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>.

Strong readers make connections with the texts they read to form a deeper understanding. There are four kinds of connections rea
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

I imagine It may be difficult for only children to understand the kind of brotherly relationship that includes both devoted love and the most ruthless hatred. But my personal experience allowed me to better understand the brother´s relationship and therefore the text itself.

Explanation:

Text-to-self connections are the most interesting for me. Books often provide me comfort and helpful tools to apply in my personal life. The Outsider made me think of my family, specifically my relationship with my brothers. I love both of them, but family issues, mostly related to financial problems, often get in the way of us having a good relationship. We fight a lot.

I find a sign of hope in how Darry and Ponyboy reconcile at the end, at Sodapop´s request. Their brotherhood overcomes Dally’s and Johnny’s deaths while strengthening their family bond. I hope my brothers and I can someday do the same with our own issues.
