In this sonnet, what is the...
:55:04
What is the principal poetic device?
I'll give you a hint:
:55:06

:55:08
What propels this sonnet?
:55:14
You can come to this class prepared,
or you can be excused from this class...
:55:18
this department, and this university.
:55:21
Do not think for a moment
that I will tolerate anything in between.
:55:29

:55:31
"You are 19 years old. You are so young.
:55:36
"You don't know a sonnet
from a steak sandwich."

:56:37
I need to ask for an extension
on my paper.
:56:40
- I'm sorry, I know your policy, but...
- Don't tell me, your grandmother died.
:56:45
- You knew?
- It was a guess.
:56:47
I have to go home.
:56:49
Do what you will,
but the paper is due when it is due.
