I Understand.

__Sonnet 18__ Rhyme Scheme: A B A B Literary Devices: Metaphor- Person being compare to a summer's day. Personification- Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May The eye of heaven shines Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade Imagery- His gold complexion dimmed __Sonnet 30__ Rhyme Scheme: A B A B Literary Devices: Personification: Man makes friends with death Pinned down by pain Nagged by want Imagery: A floating spar to men that sink Fill the thickened lung with breath
 * 1) Shakespeare compares a person to a summer's day.
 * 2) The speaker feels great love for the person addressed. He is saying that no matter how much time passes, she will always be beautiful and he will always love her.
 * 1) Lines 6,7, and 8 stand out the most to me because the author is saying that love cannot stop you from dying, instead it may cause one to end their own life.
 * 2) All the details are physical things like food, or shelter rather than emotional things.
 * 3) The writer thinks that love is not something that will help you survive. Often times it causes someone to kill themselves. And yet, she still would not live without it if she had the choice.
 * 4) Both have the same rhyme scheme and talk about the importance of love.
 * 5) I think their attitudes of love are still common today. We do not need love to survive and it brings a lot of heart ache, but many do not want to live without it.
