[QUOTE="eric12421, post: 4421311, member: 562929"] Hey guys, I have to analyze This sonnet for my intro to lit class and I 've figured out the metaphors and the rime and the meter, but I can figure out for the life of me what stanzaic development is....As I can't find any assonance or Simile....I found the Alliteration, its in like line 8... That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the death-bed whereon it must expire Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by. This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long. Assonance- Assonance is repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences. Simile- A simile is a figure of speech used to make a comparison between two things, usually with the words “like” "than" or “as”. Thanks for the help! Eric [/QUOTE]
