Shackled hands, shackled feet, shackled mind
Seeing and hearing the world
But never able to experience it.
The shadows speak to me
The voices of the free
Echoes bounce off the empty walls
Making my mind curious.
The faint light burns my eyes
The dank cave is my hell
It has consumed my entire being
Without escape my life will be over.
My trapped body and mind
A soul will never find.
Good job Rachel! I like your sonnet. I like how you said " shackled mind" it covers Plato's meaning well.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog. It is very girly and creative. Please comment on my sonnet. I need more! http://kvillarhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/
I loved your Shakespearean Sonnet, it created the imagery of a prisoner in dark solitary then when the food slot opens it shines light through and burns the prisoners eyes causing him/her to tear up. Great work Rachel!
ReplyDeleteResponding to your question "How do you plan to study for the vocab final?", I will dedicate myself to learning one vocabulary list every one and a half days so by the time finals come I will be prepared. I usually just print out the word and definitions then fold definition so I can only see the vocals.
DeleteVery nice Rachel! You did a good job conveying the allegory in your sonnet. Your blog represents you in a good way ;) I love the font on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat sonnet Rachel! Every word painted a picture in my mind that made the allegory even clearer than it was before! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog as well! Your blog is so easy to read and easy to understand! How will you be studying for the final? Check my blog out! http://lvalenzuelarhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/
I really like your sonnet! It reminds me of Imagism, with simple words creating a very clear and vivid picture in the reader's mind. Very nice :) however, I'm not sure if it exactly fits the definition of a sonnet because I can't pick out a specific rhyme scheme, besides the rhyming couplet at the end. I wrote about the different types of rhyming patterns on my blog, if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteMy question for you is, how are you going to choose what to do for your final presentation?

Rachel! I liked how you wrote your sonnet like you were one of the prisoners. I do agree with Lisa that it doesn't have an exact sonnet form but I still liked it (:
ReplyDeleteI invited you to read and comment "THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX" on my blog.
