Sonnet 18 Rhyme: ABAB Similes: None Metaphors: None Imagery: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, too hot the eye of heaven shines Personification: Death brag, Wind shaking, the possession of being fair, eternal time growing 1. The basic comparison made in this poem is a woman to a summer’s day. 2. I would say that the speaker’s lusts for whomever it is, because most of the compliments are physical. Like her beauty will never fade like the short lived summer.

Sonnet 30 Rhyme: ABAB Similes: None Metaphor: None Imagery: “a floating spar to men that sink and rise and sink and rise and sink again. . .”, “pinned down by pain and moaning for release” Personification: Man is making friends with death 1. Line 14 is the most memorable to me because it is not only the last line, but it’s also a change of pace. The entire piece is about negative feelings and things people do when under love’s spell and then the end is when the author says that they would never do any of those things. 2. What these details have in common is negativity; people being in pain, people forgetting love, starving for it. The majority of the details are things that people want, also, like food. 4. I think the speaker’s overall opinion of love is that it is often taken for granted, but they feel that their love is true. 5. I think they follow the same structure because they both have an ABAB rhyme structure and they both leave a good feeling in the end. 6. Yes, I still think that these feelings are conveyed today because they’re personal opinions about what they think love is and other people think similarly.

There is almost nothing unique about a heart. It can be replaced with another, Physically torn apart It won’t appease your mother When you’re being smart But it does have one thing special That none other can compare; When two hearts mesh well And show each other they care, The roof above your head, The food on your plate, And the blanket with you in bed Could never relate To the butterflies in your stomach when that heart smiles Or life’s now happy road ahead that will last for miles and miles.
