When we did this analysis in class we didn't get very far so I decided to look up sonnets on the Internet.
-Sonnets originated in Italy
-They almost always have 14 lines
-Sonnet was derived from sonetto meaning "little sound" in Italian
-it follows a strict rhyme scheme and structure
-Shakespearean sonnets follow the rhyming scheme a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g
-Sonnets are usually written in Iambic Pentameter
