__**“Sonnet 18”**__ The “Rhyme Scheme” is the ABAB one Similes: “Shall I compare thee to a summer day?” Metaphors: The whole entire thing is using metaphors because it compares stuff without “like” or “as”. Personification: I couldn’t find any personification in “Sonnet 18”, I’m sorry. __//Imagery//__ Sound - “Rough winds shake the darling buds of May” Taste - N/A Smell - N/A Sight - “But thy eternal summer shall not fade” Touch - I couldn’t really find any phrases for “touch” 1. In “Sonnet 18”, the comparison was a young girl to a summer day. 2. The writer of the selection shows a lot of affection towards the young girl by expressing his feeling from his heart. __**“Sonnet 30”**__ The “Rhyme Scheme” is the ABAB one Similes: N/A Metaphors: I had a tough time finding one. I don’t even know if this is even a metaphor, but “Love cannot fill the lungs without breath”. Personification: “Pinned down by pain” __//Imagery//__ Sound - Taste - N/A Smell - N/A Sight - Touch - 1. In “Sonnet 30”, the line that literally jumped out off the page and got my attention was when it said, 2. The descriptive words from Shakespeare show how the word “love” can help you in life or it could eventually demolish you in the outrun. YAY! WE DON’T DO #3 4. The character Millay’s opinion toward the word “love” is very theoretical and very philosophical. He says that “love” is nothing to mess around with and should not be taken for granted. Once a person finds “love”, they should hang on to it forever. 5. The main theme in both “Sonnet 18” and in “Sonnet 30” is the beautiful theme of love. Of course, “Sonnets” in general are usually dealt with love or romance. Both poems have the first twelve lines rhyme alternatively and the last two just rhyme. 6. I do agree with both “Sonnet 18” and “Sonnet 30” how they show today’s aspect on love by our society. You should never take love for granted or joke around with it, because love can take you along in life as long as you let love in your heart. __**Poem**__ Love can be cool, Love can be cruel. Love can last a long time, Love could even stop on a dime. Love can be shown with affection or by a simple kiss, Love can be described as “oh so bliss”. Love can be the one I love with all my might, Love can be the one I think of when I hold my pillow tight. Love can be broken so treat it with care, Love can be accompanied by a soft teddy bear. Love can be the one I’m thinking of tonight, Love can be the one who I kiss goodnight. Love will eventually make you shed some tears, Love can be the one who comforts up your fears. Love can lift a person into the sky, Love poems such as this one makes you want to cry. Love is not overrated so don’t listen to what they say, Love makes you want to scream, “HIP-HIP-HOORAY!” Love is excellent and should be in everyone’s soul, To find love should be everyone’s life aspiring goal.
