Post for Thursday, Nov. 8= extra credit

On Thursday, November 8, we will back track a bit and return to our discussion of the sonnet. Thus far we have read three sonnets: William Shakespeare's "Let me not to the marriage of true minds" (also known as Sonnet 116), Edna St. Vincent Millay's "What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why", and Weldon Kees' "For My Daughter."

Since you have already posted your thoughts about all these poems, this Thursday's post will count as extra credit (i.e. if you missed a post in the past, this will make up for it).
For this post, please choose ONE of the following three options:

A.) Go to one of these poetry websites- http://www.poets.org/ , http://www.poetryfoundation.org/- or to Google, and read the biography of one of the poets whose sonnet we have read. Then in a paragraph (no longer than 6 sentences) explain whether the biography of the poet is in any way related to the poet’s sonnet we have read.

B.)Choose either Millay's sonnet or Kees' sonnet, and explain in a paragraph (no longer than 6 sentences) whether the sonnet of your choice is a Shakespearean sonnet (English sonnet) or a Petrarchan sonnet (Italian sonnet), and how does the particular sonnet structure work/help/support the overall point the speaker makes in that sonnet?

C.) Reread one of the three sonnets, as well as what you've posted about it on the class blog few weeks ago. Then find an image which captures your interpretation of the sonnet, and post it on the class blog. Along with the image, in your post, include a brief (no longer than 6 sentences) explanation of how the image reflects your interpretation of the sonnet.
