Am I stretching it yet?

For our English homework assignment we had to write a rough draft of an essay about a sonnet in Hamlet. Hamlet is written by Shakespeare and is therefore confusing. Shakespeare also wrote poems along with his plays that are equally confusing. One of his poems, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day" is about describing a woman to a summers day, with a little bit of Shakespeare's cockiness when he says "So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,/ So long lives this, and gives life to thee." Basically he is saying that people will only know of her beauty because he is an awesome writer and his poems will last forever, which ironically is what happened. This morning while I was driving to school, "Act Naturally" came on by a most wonderful band, The Beatles. This song talks about how they are going to make him famous because they are going to put him in the movies and he just had to "act naturally" for them to do so. I connected these two in my mind, because of the cockiness of Shakespeare and of The Beatles. Shakespeare said his poems were going to last forever, and The Beatles said that they were going to be famous because they were going to be in movies. Obviously The Beatles were unfathomably famous worldwide, and their music has survived even until the 21st century. Shakespeare's work has also lasted that long, putting both of them at the same level of cockiness. As for the irony, The Beatles were famous for their music, and in a song written famously by them, they talk about getting famous because of the movies they will be in. Shakespeare's irony resides in the fact that he said his poem was going to last forever, and thus far, it has. Darn those famously ironic, equally cocky, and all the more inspiring figures of the time.
