in reading both sonnet 116 and sonnet 29 by Shakespeare amd Live In place By Nikki Giovanni my mind struggled to draw a link, "surely" i thought to myself Mrs Speigel hasnt given me two works to read that have barley a link to each other. Then i sat back and i thought welll they have the theme of love but both are completely different, Nikki is talking about seeing herself as beautiful as the person who loves her, for in the eyes of the person who loves us we are perfect in every sense of the word. But Shakespeare...ah yes then i saw the link nikki is talking about being seen through someone elses eyes, while shakespeare is talkign about doing the seeing.

""What i mostly see is me, through your eyes am i am still young smlim and very much commited to the love we still have" (Love In place) as you can see she says it directly i wasnt struggling to draw this conclusion that she was being seen through her lovers eyes.
