Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 15   AIL 1435 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Trap: Assuming a Volta

Captions available

The idea

Not every sonnet turns at line nine, and Sonnet seventy-three does not turn at all. An option describing a turn that is not there will attract a candidate who has learned the convention without learning its exceptions.

In practice

The convention has exceptions.

Where people slip

Sonnet seventy-three is the case.
