An example of a sonnet will be:
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Among those beliefs he had were the need to cut the power of the federal government, and to that end, he cut back on military spending, and reduced the size of the government. What was most iconic during his term in office, however was that for the first time in history, the Supreme Court interfered in the way that the government worked and through the ruling in the court case Marbury vs. Madison, judicial review of Congress acts was established. It was the first time that the Supreme Court declared itself as the rightful interpreter of the Constitution, and not Congress and repealed an act of Congress. In 1802, furthermore, Jefferson pushed through Congress the Judiciary Act, which upended the Judiciary Act proposed by earlier president John Adams, in 1801.

"The Cruel Tribute" by James Baldwin is based on the Greek mythology of the monster Minotaur and the tribute asked by King Minos.
As a form of revenge and re-compensation for his son's death, King Minos asked the city of Athens to pay an annual tribute of seven maidens and seven young men to his kingdom. One year, Theseus, the king's son decided to volunteer for the tribute. There, he met the princess who fell in love with him. So, before they were taken to the cave of the monster Minotaur, she provided a thread and a sword to Theseus. The thread was for them to find their way back to the entrance and the sword to kill Minotaur. Theseus slays the monster and escaped with the other youths, along with the princess. King Aegeus had told the men to put up a white sail if his son is alive. But in their excitement and happiness, they forgot to put up the white sail. When Aegeus saw the black sail still flying in the approaching ship, he fell into the sea and drowned.
