1. First, you will select a topic. Write your topic in the Sonnet Organizer where it says, “My topic is.” Sonnets are often writ
ten to make some type of point or provide an example on a given subject. Some good topic suggestions for sonnets include: • Spring or another preferred season • Love or another emotion that remains equally relevant • A sport • A favorite animal (I CHOSE SPRING AND WINTER)
2. Then you will choose a second topic to compare to your first selected topic. Write your second topic in the Sonnet Organizer where it says, “My contrasting topic is.” Your second topic should be something that contrasts. For example, if you chose to write about spring, you may choose to compare spring to another season, such as fall. If you chose to write about football, you may choose to compare football to another sport, such as soccer.
3. Next, you will start to write your sonnet. In the Sonnet Organizer, you will first compare your two chosen topics in the boxes titled “First Quatrain.” Discuss the things that are similar about your two topics. Remember, your first and third lines need to rhyme, while the second and fourth lines need to rhyme.
4. Next, you will draft the second quatrain. In the Sonnet Organizer, you will contrast your two chosen topics in the boxes titled “Second Quatrain.” Discuss the things that make your topics different. Again, remember your first and third lines need to rhyme, while the second and fourth lines need to rhyme.
5. In the “Third Quatrain” on your Sonnet Organizer, you will discuss why your selected topic, or your first topic, is so important. What makes this topic meaningful to you? Why should people care about this topic? Again, remember the rhyme scheme!
The correct answer is A. She should paraphrase it, because its exact wording is not creative or unique.
In research papers, quotations should be used very sparingly, and only used when a source contains a creative or unique point that can add a nice touch if added to a research paper. The sentence, "Romeo and Juliet seems to be the most popular of Shakespeare's plays" is neither creative nor unique, which is why Catie is better off paraphrasing it in her report rather than directly quoting it.
The correct answer is Option C. It reveals that he is organized and used to an established morning routine.
The fact that a child of such a young age gets up from bed and prepares for the day without any parental authority enforcing him, demonstrates this character as a responsible and well-educated being - at least during the mornings.
