The statements that apply about William Shakespeare’s sonnets are:

1. It consists of three quatrains and a couplet unlike the Italian division of an octave and a sestet. The meter is predominantly Iambic pentameter with each sonnet line consisting of ten syllables.

2. They often present a problem and a solution. Shakespeare usually presents a problem in the first octet (8 lines) and a solution in the sestet (6 lines) with a volta (a turn) in line 9 which transitions from problem to solution.

3. They were originally written in Italian. The  sonnet form originated in Italy and was popularised by Italian masters like Petrarch, Dante and Michelangelo.

4. They frequently focus upon love and romance. Originally used as a medium to express love, Shakespeare’s sonnets  went on to explore different themes like friendship, passage of time, beauty and mortality.

“I tried to climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it” (57). For example, when Scout says “I tried to climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it,” (57) she didn't literally try to get into his skin. She was just trying to understand how he felt, by looking at his problems through his eyes.

Calpurnia is described with metaphor as being "all angles and bones." The old racist neighbor, Mrs. Dubose, "was plain hell." Boo, the enigmatic resident of the Radley home, seemed "a malevolent Phantom." These characters are not actually these things.
