  1. English Literature II BELLRINGERS Period 7

  2. Entry #1 • Copy the following sonnet into your notebook and label any literary devices that you can identify. • William Shakespeare – Sonnet 29 When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

  3. Entry #2 • Work with a partner or by yourself. Translate this sonnet into modern English. Have fun but keep it appropriate! If you’re working in a pair make sure you both write down your translation. • William Shakespeare – Sonnet 130 My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;Coral is far more red than her lips' red;If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delightThan in the breath that from my mistress reeks.I love to hear her speak, yet well I knowThat music hath a far more pleasing sound;I grant I never saw a goddess go;My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.

  4. Entry #3 • Who is this man and what’s going through his head? Give the man in this portrait a name and create a story. You can write about… - what he’s thinking - dialogue occurring between him and the artist - his plans after he has his portrait painted
