1. The speaker is a persona in the poem
2.The theme of the poem is a country town and the travels of the adventurer 3.The setting is the town "...shout we must take him down remarked the yokels of walgett town" 4. Yes, the poem features a character named 'the stranger'. "There came a stranger - a 'cockatoo..." and "the sunburnt stranger was gaunt and brown" these quotes show us the character. 5. line one features 'strikes': the sun strikes by shining so bright that it is 'blinding' 5th line 'wanders': 6.there are no images shown in the poem. 7. I think the poem is about a travler that tries to earn some hard earned cash thats why he was travelling to walgett. Shakespearean Sonnets |

Weary with toil, I haste me to my
bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head, To work my mind, when body's work's expired: For then my thoughts, from far where I abide, Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, And keep my drooping eyelids open wide, Looking on darkness which the blind do see Save that my soul's imaginary sight Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, Makes black night beauteous and her old face new. Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, For thee and for myself no quiet find. 1. Find and write the definitions for five words from the sonnet that you don't know. 2. What does Shakespeare mean when he says, "Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed..."? 3. After he goes to bed, he says "then begins a journey in my head, to work my mind", and that his thoughts "intend a zealous pilgrimmage". What does he mean by this? 4. What language technique is used in the following quote? "...my soul's imaginary sight presents thy shadow... like a jewel hung in ghastly night..." |
1. toil,thy,abide,lo,pilgrimage.(thy archaic or dialect form of your) (toil work extremely hard or incessantly) (abide accept or act in accordance with (a rule, decision, or recommendation)."I said I would abide by their decision") (lo used to draw attention to an interesting or amazing event) (pilgrimage a pilgrim's journey.)
2. to work hard enough to earn money 3. He means that he about to have a dream and i know he's knocked up from work 4. the laungauge tecnuiqe is a (simile) because it refers to thy shadow like a jewel hung in ghastly night |
