It was challenging to understand the poem for everybody. What gave me the idea of what Shakespeare really wanted to say was the last lines in where he says that as long as people live in this world and read the pem it will give life to you. By reading this i nderstood that Shakespeare was trying to immortalize his lovers beauty.

the poem was pretty hard... I just thought ' why he wrote this poem, if he wants to say something love to her, why didn't he just say it to her.' like this. But also i felt it was great. And when i tried to write a sonnet, i felt it is pretty hard that keep the lines and say everything what i want to say. And also keep the rhyme, and limiting to say in the part of the sonnet, and find a enough and balanced word in the sonnet.

Ms. Boyd had to explain it to me in speech class. So basically, I found out that this sonnet was Shakespeare's way of immortalizing his lover's beauty, which is, as he puts it, comparable to a summer's day. She's growing old and probably worries about her diminishing beauty, even though Shakespeare doesn't mention it. Then Shakespeare writes this sonnet to make her beauty eternal.

I had the same sonnet with brandon. So we had the same thought about the sonnet when we first read it. The result was quite shocking for me because it was about himself.
