Much Ado ABout Nothing - Consider the tittle
The tittle implies that the people in the book will make a big deal about nothing. They will over exaggerate and make something very small into a big ordeal. The fact that noting is how you pronounce nothing in old english it is as if someone is always waking note of something and making it into a problem.

l.i.121
What is she saying? What does she mean when Beatrice says.... "I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swears he loves me." l.i.121
Beatrice is saying that she would rather hear something very irritating than hear a man say that he loves her. She does not think that love is important and she does not trust men. She thinks that love is untrue and that there is no point to being in love.

Shakspeare - Post #5
Q: "My Mistress Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun" Sonnet 130. Compare Collins "Littany" with the rhetorical argumentative moves of Shakespeare's sonnet 130
A: They both compare their beloved ones to various things and both say how they really feel. Even though they are supposed to say their loved ones look radiant and shine like the sun , they tell the truth and take back their compliments and say that they rely do not look like that. In Collins piece he does not take back oe compliment but in Shakespeare's sonnet he takes back everything.

Billy Collins - post #4
Q: In "Litany" Billy Collins plays with diction ( word choice) how does his reading and performance of this language impact him?
A: When he first talks his voice and the way he talks is boring but when he begins to read the poem he starts to read it with conviction and brings it to life. He changes the language of the poem and updates it and makes it better. He changes the poem to make it funny. He compares a woman to something beautiful and then takes it back. I find that very funny.

Emily Dickinson - Post # 3
Q: How is Emily Dickinson's poem fresh?
A: Her poem is fresh because when you read it out loud you read it with conviction. It is not flashy but makes a point and makes you listen to the point. She makes her point subtle but you understand what she is trying to say quickly.

Shihan - Post #2
Q: How much "Flash" does Shihan imply in his poem?
A: Throughout the whole poem he flashes words at us making certain words more prominent and he talks really fast. He tells us that words represent us and teach us things, that words are important to voice out thoughts and opinions and that we should use our voice. He says that we do not have to use flashy words but that we should say how we feel

Q: What do you receive hearing the poet speak and reading the text?
A: He was making fun of our generation by talking loudly and slowly as if we could not understand him. He stated that our generation does not articulate how we feel and say what we mean and that we end every sentence with a question as if we are not sure as to what we are saying. When you see his poetry in writing it makes it more powerful and the letters are jumbled up to make his point more clear that we jumble what we are saying and do not say things the right way. He wants to make it clear that we should say how we feel and how we want to say it. To not be afraid to say things and make it seem like we are asking a question when we are not.
