Shakespeare's Sonnet 7

In class yesterday we learned and reflected on Shakespeare Sonnet 7.

I thought that Shakespeare’s Sonnet 7 means:

 

There is a handsome man, who looks younger than his age, but he has a burden, of not having a heir, or son to take over his estate when he is old or dead.

 

But now I think differently, after our reflections yesterday:

 

There is a sun, that is “young” and just born in the early morning, but gets older and brighter as the day progresses until it become noo, then it starts getting older and dimmer. when it is night again, then the sun is gone, "dead."

Hey Kate,
It was interesting how you wrote what you had first thought was the meaning of the poem before you had discussed it with your group. It showed the readers about how you have your own way of interpreting things. Then you wrote your interpretation after the reflection. This showed the reader how you are open to new ideas, and are not tied down to one thing.
Great job!

Hey kate
I like that you included your fist thoughts. That was very thoughful LOL I like your interpretation both times because they both made sense. I like how you were open to new thoughts and reflected on what your original thoughts were and you were able to alter those.

I enjoyed how you gave reason for your thoughts and what they changed to. Maybe next time you could drill in deeper with more detail and maybe mention about the 3 groups. I also enjoyed how you realized that maybe a different understanding was more resonable and you went along with it. Good job!

Hello Kate :)
One thing I have to comment first is that it was very interesting to write down what you thought the poem was about when we first got it. It really shows how your thinking changed as we discussed somethings in class. Like the acting performance and the instrumental performance.
It seems as if you were thinking of new ideas as we take a longer time on the poem, seeing that today is our 3rd day.
Maybe next time you have to write a blog about something like this, you should drill your thoughts deeper and write down the evidence of why your thoughts were that way. But other than that, I enjoyed reading what you thought of the poem. :)

Kate, as your classmates have noted, great thoughts! You seem to have two different thoughts there though. Which one is correct? Could they both be? If so...how?

Keep drilling! As Sarah Palin said, "drill, baby, drill".
