Sonnet

The word sonnet comes from the Italian sonetto for "little song" or "little sound". So, a sonnet is something Shakespeare wrote a lot; he wrote about 154 of them. One can even be a "sonneteer" according to Wikipedia. English sonnets are fourteen lines, and are written in iambic pentameter. That means an unemphasized syllable is followed by an emphasized syllable, and this pattern repeats 5 times. Sonnets usually are arguing something, like how more beautiful your girlfriend/boyfriend is than anyone else. Our assignment is to actually write a sonnet, which is cool since it seems like one of those things you would never do unless it was an assignment. I suppose I can think of a couple "sonnet-worthy" people, to use Ashley's Seinfeld-esque word.
