  1. Good Day to You! Only 11 more days to go. The final is around the corner.

  2. Do Now Shakespeare made many comparisons in Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 130. Looking at the words he used, how effective were they in creating a mood, theme, and meaning? Explain your answer.

  3. Information • 11 more days of school • Finals schedule begins next week - senior testing, altered schedules • Journals on board - due tomorrow • Essays are not worth any points - this will harm your grade

  4. All Shakespearean Sonnets… • 14 Lines • Follow a specific rhyming pattern - ABAB CDCD EFEF GG • Have 3 Quatrains and 1 Couplet - match the rhyming pattern • Are written in “Iambic Pentameter” - includes rhyme pattern, and the “Sound” or meter

  5. Sonnet 18 Shall I compare you to a summer day? You're lovelier and milder. Rough winds shake the pretty buds of May, and summer doesn't last nearly long enough. Sometimes the sun shines too hot, and often its golden face is darkened by clouds. And everything beautiful stops being beautiful, either by accident or simply in the course of nature. But your eternal summer will never fade, nor will you lose possession of your beauty, nor shall death brag that you are wandering in the underworld, once you're captured in my eternal verses. As long as men are alive and have eyes with which to see, this poem will live and keep you alive.

  6. Sonnet 18 1. What is the Rhyme Scheme? - ABAB CDCD EFEF GG 2. How do you determine the stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem? - must determine the “meter” 3. What “style” is this written in? - Iambic Pentameter 4. Why are Death, Nature, and Time capitalized in the original sonnet? - they are treated as “real” people

  7. Sonnet 130 My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun. Coral is much redder than the red of her lips. Compared to the whiteness of snow, her breasts are grayish-brown. Poets describe their mistresses' hair as gold wires, but my mistress has black wires growing on her head. I have seen roses that were a mixture of red and white, but I don't see those colors in her cheeks. And some perfumes smell more delightful than my mistress's reeking breath. I love to hear her speak; yet I know perfectly well that music has a far more pleasant sound. I admit I never saw a goddess walk; when my mistress walks, she treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my beloved is as special as any woman whom poets have lied about with false comparisons.

  8. Sonnet 135 Other women may have their little desires, but you have your Will , and another Will as well, and more Will than you need. I, who am constantly pestering you for sex, am more than enough to satisfy you, adding another willing penis to the Will you already have. Since your sexual desires (and vagina) are both so enormous, won't you agree just once to let me put my desire inside yours? Are you going to be attracted to everyone else's will (penis), but reject mine? The sea is entirely made of water, but it still accepts additional water whenever it rains. So you, who already have a William, should in addition to your lover William accept my will (penis), making your sexual appetite (or vagina), which is already huge, even huger. Don't kill an eager seducer by being unkind to him. Treat all your lovers as a single lover, and accept me (and my part) as part of that lover.
