Alexis Woerner Pd.5 Llewelyn Exercise 6 Sonnet 18 Imagery- more lovely and temperate then a summer day. Winds shake darling buds of may. Metaphors- too hot the eye of heaven shines. Gold complexion, this gives life to live. Personification- Death brags. Rhyme- Abab Rhyme- day/may, temperate/date, shines/declines, dimmed/untrimmed, fade/shade, owest/growest, see/me. Question#2 The speaker loves the person and feels the person brings joy as the sun and light. Eternal, summer never fade, more lovely and temperate then a summer’s day. The person makes him feel alive, this gives life to thee. Sonnet 30 Millay Rhyme scheme- abab Rhyme- drink/sink, pain/again, breath/death, bone/alone, hour/power, release/peace, food/would. Metaphors-pinned down by pain, moaning for release, nagged by past resolutions power, driven to sell your love for peace. Trade the memory of this night for food. Imagery- fill thickened lung with breath, floating spar to men that sink, roof against rain, pinned down by pain moaning for release. Personification- nagged by past resolution power, driven to sell your love for peace. Questions 2) love is not meat or drink, roof against rain, floating spar to sunken men, can not clean the blood, set the fractured bone. Not fill lung thicken with breath.  4) The writer doesn’t feel love is as good as proclaimed it cannot fix all problems but in essence most people need it. 5) They do follow the same structure and rhyme scheme and go back to describe their focus.  6) I do feel these sonnets describe love the way most see it today. A lot of people who are in love are happy as Shakespeare, but those with their heart broken see love in a different light such as Millay.
 * 1) 1) The most memorable line- pinned down by pain it puts a bad image in my head. Also love cannot fill thickened lung with breath makes me think this person doesn’t feel love is powerful.
