Poem Analysis Of 'William Shakespeare By William Blake'

Have you ever felt like you were born to do something? Since I was born I felt like I was born to play baseball, but after that I would love to be a broadcaster. That is why I have chosen to analyze “The Broadcaster’s Poem” by Alden Nowlan. Analyzing a poem is not an easy thing to accomplish for me. As I very rarely analyze anything I read, but you should try everything once.

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 this poem there is a use of figurative language in the line “curled like a lamb’s back”. This simile connects Tom’s haor to a baby animal, which shows his innocence and exposes the innocence of all child laborers. Lines five, and six contains a simile comparing Tom Dacre’s hair to lamb wool. Lamb is a symbol of innocence. Line eight contains a contrast of white hair (angelic) and soot (sin). Soot cannot spoil the hair.

Melissa and Brett went diving only to find a sunken ship. They decided to explore the ship. They found a jewel in the wreckage. They decided to take the jewel to get it appraised. When suddenly they heard something behind them. What was that, asked Melissa. It sounded like a spear gun, said Brett. Two other divers appeared out of nowhere, give us that jewel, said the strangers, or you will not make it up to the surface. You are not getting this jewel, said Brett. We found it first ,said Melissa. We are the ones who sunk that ship just to get our hands on that jewel, and you are not going to ruin this for us, said one of the strangers. Our boss wants that jewel for his collection and we are not going to let him down. Who is your boss, asked

Children are always portrayed in books as angelic beings that are as close to perfect as they come. Many would suggest that this is not true, that children can be just as manipulative and conniving as adults. They cry when they do not get their way and throw tantrums that are quite obscene. However, the idea of this angelic child did not com into play until the 17th century. The poets William Blake and William Wordsworth are the two poets that coined this idea of the child. In the poems of these two authors, children are portrayed as innocent and pure beings and are closer to God than adults. Although these two poets have very different views of what children are like such as their interactions with adults, their perspective on life, and their

In "London", William Blake brings to light a city overrun by poverty and hardship. Blake discards the common, glorifying view of London and replaces it with his idea of truth. London is nothing more but a city strapped by harsh economic times where Royalty and other venues of power have allowed morality and goodness to deteriorate so that suffering and poverty are all that exist. It is with the use of three distinct metaphors; "mind-forg'd manacles", "blackning Church", and "Marriage hearse", that Blake conveys the idea of a city that suffers from physical and psychological imprisonment, social oppression, and an unraveling moral society.

The 18th and 19th century saw the beginnings of a shift in the position towards gender, as roles for women in public and professional life broadened. However, at the same time, prostitution, illegitimacy and same-sex relationships were increasingly characterized. Ideas about gender difference were consequential from classical thought, Christian ideology, and contemporary science. Men and women were thought to dwell bodies with different physical make-ups and to retain profoundly different qualities and advantages. Men, as the stronger sex, were thought to be intelligent, bold, and strong-minded. Women, on the other hand, were more overseen by their emotions, and their qualities were expected to be continence, unpretentiousness, compassion,

Blake says another line,”The mind-forged manacles I hear/How the chimney-sweeper’s cry” The first line was broad and didn’t go into much detail. In the other lines he tells us some problems that are faced. In this line he talks about how the people have chained their feelings and thoughts thus having no views and just following the society or the majority of the people.

Poets and authors alike evoke emotion and pictures from one single word. The imagery and thoughts put into the readers’ heads by these different writers are the base of one’s creativity and imagination while reading the author’s work of art. William Shakespeare is one of the most well-known poets of all time that is able to elicit these emotions from the reader to allow the reader to fully understand what Shakespeare is trying to accomplish with his poems. Shakespeare keeps his audience entertained with a whopping 154 sonnets, each having a different meaning and imagery associated with it. Sonnet 18, “[Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day]”, and Sonnet 55, “[Not Marble, nor the Gilded Monuments]”, are both one of Shakespeare’s most famous works. Shakespeare uses these sonnets to explore the powerful relationship between humanity, art, and time.

Hey, stop staring at my boobs…. Yeah, I have boobs so what? Like two hands, two legs, two ears. I have two boobs? Boobs are just a part of our body. When my eyes speak, you eye at my boobs. Are you biologically programmed to stare at boobs. Nature has given nipples to man and woman. You could take your shirt off and walk down on a road, post selfies on Instagram no one cares but if I do, it would be the greatest crime of the century and a lewd exposure of my body done with the intent to arouse the sexual desire of other person. Just because it’s hidden, and yours does not bloat like ours? Just because our boobs have sizes? And so male nipple never been as socially sexualized as female nipples.

Beautiful. That is how I would describe her. Rayah Lou’ren Gibson was the absolute light of my life. She was born on Thursday, August 14th, 2008. She was not my biological daughter, but she was and always will be my baby girl—my little princess. I often called her my angel. She loved dancing and singing, she loved the movie Frozen, the song, “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?”, and her favorite color was purple. She loved her friends, especially Alina.

William Blake's "London" is a representative of English society as a whole, and the human condition in general that outlines the socio-economic problems of the time and the major communal evils.

Additionally, Blake uses imagery to set the scene of what life is like of the children during the Industrial Revolution. The imagery in this poem makes the whole thing come alive nevertheless, the poem seems more like a reality. The imagery presents what the children are thinking of and processing while they are mistreated. The way Blake wrote this poem sets an indescribable image to readers. Such as, “There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head, / That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved;” (5-6). The diction that Blake uses in this line is so fascinating. As people read it, they imagine a saturnine child who is upset with beautiful curly locks and it is so heartbreaking because, poor Tom did not want to lose his hair. Tom Dacre has

William Blake is one of England’s most famous literary figures. He is remembered and admired for his skill as a painter, engraver, and poet. He was born on Nov. 28, 1757 to a poor Hosier’s family living in or around London. Being of a poor family, Blake received little in the way of comfort or education while growing up. Amazingly, he did not attend school for very long and dropped out shortly after learning to read and write so that he could work in his father’s shop. The life of a hosier however was not the right path for Blake as he exhibited early on a skill for reading and drawing. Blake’s skill for reading can be seen in his understanding for and use of works such as the Bible and Greek classic literature.

William Blake was one of those 19th century figures who could have and should have been beatniks, along with Rimbaud, Verlaine, Manet, Cezanne and Whitman. He began his career as an engraver and artist, and was an apprentice to the highly original Romantic painter Henry Fuseli. In his own time he was valued as an artist, and created a set of watercolor illustrations for the Book of Job that were so wildly but subtly colored they would have looked perfectly at home in next month's issue of Wired.
