Physical Activity Perfect Day Friends

This would result in all of us getting together in the gravel pit, where we would ride our ATVs, until we get bored of it or until some of us break neck. After this, I would marinate some steaks for an...

The tone of the sonnet takes a roller coaster course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter co...
