My world was very different than yours.
Dark shadows were the only things I saw,
Dancing, swirling upon the walls and floors.
Cold shackles constricted my hands and jaw.
Then one day my shackles were loose and plop!
Free was I to stand up and move about.
I saw a hole and decided to drop,
Everything was overwhelming no doubt!
My eyes blind as the sun had just risen.
Puzzling questions formed inside my head;
Should I explore or return to the prison?
But they won't believe even if I plead.
So off I walked in the opposite way,
Praying that everything will be okay.
Love the sonnet!

It fits the definition of a sonnet and I liked it overall especially the rhymes because they kind of reminded me of Dr. Suess
ReplyDeleteyour sonnet is really good! I like your rhymes! my question is how are you gettting prepared for the vocab final. http://mlunarhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI like how you put yourself into the view of the prisoner, nice work
ReplyDeleteHahaha dropping through a hole? I like it. Fits the definition of a sonnet and resembles Dr. Seuss like Jenna pointed out :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the perspective of the prisoner! Your sonnet is well written, and I especially like the onomatopoeia "plop!" It gave the sonnet a lot of character.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, your background of your blog is very pretty, and the font that you title your posts with really complements it. Why do you think Plato told the allegory from the perspective of philosophers describing the prisoners rather than from the perspective of one of the prisoners? Check out my blog here.
I like your sonnet fits the definition.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very nice, all of your post are well written and the background is really cute. (it is the same one I have) As for the final what is your study plan for the vocab portion? here is a link to my blog http://rnolanrhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteI really like how simple looking your blog is. I find it to be very appealing! How do you plan on studying for the vocabulary final?

Amazing Shakespearean Sonnet! Some great iambs and I love the rhymes at the end of each a,b,a,b lines! This is the best one I've read over the member blogs! I enjoyed that you put yourself into the prisoners shoe throughout this sonnet.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is also amazing which shows me how much you put into your work! How do you plan on studying for the finals?

What a refreshing sonnet. It seemed so sweet and open, like a happy child's story. And backed against your pink blog, it was even more inviting. Your figurative language was very upbeat and positive, especially the "..shackles were loose and I went plop!" I liked that. It wasn't as dark as Allegory of the Cave seemed to be.
ReplyDeleteIt also followed a perfect shakespearean rhyme scheme so yaayy!
Your blog is very positive and inviting. It makes the reader happy to be here.

I love the layout of your blog! It's very fun and positive!
ReplyDeleteSo, what book did your group choose for the literary circle assignment and why?
http://mklusendorfrhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com
I love the imagery you used, especially in the first quatrain. Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, in response to your comment, I recommend writing stories for each vocab list, because it allows the words to be placed in a larger, more memorable context than writing each in an isolated sentence. If you want to read mine, you can check them out here. My question for you is, how are you going to choose what to do for your final presentation?
