Reading Sparknotes is like....

Reading the Sparknotes on the Brothers Karamazov is like having ugly fake flowers in your wedding bouquet rather than beautiful real flowers that are in full bloom.

The Brothers Karamazov

I am slowly struggling my way through this book, but the farther I get into it, the more I enjoy reading it. I am beginning to get a feel on the different characters and at the time being Alyosha still remains the hero. He is the one kind and caring character in the Karamazov family. His job is to keep stability when need be in the heated discussion of his family members and friends. Although this is true, Alyosha is not my favorite character. As strange as it sounds I actually enjoy reading the words and actions of Fyodor Pavlovich. In my opinion he is the most interesting character in the book. Everything he says is so completely out there and I just can not get enough of him.

Sonnet

You in your little neon suit
Your eyes had seen me 'cross the room
My heart though taken thought you cute
Our paths would cross again so soon

Then 'round the fire we met again
Your smile was warmer than the flame
A different flame had sparked just then
Two hearts feeling about the same

And now with love I write this rhyme
Entranced by everything you do
I am so blessed that you are mine
These things I tell you now are true

So wish I may you'll always be
Part of my life, right beside me

Found Poetry

I sat down to write a found poem out of my physics book, and then looked at the mouse pad to the computer I had began working at. I thought this poem was more interesting to use.

Sonnets

I googled the definition of a sonnet and even looked up some examples, but I am still confused on how to write one. I understand that a sonnet has fourteen lines, and follows iambic pentameter, or has the same amount of syllables per line. I do not understand the ababcdcdefefgg rhyming scheme however. I think we should discuss this in class today so that we have a little bit more of an understanding on what to write to the one that we adore. Does anybody else understand this?
