Sonnet #29

Today we finished our work with sonnet 29 with three questions:

1. Look closely at Sonnet 29 and your paraphrase. Where does the meaning shift? What is Shakespeare’s main message or theme in this sonnet.
2. Now look back at Sonnet 18? Where does the meaning shift? What is Shakespeare’s main message or theme in this sonnet.
3. Notice a pattern? What is it?

I collected the work on sonnet 29 and assigned the following homework:

• Read Sonnet 130.
• Label the rhyme scheme, the quatrains and the couplet, and the meter.
• Paraphrase the sonnet.
• What is Shakespeare’s theme in this sonnet?

Due 9/19.
