I chose to write about‚ “The Sick Rose‚” by William Blake. I found this poem to be very interesting. It can be interpreted in many different ways.

The use of children is a prominent theme in William Blake’s poems. He sees the world through the eyes of a child and embraces the innocence of the young. He illustrates this style in poems such as "the lamb"‚ "the little black boy"‚ and "the chimney sweeper". The lamb really illustrates the innocence and purity of a young child.

With the very few assignments left to do as I wrap up my spring term‚ J 101 has taught more things than any other class and completely changed the way I view English grammar now.
