you need a canteen in your school.write a letter to your district chief executive asking for assistance​
Klio2033 [76]

Below are important tips on how to write this letter.

The letter opens with the writer's address and date at the top right corner as follows;

                                                                            Universal Model School,

                                                                             90 Aba Owerri Road,

                                                                             Aba.

                                                                            August 9, 2021.

Next is the address of the receiver. The letter must have two addresses because it is a formal letter. This address is written at the left corner of the paper.

The District Chief Executive,

Aba District,

Aba.

The salutation now follows,

Sir,

The next thing is the heading/title of the letter;

            NEED FOR A CANTEEN IN UNIVERSAL MODEL SCHOOL  

The whole body of the letter is now used to buttress the need for a canteen in the school. The body of the letter closes with a request that the district chief executive should consider your plea with urgency.

At the end of the letter you have to write;

                                                                                 Yours Faithfully,

                                                                                 Your first and last names

How does shakespeare's sonnet 130 (p. 73, journeys in literature) differ from most petrarchan sonnets?
stepan [7]
There are many differences between Shakespeare's and Petrarch's sonnets, the most obvious one being the form of the sonnet. Shakespeare's sonnets have 14 lines, divided into 3 quatrains (a stanza of 4 lines) and a couplet at the end (a stanza of two lines), and they are written in blank verse, meaning that there is no rhyme. On the other hand, Petrarch's sonnets consist of an octave (a stanza of 8 lines) and a sestet (a stanza of 6 lines) and they rhyme.

When it comes to sonnet 130 in particular ("My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun"), the answer is quite obvious. This sonnet is very unconventional in a sense that Shakespeare seems to write about his loved one in an awful manner, pointing out to her bad qualities, depicting her as an ugly and unattractive woman. But the point is that he loves her nevertheless. On the other hand, Petrarch always talks about his loved Laura in the most beautiful manner. <span />
