I really enjoyed reading each of the poems in different voices‚ personally‚ I chose voices of a famous actress and or actors causing for a good laugh as well. For Sonnet in Primary Colors‚ I use a Spanish accent‚ as Fredia was a Mexican artist‚ it is not as beautiful as she was but it was very fun. As a Spanish woman‚ I was telling the story of a beautiful young Mexican artist. The story of fatal events‚ she became a survivor‚ a mother‚ a lover and a voice. Emily Dickinson’s I’m Nobody!

An Analysis of "Sonnet 30" by William Shakespeare "Sonnet 30" by the great William Shakespeare is a vastly contrasting poem in the sense that it presents its rather large main problem in twelve sorrow filled lines and solves this same rather large problem with a simplistic two lines. The poem starts by painting a vivid mental picture of a forlorn person who is lounging all by themselves in a solitary and placid place while pondering deeply on all the memories of the past.

Dawson College Work presented to Mr. Roy Cartlidge English 101 10/18/06 An explanation of Sonnet CXXX The poem I chose to analyze is Sonnet CXXX (130) by William Shakespeare. This poem can be seen as either a humorous tribute to his lover or a way to mock other poets of his time.
