Blog Assignment Part Deux!


 Instructions:
          Write a thesis-based argument (of at least 300 words) in which you advocate for your favorite sonnet from Chapter 19 (1022-1035).[Yes, our reading says 1022-1031 & 1035, but I figure this will give you more options to chose from...plus it is only like 5 more poems]

           In addition to explaining why you believe this sonnet is notable, you should describe the ways in which it adheres to (or varies from) the basic Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnet structures, explain the rhyme scheme of your chosen sonnet, and discuss the sonnet's use of figurative language.

As always, don't forget to make comments on the blogs of at least two other students.


Your blog and comments are due by 8 pm on Thursday (12/6).

P.S. Here is the link to the a copy of the rubric for your blog reactions and responses. Please look over it so you are aware of what it is I am now looking for; this includes responses.
