Metaphor- And often is his gold complexion dimmed. Imagery- And often is his gold complexion dimmed. Rough winds to shake the darling buds of may. Personification- Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade. -1- The poem is comparing summer to the intended audience. -2-The author is passionate towards the person being addressed because the poem uses soft words about summer and how lovely it is. He is comparing summer and the person being addressed, and he says “thou art more lovely…too hot the eye of heaven shines…thy eternal summer shall not fade.” abacdedefgfghh Simile- Metapho//r-// // Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink // Imagery- Pinned down by pain and moaning for release Personification- many a man is making friends with death. -1-“Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink” is the most memorable to me because it says that love cannot do everything. It cannot heal you physically like meat or a drink, which are materials; it can only heal you mentally. -2- All of the details that the author uses to explain that love is not all explain just that. The details explain how love can mend your heart, not a sickness or anything physical. The poem explains how nothing in your body can be fixed by love. Love can only fix a person mentally. -4- The author thinks that love is powerful. He would not trade anything for the feeling he gets from love. Though love can not fix everything, it is worth a lot more than that. -5- The two sonnets follow a very similar structure. Both Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 30 are in abab format because they alternate rhymes, with the exception of the last two lines. Also, the two sonnets are based upon love. -6- Everybody has a different view of love, so this could still be the view of some people. This is not the view of love in the media, though, since today’s love is more lust than deep and passionate. From the time I laid my eyes on him The butterflies start to flutter around I thought the chances of meeting someone like him were slim My feet are lifting off of the ground I think about him as if he is inside my brain Every moment with him is one to treasure Every kiss is one in the pouring rain My love for him is too long to measure When I stare at him he stares back There is a deep connection I feel inside The passion between us is not at lack I am enjoying this love ride I look into his eyes and feel like a dove For I know in my heart that we are in love.
