• Character Sketch: take any of the sonnets and get an image from (online, magazine, personal pictures etc. please cite your sources i.e. url, name of magazine etc.) that you think represents one of a character in one of the poems and write a paragraph on why this image captures the character in your selected poem.
Picture
This picture can represent "Sonnet 130" because she is not a pretty woman, but there is a guy who knows she is ugly, but he still has this love towards her. This picture is from the show "Ugly Betty" in Colombia. This show is a lot like "Sonnet 130" because her hair are like wires, her lips aren't like cora;, and her breath must stink.

Info Tech High School
Lyrics by: Vicky, Rocky, Johnny, Asia
Walking into ITHS feels like a different realm,
Ready to assess us, on every move, get into the groove.
It's vital now, our education, sports, and friendships,
Learning antiquated history,
Takes away the mystery of who we are,
Poignantly moving up and down the halls,
Captivating one another with our different views.
We go to ITHS because it is beneficial,
The yearning to get out is unofficial.
ITHS was made to be benign,
It is good to show decorum so you will be fine.
You should not fabricate because the consequence is Ignominious.
The teachers try to elaborate so you can be fiery at it.
As teachers teach the fundamental rights,
As they give you jovial but merciless work,
They cajole us to over work,
Even thought there gluttonous about the clerk.
But overall their magnanious to us.
If I could be candid,
ITHS is the most hypnotic school on the east.
Even though some people in it are not commendable
Everyone knows with ITHS anything is tangible.
You can never belittle an info tech student.
When you see us in the future it will never be abase.
Until they abduct us we will never go away.
