sonnet 2
by william shakespeare

when forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
and dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,
will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held:
then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies,
where all the treasure of thy lusty days,
to say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,
were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
how much more praise deserved thy beauty's use,
if thou couldst answer 'this fair child of mine
shall sum my count and make my old excuse,'
proving his beauty by succession thine!
this were to be new made when thou art old,
and see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.

which does the poet portray as important in the sonnet?
a. children
b. praise
c. beauty
d. treasure

(1. functionalist perspective 2. conflict perspective 3. symbolic interactionist perspective 4. postmodern perspective) in other words which one of the four perspectives do you believe best explains why people do the things they do in our society? which one of the four perspectives best explains why you believe the things you do, and why you act the way that you do?

Read the following scene from trifles. sheriff (chuckling). married to the law. (moves toward the other room.) i just want you to come in here a minute, george. we ought to take a look at these windows. county attorney (scoffingly). oh, windows! sheriff. we’ll be right out, mr. hale. (hale goes outside. the sheriff follows the county attorney into the other room. then mrs. hale rises, hands tight together, looking intensely at mrs. peters, whose eyes take a slow turn, finally meeting mrs. hale’s. a moment mrs. hale holds her, then her own eyes point the way to where the box is concealed. suddenly mrs. peters throws back quilt pieces and tries to put the box in the bag she is wearing. it is too big. she opens box, starts to take the bird out, cannot touch it, goes to pieces, stands there . sound of a knob turning in the other room. mrs. hale snatches the box and puts it in the pocket of her big coat. enter county attorney and sheriff.) county attorney (facetiously). well, henry, at least we found out that she was not going to quilt it. she was going to—what is it you call it, ladies! mrs. hale (her hand against her pocket). we call it—knot it, mr. henderson. what changes might a director or screenwriter make to the original version of this scene in order to best emphasize the mood? cut dialogue from the scene to make it a more appropriate length update the setting to appeal to a more modern-day audience omit the actions of the characters to avoid confusion and chaos include the use of lighting, camera angles, and sound effects
