Read the paragraph from "sixteen" and answer the question.
and that was last thursday. tonight is tuesday. tonight is tuesday and my homework is done and i darned some stocking that really didn't need it, and i worked a cross-word puzzle and i listened to the radio and now i'm just sitting. i'm just sitting because i can't think of anything else to do. i can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and a yellow moon and thursday night. the telephone is sitting on the corner table with its old black face turned to the wall. i don't even jump when it rings any more. my heart still prays but my mind just laughs. outside the night is still—so still i think i'll go crazy. and so i'm sitting here and i'm not feeling anything. i'm not even sad because all of a sudden i know. i can sit here now and forever and laugh and laugh while the tears run salty in the corners of my mouth. for all of a sudden, i know, i know what the stars knew all the time—he will never , never call—never.

Follow the directions (and example) given to create your own sonnet. william shakespeare's sonnet 130 my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, coral is far more red, than her lips red, if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun: if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head: i have seen roses damasked, red and white, but no such roses see i in her cheeks, and in some perfumes is there more delight, than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. i love to hear her speak, yet well i know, that music hath a far more pleasing sound: i grant i never saw a goddess go, my mistress when she walks treads on the ground. and yet by heaven i think my love as rare, as any she belied with false compare. instructions: write fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. use a sonnet rhyme scheme. use the first eight lines to set up your idea (the octave). use the last six lines to conclude your idea (sestet). (variety may be added by including a substitute foot from time to time such as the two anapests in line 3 above.) work in small groups giving each other feedback. reading the sonnet aloud allows you to hear the words and rhythms of the lines. generate questions that will clarify the use of words and forms. for example: was the idea of the sonnet presented in the first eight lines? how was sound used to enhance the meaning of the sonnet?
