Shakspeare Sonnet 7... Wait, what?
The first time I read the sonnet all I could see were a bunch a words on an a4 sheet of paper, but the second time I read I started to let my imagination run wild, I started to make connections of what each line could mean. I knew that old poets always complicated simple things, but I found that very interesting. At first I thought of a handsome man, then I realized that it might actually be talking about the sun, because of the way it says “Lifts up his burning head, each under eye”. If once you get the idea of the sun rising and setting then the connections between the sun and the lines in the sonnet are visible and make sense. By seeing the performances we are going to have tomorrow in humanities class might change my thinking and show me what others saw through their eyes and thought using of course their brains.

I had the exact same thoughts as you. First I thought it was some man but after Mr.Mcqueen stoped talking I was able to talk to the people at my table. Dakshina convinced us all that it was the sun, it was the most reasonable answer.
Wow. It's awesome how great minds think alike Mitsu! I thought the same thing! hehe. Just kidding.
But I did have the same thoughts that you wrote.
When I first looked at the paper, all I saw was old English and some words that I've never heard of, but after I read it a lot of times over and over again, I've had the same thoughts that you had.
Very nice connections. They all make sense. :).
It seems like everybody in our class thinks it's the sun rising.
Great job! :D
Okay, Mitsu. I like reading the development of your thoughts. I'm sure they'll either change or solidify after today's class.
