    The Lamb‚ the Tyger‚ and the Creator William Blake writes about the origin of life and its creator through his two poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger.” He uses these two poems to depict different aspects of the world’s creator. In “The Lamb‚” Blake takes a passive approach to discuss creation. He uses a lamb to exemplify his point‚ and depicts a warm creator.

    La Fontaine’s fable “The Wolf and the Lamb” or “Le Loup et l’Agneau” in French deals with the injustices that befall the innocent thru the use of irony. The tale itself is about a Wolf who has come to the same pond as the Lamb for a drink‚ when he begins to accuse the Lamb of things he has never done. Enraged at the Lamb’s rebuttal he attacks the Lamb with the excuse of the “debt” owed to himself. To start the Wolf of this story can be seen as a person of his power‚ most likely politically due to

    Have you ever seen someone killed with a lamb leg? Neither have I. “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl is the obvious choice for a movie adaptation. “Lamb to the Slaughter” will make a better and more enjoyable movie adaptation Than “The Dinner Party” by Mona Gardner‚ because “Lamb to the Slaughter” has a well developed main character‚ room for a sequel‚ and is a much longer story. “Lamb to the Slaughter” has a well-developed character that can and will be explored in a movie adaptation which

    Imagery and symbolism The imagery used in the first stanza draws on familiar natural objects but can also be read at another level in the light of Rossetti’s knowledge of the Bible.

    William Blake contain complementary poems that each shed light on one another.

When he asks‚ "Little Lamb‚ who made thee?" it is a symbolic reference to the wonder of creation and Blake’s

    Theme of lamb to the slaughter The short story I have chosen is lamb to the slaughter by Roald Dahl. I have chosen this short story because I like crime and mystery stories. There are many themes in lamb to the slaughter but the two that have caught my attention are “what goes around comes around” and “two are better than one”. These themes come up more than once in the story and in my opinion are very important to the moral or lesson of the story. The idea of “what goes around
