Can someone please write me a Sonnet Poem
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Sonnets are fourteen lines, as is sonnet 130; this allows Shakespeare to list several qualities of his mistress, then conclude with a couplet that turns the rest of the sonnet on its head. Sonnets have ten syllables per line, as does sonnet 130; this makes the poem read cleanly, with each thought given the same amount of weight in the poem. There are no structural oddities, like shorter or longer sentences, just the steady flow of beautiful poetry. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter; this makes the singsongy feel of the poem as it compares each attribute of the woman with a quality found in nature

Explain why the figure of the bard, Demodocus, is important. What or who does he represent?
Oxana [17]
<span>Demodocus </span>is a poet who often visits the court of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians on the island of Scherie. During Odysseus' stay on Scherie, Demodocus performs three narrative songs.

Demodocus first appears at a feast in the hall of Alcinous, after he approved that Odysseus should be provided with a ship for a safe passage home. During the feast Demodocus sings about the disagreement between Odysseus and Achilles at Troy. Everyone enjoys the singing except for Odysseus who bursts into tears because of the pain and suffering of which the song reminds him.
