HOLY SONNETS.
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.

“Donne’s “Holy Sonnets” are best understood not individually but as a group. In isolation, they can present a misleading conception of Donne’s faith; together they reveal the pattern of Donne’s devotion.” I have another source linking Donne’s history so this could be used with that in that he wrote the Sonnets to be a whole, although this project specifically asks for a part of that whole.

Further connection than just what we discussed in class connecting Wit, the play, and Donne’s Holy Sonnets. I plan to use this source in the same sense I will use the audio playback of my text, to describe pauses, and semicolons, comas, etc. between both authors and their uses.

This article talks of man’s evolution to become so close to god as other creatures are not. And how creatures are put on this earth to serve us. Wall Street Journal so yes it is credible.

The beginning of my poem talks of how man can be better than creature if he has original sin, and they are so corrupt, I needed a source to further talk about this. This comes from the journal of English literature so yes it is credible.

“Therefore, salvation is by grace through faith since it was not by our keeping the Law, but by Jesus, God in flesh, who fulfilled the Law and died in our place.”
Jesus died for our sins. Last 2 lines of this poem. Source is the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry. Credible and trustworthy.
Outline.
I plan for my final project to be a website that is easy to navigate through. I plan to have two panels, the first with the sonnet, and either underlined words or the entire line will have links that make the other panel lead in to an annotation.
This stage was done very well, but you never annotated your poem. The sources are annotated very well though. You seem to have a good idea how to develop your assignment into a viewable multimodal annotation.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea for you project. I only though we were supposed to choose the format and give an edited draft of the annotated bibliography, which is a lot better than before. A website sounds like a great idea for the project and will offer an easily assessable and organized annotation of your poem. Good job. Can't wait to see the final.
