Assignment 13 Poetry Response
1. Compare your thoughts and feelings while reading "The Tyger" to those you had while reading "The Lamb."
Ans. When I read the poem “The Lamb”, I thought that it was written with some sense of gentleness, explaining the person who made the lamb.
The poems Pietà by James McAuley and November by Simon Armitage are confrontational as they revolve around the theme of life. Life, death and grief are all something that every person will experience here on earth. Life… Death… Grief…The existing themes are already confronting but with the poets application of poetic techniques the two poems are able to be effective.
“Poem at 39” and “For My Sister Molly Who In The Fifties,” written by Alice Walker, are both about the author's family. In her “Poem at 39,” she writes about her father who she says taught her a lot and, that he would admire the woman she grew up to be. In “For My Sister Molly Who in the Fifties” it tells you about her sister who is knowledgeable and nice to everyone. The tone in the “Poem at 39” is her dad was a good person and he set a good example for her. However, in “For My Sister Molly Who in the Fifties” the tone is more, my sister's cool and she knows all of these songs and stories. Even though they are both poems based on her family, they are both describing her family differently. Her dad is the focus of the first poem and it is mostly remembered what he did and what he was like and the second one was about what her sister was like.

"Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal [but] which the reader recognizes as his own." (Salvatore Quasimodo). There is something about the human spirit that causes us to rejoice in shared experience. We can connect on a deep level with our fellow man when we believe that somehow someone else understands us as they relate their own joys and hardships; and perhaps nowhere better is this relationship expressed than in that of the poet and his reader. For the current assignment I had the privilege (and challenge) of writing an imitation of William Shakespeare’s "Sonnet 87". This poem touched a place in my heart because I have actually given this sonnet to someone before as it then communicated my thoughts and feelings far better than I could. For this reason, Sonnet 87 was an easy choice for this project, although not quite so easy an undertaking as I endeavored to match Shakespeare’s structure and bring out his themes through similar word choice.

Keats’s “When I Have Fears” and Longfellow’s “Mezzo Cammin” present contemplative speakers that reflect on the subject on the inevitability of their deaths and whether their lives have been fully fulfilled. Both poets display similar structure and utilize similes and metaphors to represent their lives in order to explore their views on their deaths; however, their attitudes towards the subject differ significantly.

In his preface of the Kokinshū poet Ki no Tsurayaki wrote that poetry conveyed the “true heart” of people. And because poetry declares the true heart of people, poetry in the minds of the poets of the past believed that it also moved the hearts of the gods. It can be seen that in the ancient past that poetry had a great importance to the people of the time or at least to the poets of the past. In this paper I will describe two of some of the most important works in Japanese poetry the anthologies of the Man’yōshū and the Kokinshū. Both equally important as said by some scholars of Japanese literature, and both works contributing greatly to the culture of those who live in the land of the rising sun.

...nd lets the reader find the deeper meanings in the poem. The Tyger stands for darkness and evil, while the Lamb is exact opposite. The blacksmith in lines 13-16 symbolizes the creator. These representations affect the reader by making it not just a poem concerning animals and creation, but also about the debate of a benevolent God creating something evil.

Blake’s poem “The Lamb,” from Songs of Innocence really illustrates the innocence and purity of a young child. The persona in the poem is of a young child. The child questions the lamb as to where he came from and asks, “Little Lamb who made thee? / Dost thou know who made thee?” (9,10) The child is expecting the Lamb to answer him but it is obvious to the reader that the Lamb can’t talk. When the child receives no answer, he decides that he’ll tell the lamb where he came from. He says, “Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee!” (12). The child says: He is called by thy name for he calls himself a Lamb;
...eed a child speaking to a lamb. This image gives a sense of naïveté and innocence. He is playing with a lamb and is teaching the lamb the belief in a God. This is probably something that was taught to him, the child by his parents. Everyone in this poem can be viewed as lambs: the child (or speaker), the actual lamb, and Jesus.
