My first piece of text evidence is when it says "Keep happiness close until your end" because it tells me that happiness is always there and you have to make the best of it. My second piece of text evidence is when it says "Make a smile from a frown" because that tells me that when things aren't the way you expected they would be, you can make them better by putting a smile on your face. My third piece of evidence is when it says "Happiness is something special" because that tells me that happiness is something that is always close to you and only you can use it to make things positive. In conclusion, happiness is something that is always there to make things better.
ReplyDeleteThe two lines that mean the same thing are "And turn your sadness into joy" and "Make a smile from a frown" because they both mean negative can turn into positive no matter what!
