<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.

Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.

Answer:
Life is a constant battle of dealing with a struggle, an addiction, perhaps pressure from so many sides. At some point in my life, I had to deal with at least one of these. Mine was low self-esteem. I had to constantly seek validation from others; despite my intelligence and drive for success. I appreciated the approval of people to run my life. Along life's way, I encountered a lot of people that took advantage of my vulnerability. I came to realize that people you meet always have a role to play in your life. I silently battled with my struggle until I met this individual (Mark), who on one of my insecure days told me that I did well at a particular presentation which seemed not perfect to me.
Unknown to me, he was my new Lecturer. His words meant a lot to me. The words of encouragement was a great deal because it was needed at that time. His words shaped me into a better person because I started to believe in my abilities. His words still resonate in my mind " do not fidget, always keep your chin up, you have got this, you are the best".
The most difficult part of the learning experience was when I failed a subject. I would constantly switch to my former self while trying to be strong. I would cry myself to sleep. I read my books overnight and spent hours in the Library during school hours. I just wanted to be the best. I had to double my efforts when I did not get the grades I wanted. I realized i was very intelligent and that the fears within made me fail so many times.
I would say that they are in favor, but that middle part is confusing and i see now why you are asking.
