Answer: This is an example of a Shakespearean sonnet because of:
- the abab, cdcd, efef, gg rhyme scheme
- the widespread use of iambic pentameter
- the use of three quatrains followed by a couplet
Explanation:
In 1609, Shakespeare published 154 sonnets, among which is Sonnet 19. The poem deals with the power of time.
This sonnet is representative of a Shakespearean sonnet because:
- It follows the typical the abab, cdcd, efef, gg rhyme scheme
- the widespread use of iambic pentameter (a rhyme scheme in which each line contains ten syllables -five pairs which are called iambs). For instance, <em>"But I forbid thee one more heinous crime." </em>
- the use of three quatrains followed by a couplet. The first twelve lines in a sonnet are divided into three quatrains (each containing 4 lines), followed by a couplet (two lines written in the same rhyme and meter).
To my mind the correct answer is (A).
"Many Americans travel to Costa Rica during the winter months, the peak season, because of the warmer temperatures found at many of Costa Rica’s tropical beaches and lush rain forests. "
In this sentence, the author decides to add additional information through an APPOSITIVE PHRASE. If the writer decides to delete "the peak season" from the sentence, the meaning of the sentence will remain.
One of Wiesel's concerns in Night is the way that exposure to inhuman cruelty can deprive even victims of their sense of morality and humanity. The first hint of this dehumanized behavior on the part of the Jewish prisoners comes when some of the deportees, in the contraints of the cattle car, lose their modesty and sense of sexual, inhibition. Wiesel suggests that one of the great psychological and moral tragedies of the Holocaust is not just the death of faith in God but also the death in faith in humankind.<span>
