Sonnet Essay

Sonnet Essay
My sonnet is about the game World of Warcraft and how I am not going to play that game anymore. I first decided to not play that game anymore after I realized that with a sport, I do not have the time to play that kind of game. This is because I get home at around 7-7:30 so after I eat dinner and take a shower it will already be 8:00 or 8:15. This means that if I want to sleep somewhere around 10 or 10:30, I have only about 2 hours to do my homework. Since I cannot finish all of my homework in 2 hours, I stay up until 11:00 to do my homework. So in the first line when I say “I had known this day was coming fast” this is supposed to mean that I sort of felt like I was not going to get to play intensely for a long time because of sports. Then I go on to say “the day the WoW gang would mourn deeply” this is supposed to show that the group of people I hang out with who are also my friends that play this game too will be missing a part of the game because I will no longer be playing. In the line when I say “The lost of a great leader can hit hard“ that is supposed to show that playing the game without me will make the experience different simply because there is one person missing. In the line “Few can take on the burden that will come” I was trying to add a bit of humor and I was also trying to tell the reader that there will be a burden going to me and going to my friends. To them there will be a burden because I will not be playing, and there will be a burden to me, because I will not be playing and I would be missing out on many things that are happening. In the line where I write “the burden like fall damage will hit hard” is supposed to be humorous because the fall damage is referring to WoW. This is because in WoW the characters take damage from falling from high places. This is also supposed to be a symbol because the WoW gang was high up and not it has lost it’s leader so then it will take some damage just like the gang is kind of falling. In the line where I write “the pain will be there like a swollen thumb” I meant that playing the game will never be the same because there is one person missing. I made a reference to the thumb because when we play WoW we use our thumbs to click the mouse, and with a swollen thumb, they will feel different while playing the game. Then there are the lines saying “Sometimes I wonder if it’s the right choice, there have been days where I dream about it” This is supposed to mean that I am in withdrawal and it is kind of painful because WoW had been such a big part of my life and now that it is gone, there seems to be empty holes in different parts of my day. The lines “My gang members/friends, in June, will rejoice, their leader will return to them, no doubt.” Are supposed to mean that I will return to playing WoW in the summer after the final exams, which is also when I finish Judo. Also, in the summer I will have more time. Then in the lines “The time between now and the summer time, for the WoW gang will be recov’ry time“ this is supposed to say that without their leader the WoW gang will have to fend for itself and they will have to stay strong but stay on the down low. This is because with one missing member, the WoW gang is weakened.

Sonnet

I had known, that this day was coming fast,
That day when the WoW gang will mourn deeply.
I knew my days of WoWing would not last,
The WoW gang will mourn, but move on quickly.
The lost of a great leader can hit hard.
Few can take on the burden that will come.
The burden, like fall damage will hit hard,
The pain will be there like a swollen thumb.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the right choice,
There have been days where I dream about it.
My gang members/friends, in June, will rejoice,
Their leader will return, no doubt for it.
The time between now and the summer time,
For the WoW gang will be recov’ry time.
