Which statement best explains the two possible interpretations of the sonnet? The three quatrains satirize common poetic comparisons of one’s beloved to beautiful things, suggesting that the speaker’s feelings are not strong. However, the sudden reversal in tone in the final couplet surprises and moves through its sincerity and depth of feeling, suggesting strong emotions. The speaker ridicules his mistress through his negative comparisons of her to idealized objects in the first 12 lines, which implies that he has lost interest in her. In the final couplet, though, he humorously reverses his tone and exaggerates her charms, from which readers can infer that he is being playful rather than hurtful. Some readers believe that the speaker uses satire to ridicule his mistress. Others find that his tone remains affectionate even while he speaks of her hair being “black wires,” her breath reeking, or her feet mundanely treading the ground. The humorous tone in the first two quatrains show that the speaker does not take love seriously. However, in the third quatrain, he speaks of loving his mistress’s voice and that she moves as he imagines a goddess would; this shows that he is serious about love after all.

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange. 

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith
