__Assignment #1 original sonnet__
 Seasons of the Year I love the spring and its blossoming life The blooming flowers and the clear, blue sky I love summer, sun and plants have not strife But quick as they visit, they say goodbye

Next are the fall and its sweet chirping birds The long, lazy days and the naked trees Oh, how I love the wind’s whispering words As I sit in a sea of golden memories

Lastly, winter with its white blanket spread We slow and stop to see new years grinning We look and hope for the next years ahead For winters ending starts the beginning

So now I have shown my love for the year From sunshine to darkness it becomes clear

__Assignment #2 Quotation explication__
“It is an honour that I dream not of” (I.iii.66) Quotation Explication

While speaking in Act I of William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet asks her daughter Juliet how she feels concerning her marriage to Paris, a noble courter. Juliet tells her mother it would be “an honour” to marry a man as commendable as Paris (I.iii.66). Although, in reality, Juliet “dream[s] not of” marrying at such a young age but tells her mother that she would simply to please her (I.iii.66). Shakespeare uses verbal irony to show Juliet’s strength of character because she does not want to marry at such a tender age as most of the girls her age would. The verbal irony is shown in how Juliet says this quote as if she doesn’t want to marry at all and how to her mother the marriage would be a delight and an honour. He illustrates her wit in this paradox by the way she tricks her mother into telling her what she wants to hear. The paradox is seen by the way Juliet contradicts herself in the same sentence with the “honour” of marriage that she “dream[s] not of” (I.iii.66).

Night **

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; text-align: center;">It casts its massive shadow over the light of day Creating a sea of darkness all around me Like a blanket of peace over the bed where I sleep It is a curtain that draws our day to an end

Then so swiftly and silently does the day take the night And takes with it the knights of the night and their twinkling light It takes the glowing face from the blackened sky above To bring us yet another day which will bring us yet another night
