The Songs

We were all singing Donne today -- and every persona that he introduces through "The Flea" to "The Paradox." As noted, Donne loves the conceit, the motif, the repetition of phrasing, the obvious forced rhyming. The partner/group analysis today was for participation.

Meanwhile, your third book card was due today, and for homework you have a box prompt on Petrarch and Donne's literary devices. As this requires only 1 literary device, you may have only 2 body boxes completed for this assignment.

Tomorrow is the sonnet side of the equation, and I need to find the poetry packet so we can study all the stanzas, meters, and types.
