The Tyger” takes a unique look into the human soul in comparison to a tiger. This poem was written for Blake’s 1794 collection entitled Songs of Experience which contained

such a terrifying beast?” and “Who is God who dares to make such a terrifying

The poem, “A Poison Tree,” by William Blake, and the short story, “Enemies, by Tim O’Brien share a theme that suppressing anger and wrath may lead to a violent result. One can learn this theme through the poem’s first person point of view and the story’s omniscient narrator.

Before watching your presentation, I only knew the basics regarding William Blake. There are various interesting things that you mentioned that I did not know about. For example, you mentioned how he was more commonly known for his art rather than his poems. His art as a whole is really interesting. You mentioned how he took his encounters with the people around him, his brother’s death, and visions and reflected them into his work. One thing from that list that stood out to me the most were his visions. He was able to take his visions and portray them in his paintings even when many people found it difficult to understand the meanings behind it.

In the poem “The Tyger” by William Blake, the use of rhyme, repetition, allusion, and symbolism all help the reader understand the theme and what was going through the authors thoughts while writing. William Blake was a mystic poet who channeled his thoughts and questions to write poems. He questioned the creator of both the Tyger and lamb, how could the same God create a destructive creature like the Tyger and on the other hand create a gentle animal, the lamb. This ties into the theme of the poem of how a God could and would create a monster like the Tyger.

More specifically, in Blake’s poem, the infant, the youth, soldiers symbolize the innocent. They are mistreated; infants are screamed at when they had to be cared for, young girls becoming sinful at a young age, soldiers “sigh” for bad fortune. Blake also shows how the society has become slaves in “mind forged manacles”. The society has restriction. The government is in some ways responsible for creating the bad. Also in the novel, two crimes of violence against innocent to helpless citizens took place, first, a little girl, and second, an elderly man. These victims had nothing to do with the choices that people made for

On January 1st, 2017, a gang held an alleyway waiting for people to come through so they and take their money. The alley was very dark. People came through the alley at nights and trashed the alley, cracking windows, leaving cigarettes on the dirty spray-painted ground littered with sharp shards of glass from a broken window. Their leader, Kole Blazer, was there in the rooftops, waiting for someone to come through, when he saw someone betray his gang: Mike Blazer, his brother. Kole was taller than him by only a few inches. He had brown hair, freckles, blue eyes, more muscular than his brother who was always the weaker one, but they were twins and he wanted to keep a secret. His brother betrayed them and now it’s time for payback.

A story of creation, ruthless murdering, and revenge originate a literary work that seems as though it should be analyzed independently (Brackett 1). While one might relate the monster’s instincts directly to evil, the acts and concept of the monster should be analyzed separately. Nevertheless, the id principles displayed through the monster characterize the instinctive force that separates the monster from humaneness.

The human race is often so blinded by evil, desire, and rage that they unleash unconditional destruction on anything they touch. Humans require order and society to function, otherwise they succumb to anarchy. William Golding instructs us not to embrace, but spurn evil through the use of the belligerent character Jack, the passive use of Simon, and Jack’s mask.

The world has evolved from wars and violence. The wars have created new countries and allowed the dominance of new religions. Warnings of the risks of violence cover the world, in school, television, and stories. The four stories “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allen Poe, “The Interlopers” by Saki, “By the Waters of Babylon” by Stephen Benét, and “There Will Come Soft Rains” all compare the dangers of violence, however the pairing of the first two detail the perspective during the violent acts, and the pairing of the final two describe the consequences the wars leave for years afterward.

In order to exist in nature and in human, innocence requires experience. The author, William Blake divided his poems into two volumes which are Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. “The Lamb” is the poem from Songs of Innocence and “The Tyger” is from Songs of Experience. In “The Lamb,” Blake writes in an incomplex, childlike way asking an innocent lamb who made it. In “The Tyger,” Blake asks who could have possibly made something as formidable as the tiger. William Blake uses archetypes in his poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger.”

“EWW!”, went the crowd when Blake fell to the ground. When Blake hit the ground, the turf did not give much at all. Furthermore, it resulted in him breaking his leg. To play on the turf, was a bad idea we all knew. Mr. Ray, athletic trainer, put his leg in a boot and gave him a pair of crutches to use. The next day Coach Topps sent a group message saying, “Guys, keep Blake in your prayers and visit him as teammates should. Because we are a family and that is what family’s do.” Not only did many go see Blake, but also many prayed for him. Although Blake continues to get better, he still has a long way to go to recovery.

Before being good or bad, human beings are just humans who have to live with their own nature, which they sometimes cannot control. Man can do good or evil but he always makes it with a unique purpose, his personal satisfaction, because it is simply in his nature. Thus, human beings aware of good and evil are confronted with conflicting choices but they never act against their will. The poem, “The Human Abstract”, written by William Blake reflects on these characteristics of human beings and demonstrates how they are unconsciously corrupted by their own nature in a selfish way.

By popular thinking of that day, disorientating violence exacted on the community can only be dealt with through an equal and opposite reaction of violence toward the exacter. An old saying throughout Europe goes ‘Do not hunt monsters, lest you wish to become one yourself.’ Yet, his order and disorder themes lend greatly to the senses of symbolism in the story.
