for this assignment, you are going to choose a famous couple from the list below and write a humorous sonnet that one of these individuals would send to the other.

you may write your sonnet with sincerity and affection, or if you are feeling clever or cynical, you may write a parody. a parody uses the form of the original to poke fun. for this assignment, you would write your parody in sonnet form but employ techniques like hyperbole, understatement, or irony to mock the love poem genre, the idea of love in general, or some dynamic of your chosen couple's relationship.

choices for couples:

mickey and minnie mouse

superman and lois lane

bonnie and clyde

antony and cleopatra

charlie brown and peppermint patty

princess jasmine and aladdin

princess peach and mario (video game)

edward and bella (twilight series)

harry potter and ginny weasley (harry potter series)

john lennon and yoko ono

brad pitt and angelina jolie

beyonce and jay-z

ben affleck and jennifer garner

faith hill and tim mcgraw

arranging and rearranging your brainstormed items may give you ideas of how the poem should flow. then you can add and take away from the words and phrases you have to create a unified poem.

use at least one of the humorous devices we studied in this unit: irony, pun, oxymoron, malapropism, or hyperbole.

remember to structure your sonnet in three quatrains ending with a couplet.

once you have the flow of the poem, work on the rhyme scheme.

the english language is prone to iambic pentameter, so do not worry as much about the unstressed/stressed combination. instead, make sure you have 10 syllables in each line.

do not post an answer unless it can check off all of these

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights show that hindley earnshaw did not care about the well-being of catherine and heathcliff after the death of mr. earnshaw? they both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. he would not even have seen after their going to church on sundays, only joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order heathcliff a flogging, and catherine a fast from dinner or supper. but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. the curate might set as many chapters as he for catherine to get by heart, and joseph might thrash heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time i’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and i not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power i still retained over the unfriended creatures. one sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when i went to call them to supper, i could discover them nowhere. we searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. the household went to bed; and i, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return.
