1. Shakespeare's word choice shows the season very well. He uses the five senses to help the reader get a better picture of the image he is trying to portray. For example, he tells us about the yellow leaves and how they are barely hanging like they are in the fall.

2. The time and the season are significant in this sonnet because it shows the mood. The sonnet is about how somone is holding on to life and how it can quickly be taken away, that in which the sun is going down. It also shows that the leaves are falling in which they do in fall.
