Lit term:  Comic relief, coming of age

Look at possible answers from “Puedo Escribir”.
discuss, look at practice 180 Tyger, Tyger (721)

Ozymandias (803) for tomorrow. First paragraph is short summary, next paragraph can be about irony. Other ideas to fill out the page, use any lit terms or poet’s tools.  It does need to be a full page. 

Ozymandias     -Percy Bysshe Shelley  1792-1822
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
