Pg. 448 Sonnets (#1 and 2)

1. Petarch's sonnet clearly describes heartbreak of a woman he loved very much. It seems like he loved the girl, but she didn't love him back or he could never have her.

2. I found this sonnet a little bit hard to understand, but I think Shakespeares  idea of love is that love is difficult and wanders. Meaning that one's heart is never full devoted to someone and has many personalities.

1a. Abuse of power, their financial corruption, and immorality

2b. He insisted that God's grace could not be worn by good works and faith alone was needed. He also insisted that Christian individuals should be their own "interpreters of scripture". He strongly believed that Christian practices should only come from the bible itself and he himself translated the bible into Germany. By doing this he enabled many people to read the bible.

4a. Because when King Henry asks the pope to annul his marriage, the pope refused. This aggrivated Henry very much and he breaks from the Catholic church.

2. They both changed the world dramaticly. They both are a newer uprade to what was used before they were invented and both impacted technology in a great way. For example before the printing press books were more expensive and handwritten. But once the printing press was invented books were able to be typed and printed, and became cheaper. With the internet, way back then people found out news from newspapers and socially kept in touch with one another by writting letters. Now, since the internet revolution, new sorts of news are posted on the internet and people are able to keep in touch with via email, facebook, skype, etc.
