XII.
Why are we by all creatures waited on ?
Why do the prodigal elements supply
Life and food to me, being more pure than I,
Simpler and further from corruption ?
Why brook'st thou, ignorant horse, subjection ?
Why dost thou, bull and boar, so sillily
Dissemble weakness, and by one man's stroke die,
Whose whole kind you might swallow and feed upon ?
Weaker I am, woe's me, and worse than you ;
You have not sinn'd, nor need be timorous.
But wonder at a greater, for to us
Created nature doth these things subdue ;
But their Creator, whom sin, nor nature tied,
For us, His creatures, and His foes, hath died.

This is an audio playing of the poem. Poems are meant to be heard, so the flow (pauses between words, comas, semicolons, and rhyme) can be understood in another way than by reading. Credibility is trustworthy.

Analyses the different portions of Holy Sonnet XII. Also, it acknowledges differences between man and creature with and without sin. Very credible source.

Donne’s background information to give the reader of my essay an understanding of the author of the Sonnets and specifically the one I chose to write about. Credibility is trustworthy although not entirely scholarly.

Very trustworthy source. Journal talking about the relations of the speaker, Donne, with God, and how the Sonnets are a way of asking forgiveness for sins. Very detailed.

Journal by The Johns Hopkins University Press. Discusses Donne’s texts dealing with satire and sin. Only a few pages are accessible, I need to find a way to see more. Credible source.

ReplyDeleteMake sure you assess the audience and author of each poem. Google search the author, that's what I did. Good consideration of credibility, but in future drafts add more detail to why each source is credible. Also be sure to connect the information found in each source. Finally use more complete sentences, if that makes sense. This is a good start.
ReplyDelete(1) You describe how you will use the information that is in the source, however you do not describe why it is credible or who the creator is.
ReplyDelete(2) Once again you described how you will use the information and what information it contains, but do not discuss anything else.
(3) Describes the topic and the credibility, but could use more detail and evidence. Might want to change essay to annotation because we are not writing an essay.
(4) Same as most of the others... you need to describe the credibility and show evidence.
(5) Discussed the publisher; this shows that it is a credible source. Did not really discuss how this would be used or what information was in it.
-- need to relate the sources to each other
