Hello Everyone,
For this displacement post, I chose to show the story of North Korean Woman, Yeonmi Park. She and her family have experience and witness displacement in their country and on their journey to freedom.
I attended “How to read a Sonnet,” which was facilitated by Professor Laura Kolb. This was a very interesting and surprising experience because I am not a fan of Literature, especially Shakespeare. However, I did enjoy being there and learning how to understand and deconstruct a sonnet like Shakespeare’s sonnets.
For general information, I learned that a sonnet, which derives from the Latin word sonetto sueno, means little sound. A sonnet consist of 14 lines with 10 syllables per line, however, this sonnet had 11 syllables per line. A sonnet is composed of three quatrains with one couplet. I learn that a feminine rhyme has two or more syllables while a masculine rhyme has one syllable. I also learned about a sibilance and fricatives. Professor Kolb gave us three guidelines for how to read a sonnet:
For the sonnet that we read, it had a mixture of fix rhyme, such as “passion”, “fashion”, “gazeth” and “amazeth”, and slight rhymes, such as “created”, “defeated”, “nothing” and “a-doting”. Lines 1-8, Shakespeare is complimenting this beauty. The sonnet is about a man who nature intended to be a woman, because of its beautiful features, but “by adding one thing” which is a penis, prove to be not beneficial to Shakespeare. Shakespeare admired this man because of his woman features. For example, “A woman’s face, with nature’s own hand painted,” which describes his natural beauty, in addition to his gentle heart which is not subject to change like a women’s fashion. Shakespeare highlighted that the man attracts everyone with his beauty, “which steals men’s eyes and women’s souls amazeth.” However with the addition that characterise him as a man, Shakespeare ended suggesting that the man gives him his heart and the woman the use of his treasure.
