This piece is called an "Illuminated Text." Illuminated texts intrigue students to perform a close reading on a piece of literature. In order to insert a hypertext for a specific word or a line, a student must be able to understand the subtext. They should be able to comprehend the denotation and the connotation of words, sentences, paragraphs, and eventually the whole work of art. By performing such an activity, students will incorporate technology in order to convey their analysis and critical thinking.

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; |
|
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. |
|
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, |
|
And in some perfumes is there more delight |
|
That music hath a far more pleasing sound; |
|
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare |
|
As any she belied with false compare. |
