The Renaissance

The Renaissance
To me this sounds like the period when everyone is starting to come to their sinces. The new theories about life, philosophy, religion, and art were strengthened by a group known as the Humanists, they are the one's to me that sounds like they were the first to gang some since. The Reformation is another example that people were starting to think for they selves, and another major contention was the tremendous corruption within the Church's hierarchy, all the way up to the Bishop of Rome, who appointed individuals to various positions within the Church (bishop, cardinal, etc.) on the basis of financial contributions.Thanks to the printing press this also help lowered the cost of books and other printed items and they no longer relied on the Pope to translate the messages in the Bible for them. As for King Henry the eight, well how cool is to be king and not only that to have six wives. Things seems to be good in his shoes till one of his own wife out lives him, but other than that the future were in the people hands now.

The Renaissance--The Sonnets
The difference between Shakespeare poet and Spencer poet is the rhyme scheme. While both Shakespeare and Spencer uses the same first rhyme scheme the rest is different; Shakespeare uses a ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme, and Spencer uses ABAB BCBC CDCD EE. I like Shakespeare way saying things in his poem, I like Spencer poem too but Shakespeare poem just has more heart in it to me. He literally made this poem eternal throught out the ages of men.

Sonnet 18
William Shakespeare
First Section: ask a question should he compare me to a summer's day, but then he shouldn't because I am more temperate and lovely than the rough winds about in the summer of May.
Second Section: sometimes too hot the summer sun shines but not always it does, as well for everything and everyone's beauty it fades alway.
Third Section: that my eternal summer and beauty shall not fade, nor should death brag and take me in his shade with this poem.
Conclusion: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, so long lives this poem, and gives life to thee.

Sonnet 30
Edmund Spencer
First Section: He is referring his love to a girl as fire to ice. Why is that the more his fire burns the colder her ice gets.
Second Section: Here he is wandering why can feel his love burning him up in a boiling sweat and feel his flames augmented manifold; Is not delayed by her heart frozen ice cold.
Third Section:
Conclusion:That the power of love can change the course of nature.

William Shakespeare Sonnet 1

FROM fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

First Section; As beautiful people grow old and die, they are pass on through their child
Second Section; Selfish people do not last long
Third Section; Don't take things of this earth for granted
Conclusion; All things of earth will evently die


Edmund Spencer
"One day I wrote her name upon the strand"

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.

Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.

Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;

Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.

First Section; Spencer one day wrote his wife name down in the sands on a beach, but the tides washed it away
Second Section; Spencer's wife tells him things of a mortal world were not mint to last forever
Third Section; Spencer comes up with a way to do so with his poems,
Conclusion; their love would give them a new life even after death

My Sonnet
Antonio Hitchcock, it is my name
With an essence in my body and soul
An gigantic question is in my brain
Entitices are convincing me to go
To grow, love, and prosper is my motto
Voices are telling me to be about
I would live like there is no tomorrow
Hisitation is in my body like grouch
For no mistake or reason I am here
To of creation or abolition I appear
Analyis of life is only to fear
Who inspire or discourage become peers
Interrogation is only to thy self
As destined for one to wear thy owns belt

Section1.) I question life
Section2.) To grow, love, and prosper
Section3.) Tohate, destroy, decline
Section4) Turn; To do nothing
Conclusion) No question just live your life
