Creating my own sonnet!


Today my teacher gave a us packet explaining stressed and unstressed variables along with a paper to create our own sonnet. My first thought was “wow  this is going to be great”. However, as I moved forward in starting my sonnet I realized that it was quite difficult. The most confusing part in creating the sonnet was following the pattern for the unstressed and stressed syllables. Therefore I kept working on it and finally created a sonnet that I am proud of.

I tried my best to analyze the poem on my own and I got very far but with the help of my teacher and classmates I understood it even more. I’m glad that my teacher introduced this author and this specific poem to me because I really enjoyed reading and analyzing it.

I didn’t like that Tante Lou made Grant go and talk to Henri pichot against his will not knowing Louis Rougon would accuse him of making Miss Emma and Tante Lou come and talk to Henri about Jefferson. From reading chapter 3 I implied that the lesson of the book would be being acknowledge for what you truly are. In Jefferson’s case a man.

Mirror

Today we read a poem called “Mirror” by Sylvia Plath. The poem is about self perception and disbelief.  After we got done reading the poem my instructor gave us an assignment. The assignment was to look in our camera and write down what we see in our reflection. Here’s what I wrote.   When I look in the mirror I see a beautiful black Queen with pretty succulent lips and a nice smile. I see a hound lady who doesn’t takes any mess from anyone, a young lady who will soon be powerful and beyond successful in everything that she does. I see a fierce young lady who has no flaws.
