Read William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. Note that it is divided into three quatrains followed by a concluding couplet. Which two s

ignals indicate the start of the third quatrain in line nine?
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

The ninth line of the sonnet brings in a major change of tone. Shakespeare jumps on elaborating the immortality of his lover rather than continuing the criticism of the sun.  Moreover, the limitations of nature are replaced by his lover’s thoughts and he claims that his darling is not bounded by the rules that are being displayed.

In line-4, the summer is stated as ”eternal summer”, since it keeps returning every year. And noticing from the previous personifications employed in the sonnet, we can easily recognize the similarity between “summer’s day” and “thee”. Both can be eternal or can fade with time. This is the major reason why the author takes a turn on line-9, as both of them have only one threat-time; and the third force that can eternalize them both is the poetry that the author has created.

To conclude, we can easily notice the turn in topic and breaking of the stanza.

The Portrait of Paul Revere by John Singleton Copley. 250-word report.
OLEGan [10]

John Singleton Copley's portrait shows Paul Revere, an artisan. He is a famous silversmith and etcher. In this portrait, it seems the artisan is about to begin engraving the silver teapot he is holding on his hand, but we have interrupted him by looking at him on the portrait. He regardfully stares at us. He is not only an artisan, but a full artist. He is a smart man looking at us attentively. He is trying to guess what is the reason why we are disrupting him as he is a very important citizen in his society. Everybody knows that he is an excellent artisan, his work is widely known and recognized in the society he lives in.

This portrait was done in 1768. The painting technique used is oil on canvas. Its dimensions are 35 inches high and 28.5 inches wide. At present, it is at Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch Gallery (Revolutionary Boston, gallery 132.)

John Singleton Copley emigrated to London when Paul Revere made his legendary midnight ride to alert the Good citizens that the British were coming. He painted this portrait of Paul Revere some years earlier, when Revere was known as a silversmith with a flourishing Boston trade, but not as an American hero yet. Although Revere was active by then, even in revolutionary politics, Copley prudently kept the portrait free from any hint of controversy. We can see that the portrait captures the qualities that allowed Revere to play an instrumental role in colony times: physical strength, moral certainty, intelligence, and explicit dedication to a cause.
