Donne's Sonnets

After those songs of varying length and structure, Donne began to formulate his sonnets. While these sonnets may have forced rhymes, the structure and rhyme scheme are quite consistent, just as his rhapsodizing ideology regarding death, the soul, and faith retains precedence in his works. 

Homework tonight is to complete the Donne box prompt. Treat this assignment as the middle ground between an outline and an essay. You will compose a thorough thesis answering the prompt, sections for the literary element and its usage, columns for evidence with citations (you have poem titles and line numbers available), boxes for full analysis, and concluding statement. Use your literary terms and diction precisely and engage with the Songs & The Sonnets to procure your ultimate Donne analysis.

Tomorrow we will be Donne.
