Shackles and chains keep us here
staying here forever without a care
we see the light but won't go near
for we are prisoners and cannot bare
the tangles and struggles of common things
the free come and speak
content with life we don't hear the rings
and we don't listen because we are to weak
but something changed
for now we see
the ways the freed have managed
and we too want to be free
knowledge is all the power you need
so just take the lead

Kristen! Your sonnet was definitely a sonnet and it was easily understood. So even if someone didn't really know what the allegory was, they would get a pretty clear picture of the theme. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI like how bright and happy your blog is too!

ReplyDeleteKristen to answer your question I am planning to study for the final by overviewing my notes and everything on my blog. As for the voc. I will keep using my flash cards. And yes a study group, we shall do! For math and this class! :) Thanks for asking.

DeleteWow Kristen, this was very well written and you showed your comprehension of what a sonnet is and how to create one.
ReplyDeleteKristen! Your sonnet is nicely written (: I really like the line "Knowledge is all the power you need so just take the lead." Good work!
ReplyDeleteI like your colorful background! It's quite appealing (: I plan on using flashcards to study for the final. How do you plan on studying for the vocabulary final?

well done, I like how the beginning of both the first and second stanza both contain imagery of the allegory.

ReplyDeleteso just take the lead"
My favorite two lines from your sonnet. You did such a great job tackling the theme of the allegory, within just two short lines, which makes the rest of your sonnet so much more beneficial for both people who know the allegory, and for those who don't.
I agree with the people that went before me!
ReplyDelete"knowledge is all the power you need
so just take the lead" that is a really good quote!
Nice sonnet Kristen! I like your use of the pronoun "we". It really brings the sonnet into focus with regard to our individual lives.
