Today. we reviewed your answers from last class on determining rhyme scheme (iambic pentameter). You then handed these in.
I then gave you a sonnet to read. We reviewed active reading and analysis, and then you had time to work on this. I also gave you multiple choice questions to answer after the analysis portion is complete (don't just jump into the questions, as you must know the poem in order to really "get" the questions).
These are due for Wednesday. If you were not here today, the readings and questions are in your portfolio.
I am pasting the sonnet here as it is available online. However, you will have to come in on Tuesday and get the questions from the portfolio.
Sonnet CXXX
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 delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress
reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That 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.
