William Blake's 'The Lamb' / Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page paper argues that William Blake is writing one day and has doubts about who he is and why he is here (the meaning of life). At first, he subscribes to the idea that he is great because he was made in God's image, and he is God's son, just like 'The Lamb,' Jesus. Feeling guilt for his egotistical thoughts, Blake tries to undo what might be seen as disapproval from on high, so he sets out to humble himself and explain himself in terms of 'meek' and 'mild,' praising the Son, and otherwise asking for forgiveness. Once he has seen the simplicity and value in the lines scribbled, he then decides the poem is worthy of sharing, which all ties back into God's plan for him (the meaning of his life).

William Blake's 'The Lamb' / Educating The Lost
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page paper postulates that 'The Lamb' by William Blake is an epistle for change, in which Blake makes a point of explaining the use of God-given gifts inherent in humans. These gifts are in the form of thought/intellect and the inner quiet voice that, when understanding is achieved, can then be translated to verbalization. Blake's plea is to directed at those who speak before thinking, especially in relationship to an understanding of the God-designed flow of life.

William Blake's 'The Lamb' vs. 'The Tyger'
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper that posits that William Blake's 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger' are songs that speak of choice. The choice is both for quality of life and choice for after-life, because if the choice is not made in the instant, it is too late. Making specific comparisons in the visual aesthetics created by the two poems, the writer makes the argument that the choice, according to Blake, is the choice between freedom in 'the Lamb' and enslavement by 'the Devil.'

William Blake's 'The Lamb' vs. 'The Tyger' / Symmetry
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper that posits that Blake knew what he was writing about in 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger.' Although the Lamb is perceived as strictly the 'good path,' it is not the poem which speaks of symmetry. That information is provided in 'The Tyger.' This paper argues that while the message in 'The Lamb' may lead to God, so does the message in 'The Tyger.' Being creations of God, both the tiger and the lamb are necessary to individual progress. The true answer lies in balance, or symmetry.

The Poetry of Misery
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of six poems: Arnold's 'Dover Beach,' Auden's 'Musee des Beaux Arts,' Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan,' Brooke's 'The Soldier,' Shelly's 'Song to the Men of England,' and Wordsworth's 'The world is too much with us.' The writer argues that all six portray the ability of poetry to relate the dark side of human existence, This aspect of poetry is particularly evident beginning with the advent of the Industrial Revolution. The drastic changes that accompanied the transformation from economies that were primarily agrarian to the industrialized world we know today caused considerable psychic stress and a generous portion of human misery. Poets, over the last two centuries, have addressed this topic. No additional sources cited.
