Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better than thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

I do not have a copy of this source yet so I don’t have an analysis on the source. This source has been peer-reviewed and been published in English Language Notes so I believe that it is a very credible source.
Beck-Watt, Sebastian. “Poetry explication: Holy Sonnet 10, John Donne's address to death.” Helium. Mar. 2010
This article gives a general overview as well as a different perspective on Donne’s Holy Sonnet 10. Helium is a where amateur writers write, edit, and review each other’s works. They make some sort of profit as well from the writing. While the credibility of the work is questionable, the article has been rated highly and it gives a new perspective on the holy sonnet. The article gives a great list of rhetorical devices used within the sonnet.

I do not have a copy of this source yet so I don’t have an analysis on the source. This source has not been peer-reviewed but it has been published in a literary journal for criticisms so I believe the source is credible.
Wolfe, Ralph H., and Edgar F. Daniels. "Rime and Idea in Donne's Holy Sonnet X." American Notes and Queries 5.(1967): 116-117. MLA International Bibliography. EBSCO. Web. 3 Mar. 2010.
This source gives a very insightful analysis on the Holy Sonnet 10. It focuses on “death” in the poem as well as the rime scheme within the poem. The article seems to be very credible as it was published in American Nates and Queries, a scholarly literary journal with a long history. The audience is most likely scholars and literary amateurs. Wolfe makes the argument that the prevalent theme in the poem is that death speaks of a person who will die, not a way to eternal life as in many Christian writings.
Woolway, Joanne. “Holy Sonnet 10 (Criticism).” Answers.com. Poetry for Students, Gale, 1997. Mar. 2010
This article gives a great criticism on many different aspects of the sonnet. Answers.com is a website that allows people to write about any topic they desire. Woolway is a PhD from Oriel College, Oxford, England so I assume the source is somewhat credible. The article states that there are 4 reasons to not fear death that Donne gives. It discusses the sonnet form and the irregular rhyme scheme.

Peer Review 1:
ReplyDelete- The sonnet used is one of the four sonnets covered in class
- The text of the sonnet and annotated 5 sources have been included and are easily identified. Check.
Main Points:
- I guess two of the sources did not include a written text of the article, so the annotations could not be developed. Its alright I did the same thing.
- I liked how you gave specific information about the sources to describe their credibility a bit further
- You could maybe include more information about what the author covers in the article such as the structure, form, or rhetorical devices.
- Also, take into account that you will have to incorporate images and other media related modes to express your argument. How can these sources be compared to a certain image or video? This is just something to thing about when selecting each source. Does the source provide enough information to get your point across?
[] Use another sonnet
ReplyDelete[] Pretty good base annotations, especially in analyzing credibility. I'm gonna focus on what you need to add or improve.
[] You don't have that first source but you probably could have generally gathered what you could pull from it - comments on feminist discourse. While I'm not asserting you should assume the contents of a work, you could have probably formed a more robust annotation in that case.
[] Add details on how you will implement these sources in the "multimodal" sense. That is, will you use images, videos, color, size, shapes, or some other method to emphasize the effect of each annotation.
[] How are your sources related? If they are not related, note this. Does that mean they introduce a totally separate idea from your other sources? If they are related, expand on that. How do they complement each other? How you will use them in tandem? Will you use them to emphasize one point?
As previously stated, you should choose another poem that wasn't covered in class. Finding some sources that deal with Donne's work in a broader context might be a good idea, so that way you can view it within his entire range of works rather than by itself. This might also provide some background to the insights made by some of the sonnet-specific sources. Otherwise, you have a good spectrum of sources in terms of credibility.
