William Blake composes two beautiful pieces of work that exemplify his ideas on the nature of creation. The two pieces‚ The Lamb and The Tyger‚ are completely opposite views‚ which give questionable doubt about most people’s outlook of creation. These two poems are meant to be interpreted in a comparison and contrast form showing the "two contrary states of a human soul." With the poems written six years apart‚ they separately come together to establish this third meaning. Obviously Blake believes

Sweet Murder We all have been there; staring at the mouthwatering desserts piled high on an end table too stuffed to even think about food‚ but the cookies just look too good to pass. After some hesitation we give ourselves about a thousand good reasons to eat them and indulge in the sugary goodness. Othello’s mind is no different. After assuming Desdemona had an affair with his lieutenant‚ Othello feels he must kill her. When Othello has the chance to his wife‚ he acts as we would with the desserts

"The Lamb" and "The Tyger" correlate to To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee in its themes of innocence and exposure. “The Lamb” discusses the topic of childhood innocence and in the novel is delineated through three characters- Scout‚ Jem‚ and Dill. They are mockingbirds who only see good things. Due to this‚ they have a black and white perspective of the world. Lee exhibits their view during the trial. The children believed that the jury would acquit Tom Robinson. There was exculpatory evidence

According to the Collins Canadian English Dictionary euthanasia is defined as “the act of killing someone painlessly‚ especially to relieve his or her suffering” (2004). Not everyone agrees with this definition. I have always believed that euthanasia was the human choice of ending another person’s life because of the excruciating pain they are suffering due to an incurable disease. Some disciplines think that euthanasia should never be an option no matter what the situation. While other disciplines

Blake’s poem‚ "The Lamb"‚ represents a spiritual exploration of innocence and purity. The description of the lamb indicates as much with imagery that reflects a sense of softness and child-like authenticity. The first word of "little" helps to create this mood throughout the poem with ideas such as "softest clothing woolly bright‚" "tender voice‚" "vales rejoicing" (symbolizing a universality regaling in the lamb’s song of innocence and purity)‚ and the description of the lamb being "meek and mild

I chose to attend the play called "Present Laughter" on Friday‚ March 2nd‚ at Fort Hays State University. It was a very well put on play and the actors did an phenomenal job.
