3. Work on Sonnet analysis sheet in groups of 3-4- complete questions 1-7, but do question #2 LAST
1. Mark the rhyme scheme of the sonnet. This is dictated by the last word of each line. The first word is marked with an A. If the last word of the second line rhymes with the last word of the first line, it too is marked with an A. If it does not rhyme, however, it is marked with a B. Example: Roses are red, A Violets are blue; B Sugar is sweet, C And so are you. B 2. To the right of each line and on the blanks provided, write down what you think the line means. Put the lines in your own words. 3. Find one metaphor in the sonnet. Place a box around the metaphor. 4. Find one simile. Place a circle around the simile. 5. Sonnets have something called a turn. It’s where the author’s tone or meaning or topic seems to change a little. Where do you think the turn begins? Where in this sonnet does Shakespeare seem to change gears? (Hint: the turn usually begins the summation or overall meaning/point of the sonnet.
6. Assonance is the repetition of a vowel sound within a line or two lines of poetry.
Example: The cat sat sadly on the mat because he was mad.
Find two examples of assonance in the sonnet. Write the line number and the words containing assonance.  
7. Alliteration is the repetition of a consonant sound within a line or two lines of poetry.
Example: The bad boy brought bugs and put them in the bed. (Note: the letter does not have to be at the beginning of the word.)
Find two examples of alliteration in the sonnet. Write the line number and the words containing alliteration.
8. In your opinion, what point was Shakespeare trying to make in this sonnet?
 9. If you were the recipient of this poem, how would you feel? Why?

4. My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun (Sonnet 130) William Shakespeare
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 damasked, 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.
My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips;
If snow is white, then her breasts are a brownish gray;
If hairs are like wires, hers are black and not golden.
I have seen damask roses, red and white [streaked],
But I do not see such colors in her cheeks;
And some perfumes give more delight
Than the horrid breath of my mistress.
I love to hear her speak, but I know
That music has a more pleasing sound.
I've never seen a goddess walk;
But I know that my mistress walks only on the ground.
And yet I think my love as rare
As any woman who has been misrepresented by ridiculous comparisons

AIM: What is a sonnet? What is the purpose of the prologue of Romeo and Juliet?
DO NOW: Meet with your poetry/sonnet groups to complete response
HOMEWORK: vocabulary unit 3, writing and quiz Friday and lit. circles Friday; study guide Friday; Vocabulary practice sheet due Friday; double entry journal 1/group member paraphrase or quote a passage from the novel and respond due Monday; sonnet assignment due 11/30

6. GROUP WORK
Based on this sonnet format, create a response from the mistress’ point of view. Are you happy? Are you angry? Establish your tone. You want to have longer lines and match the rhyme scheme, but at this point that’s about it (effort).

7. Sonnet Characteristics
A sonnet is simply a poem written in a certain format. You can identify a sonnet if the poem has the following characteristics:
14 lines. All sonnets have 14 lines which can be broken down into four sections called 3 quatrains & 1 couplet A strict rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet is ABAB / CDCD / EFEF / GG (note the four distinct sections in the rhyme scheme).
A rhyming couplet is a set of lines, back to back, that rhyme.
A rhyming quatrain is a set of four lines that follow a rhyme scheme. Example of Quatrain and Couplet
The Hippopotamus
Behold the hippopotamus! We laugh at how he looks to us, And yet in moments dank and grim, I wonder how we look to him. Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus! We really look all right to us, As you no doubt delight the eye Of other hippopotami.
Ogden Nash
