Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 I chose this poem somewhat at random since I felt that the main point of this assignment was to read a poem and interpret it for ourselves with no influence from others. I think the most disputable‚ if not confusing‚ aspect of this poem to me was whom it was addressed to. It sounded to me like it was either self-reflection about what love is‚ or perhaps more likely advice to another person about love. I would like to discuss the structure of the poem for just

In William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 87‚ Shakespeare appears to be bidding goodbye to the mysterious young man whom he writes so much about.

Shakespeare himself appears to be the speaker in the poem‚ whereas the young man is to

I look at Nehemiah 2:11-18 a model of true repentance. As Nehemiah went back to examine the fruit of the people’s sin- the destruction of their beloved city- I see him deeply examine it before he tries to rebuild it. When we repent‚ we can’t just give an insincere apology‚ or an half hearted turn of the heart. Before anyone can see that they need salvation‚ or see that they need forgiveness again(for us that are already saved)‚ we have to truly look into our heart‚ look into our actions and see
