Words: 796 - Pages: 3.... he is willing to give her are merely tokens of exaggerations and are listed to show his
beloved that this is how much he wants her. Whereas in Sonnet 130, the poet is earnest and truthful in what he writes about his love. “I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music
hath a far more pleasing sound, yet, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare.” This shows his honesty in speaking about his object of affection, yet he achieves the same sense of

Lancelot And Odysseus
Words: 1516 - Pages: 6.... time periods. This idea is
demonstrated when one examines the similarities between Lancelot and Odysseus,
their differences, and the consequences of their actions on their lives.

After completing the story, I discovered that the two stories had a lot in common with each other. It was mainly because of Salinger's narrative style and other writing technique's he uses in these two great stories.
