is nice and one is mean. In one of the poems it is questioned if the tyger is created by God. The poems are alike in various ways. You will notice while reading that the poems rhyme. In “The Tyger” William had a sense of rhyming when he stated “Tyger tyger‚ burning bright‚ in the forest of the night;” this makes me think the tyger is in the forest waiting on its prey.
