Rhyme Scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg Similies: None Metaphors: The Sun is compared to be the “eye of heaven” Imagery: Sound: “Rough winds shake the darling buds” give a sense of sound because they can be heard. Taste: This sonnet does not express the sense of taste. Smell: “The summer day is lovely and temperate” which can be a lovely smell or temperate smell given from the summer day. Sight: “Rough winds do shake the darling buds” one can imagine seeing the buds shaking. “Sometimes to hot the eye of heaven shines” one can see the shining of the “eye of heaven.” “Gold complexion dimmed” a complexion is something that is seen, which gives a sense of sight. Touch: “Sometimes to hot the eye of heaven shines” heat is something that is felt which is a sense of touch. Personification: “Rough winds do not shake.” “Nor shall Death brag.” 1. The basic comparison that is made in this poem is a woman to summer, and the beauty and loveliness of each. 2. Words I would use to describe the person being addressed are lovely and beautiful because Shakespeare compares this person to the beauty of summer and its loveliness and goldness, and the shine of the bright sun of summer. Rhyme Scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg Similies: None Metaphors: Love is being compared to many things in this sonnet, like fractured bone and meat, drink and blood, etc. Imagery: Sound: “Roof against the rain” creates a sound when rain hits the roof. Taste: “Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink,” meat and drink are things to be tasted. Smell: None. Sight: None. Touch: “And rise and sink and rise and sink again,” sense of touch cause you can feel yourself rising and sinking. “Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone” creates a feeling of breaking and blood, awkward feeling. Personification: “…friends with Death,” death is inanimate therefore can not have a human like quality like a friend.  1. The lines I found most memorable were lines 5-8 because they painted the most vivid picture in my mind, or used a lot of imagery. 2. In my opinion the thing these details all have in common is that they are all real things you can touch and feel, but love is something a person cannot experience those things with. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">4. The speaker’s overall opinion of love is kind of negative because the speaker is generally just saying everything that love is not which sort of brings a negative image to it. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">5. I do think that Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 and Millay’s Sonnet 30 follow the same structure because they use the same rhyme scheme and have the same amount of lines. They also both use imagery and personification, etc. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">6. I think these poems do convey attitudes about love that are still present to day because people still feel things like this about love and how it affects people and there emotions and lives. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">
