The sun has risen and stands up high in the sky, people continue to admire and adore its beauty and its glowing majesty like a young strong king high up on a throne. But when it sets, it fades and it will loose its beauty and the sky looks dark and old. It is just like when an old man dies without a son, he will be forgotten too with no son to carry on his name and generation.

My understanding of "Sonnet 7"
I think Sonnet 7 means;
The sun has risen and stands up high in the sky, people continue to admire and adore its beauty and its glowing majesty like a young strong king high up on a throne. But when it sets, it fades and it will loose its beauty and the sky looks dark and old. It is just like when an old man dies without a son, he will be forgotten too with no son to carry on his name and generation.

hi, I agree with you because that is what i also think and make sense to me that they can be comparing us with the sun
I agree with you because this sentence it is just like when an old man dies without a son, he will be forgotten too with no son to carry on his name and generation is what I also thought and it makes sense with the poem. And also like what Ni said it make sense comparing people or a person and the sun.
Sarah.
Yes....good thinking and a effective summary. Now, take this to connect with the sonnet using quotes from the sonnet to support your thinking.
