George Eliot Realism AP essay
I tried uploading this earlier, but It wouldn’t work at my house for some reason.

I am going to post the Hamlet essay and the Man of LaMancha journal (one big one) sometime today
sonnet 29
When I’ve been disgraced in the eyes of other men by fate
I cry to myself in a daze
heaven does not hear my cries and help my troubles
I see myself and curse my life
I wish I was one who had more hope
I wish I was better looking an had friends
I wish I had this guy’s creativity, and that guy’s future
The things I use to enjoy no longer make me happy
I hate thinking the way I do about myself
I think happily of you, then I think of my state
Like a songbird singing in the morning
from a gloomy word sings songs worthy of angels
remembering your love brings me the greatest treasure
only then do hate ever wanting to switch places with a richer man
sonnet 130
her eyes are not like the sun, they are very boring
her lips are not red like briliant coral
her skin is a grayish brown
her hair is coarse like wire
I have seen perfect red and white unblemished roses
her cheeks do not resemble such roses at all
some perfumes smell wonderful
but her breath is not like these
I like to hear her speak,
but music is more grand to listen to
I have never seen a goddess walk
but she walks while dragging her feet
My love I think is very rare
as any she wouldn’t believe
