Norma-Jean [14]

The invention of technology had made our life easier. Communication, work, and transportation had evolved over time. We no longer travel longer, we no longer has to work manually and there are so many gadgets and appliances to help improve our lifestyle.

Indeed, it had made our lives easier and better.

However, there were also downsides of its intrusion to human society. Children no longer play outside. People have become lazy and would rather rely on technology for important things. People no longer see face to face, but rather on the screens of their smartphones, tablets, pads and computers.

Technology may have been one of the best things in life, but because of technology, we no longer appreciate the little things that life has to offer.

Imagine you are the mistress in this sonnet and you want to respond to the speaker. What tone would you take with the speaker? N

Goryan [66]

This question is about "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" by William Shakespeare.

Answer and Explanation:

The speaker presents a fun and sincere tone in the sonnet.

The response to the speaker should also follow that tone.

The sonnet response can be read below. She was raised from the point of view of the mistress.

My lord does not give me exaggerated praise

You don't see me as a goddess,

Nor does it compare to the beauty of nature.

In fact my lord's sincerity can cry many listeners,

But for me it is convenient.

Because of this true vision that he has of me

I am not obliged to reach unrealistic standards

I can be myself and be comfortable in his presence

This is the greatest example of romance that anyone can achieve.

I also don't see him as a man full of perfection

And I believe that its beauty cannot be compared to that of any Adonis

Nor is his education as refined as that of the noble princes

But I see him as an equal

And that is what unites us more than anything.
