Form Sonnets are divided into two sections
1. Problem/Conflict/Dilemma Presents the theme and raises an issue or
doubt. The problem is not usually a physical
problem, but more a moral or spiritual dilemma
2. Solution/Resolution Answers the question, resolves the problem,
or drives home the poem’s point The transition between part 1 and part 2 is
called the TURN; it helps move forward the emotional action of the poem quickly
