Petrarch's Sonnet 18 is about Laura, her beauty and his incapability to describe her beauty in a proper way. His love for her is an impossible one, and he uses repeatedly negative words and phrases to state clearly that her beauty is impossible for him to describe, <em>"unsung...in my rhyme".  </em>He hasn't got any possibilities to make a proper description of her beauty, nor to describe her brightness. So he uses negative word and phrases to strenghten  the idea of his inability to make a suitable portrayal of her, because her beauty is such that it exceeds his chance to describe it. He hasn't got the <em>strength </em>nor the <em>genius</em>.

WAYS TO ENSURE HEALTH NEEDS OF STUDENTS IN ARLINGTON HIGH

Dear Sir, the health needs of the students of this school has been neglected for too long and I decided to take a stand and bring it to your notice.

For the last six months, there have been scattered cases of cholera outbreak along the students, and there was one case with a staff. There has not been a dedicated response to this health challenge, it has been treated with kid gloves too. I believe there should be strict enforcement of hand washing in all classes.

Another health need that the students face is the unhygienic state of the toilets which has been going from bad, to worse. The students feel, rightly, I must add that there is a need for an extra janitor or cleaner to help maintain the hygiene of the toilet.

Thank you for your time.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Chen.

Answer:

I truly do not believe that any job and work in this world can be done by any specific gender person. In the past few years, the male and females the world has seen that males have gone for professions that were believed to be made for females and vice- versa.

Every job requires efficiency and dedication which comes from the character of any individual and not the gender he or she is born in.
