After You Read "Whoso List to Hunt" and "Sonnet 30"
Literary Lens: Sonnet
Prove that Wyatt's sonnet is a Petrarchan, or Italian, sonnet, and Spenser's is a Spenserian
sonnet by copying each and marking the rhyme scheme. What is the effect of all the repeated
rhyming sounds in the two poems? In Wyatt's sonnet, how does the content of the octave and
sestet differ? How are they connected? In Spenser's sonnet, how does the final couplet sum
up the ideas that the poem expresses?
Explore Context: Hunting in Tudor Society
Wyatt's poem is a translation of a sonnet by Petrarch. What does the poem reveal about
hunting in Petrarch's Italy? Research hunting in Tudor England. Was hunting a common way to
obtain food? Was it popular as a sport? What lands were hunted, and where was it forbidden
for most people to hunt? What kinds of animals were commonly hunted, and which animals, if
any, were protected? Write a paragraph describing what you learned.
Apply and Create: Identify Petrarchan Conceit
In a group of five, discuss the conceit in Wyatt's poem. Consider how the comparison of
love to a hunt becomes the framework for the whole poem, with more and more details
elaborating on the basic comparison. Also examine the validity of the conceit, listing
similarities and differences between love and a hunt on a Venn diagram like the one below and
discussing other comparisons you have read or heard that suggest love is a pursuit of prey by
a predator

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
