Senior AP Group 1 Sonnet Response: 50 Points

One a separate sheet of paper, respond to the following in essay format. You must include a begining, middle, and an end. Proper paragraphing is needed, but you are not being held to the paragraph conventions of a five paragraph essay. However, you must use proper grammar, sentence structure, and formal language conventions. If you use something from Bob's Biway or The Sonnets Web Page, you must cite it in this manner:

This is how you cite an idea that is not yours: You paraphrase the idea and place the name of the site in braces before the period (Name of site).

Do not paraphrase more than one sentence without explaining or commenting on it in your own words.

This is how you use a direct quote: "You place the quote in parenthesis and put the site name in braces before the end of the period" (Name of site).

If you do not follow this rule, your paper is plagiarism and will not be graded.

Here is your prompt:

3. Talk about poetry devices or figurative language used in poem.
