Just a quick recap of Wednesday's class for second and fourth hours: we had a lot of fun ending the Petrarch sonnets, looking at multiple translations of the same poem and how it informs the tone, imagery, motifs, and thematic presentation, concentrating on persona via Petrarch and Donne's VERY DIFFERENT speakers, reviewing Donne's biographical high and low points, and enjoying Donne's "The Flea" for all of its innuendos and direct salaciousness! At the end of class, you had group time to analyze a song in preparation for Thursday's class.
2 & 4: After our vocab quiz, we returned back to the Songs and looked at all of the literary elements, sound devices, and personas available (thankfully, forced rhyme made an appearance in both classes!). We will finish the songs tomorrow and then move into the sonnets portion.
7: After our vocab quiz, you worked in groups to analyze the Songs and then share with the class. Sonnets will most likely begin tomorrow.
