The Little Black Boy
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the poem of the same title by William
Blake. In the examination of this poem we illustrate three separate themes within the
poem. These themes are innocence, faith, and lack of worth. By illustrating these themes
we gain a very accurate picture of the speaker and learn things about innocence and
experience. Unlike other poems, which illustrate innocence as something to be treasured,
this poem illustrates a sad innocence that is better grown out of. No additional sources
cited.

The Tyger, The Lamb, & The Mill In William Blake
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing how the use of image or metaphor in three of William Blake's poems can both illuminate and cloud his meaning. The paper shows that if the concepts being alluded to are well-known and well-understood, reference to them enhances the intelligibility of the poem, but if the sources are themselves obscure, reference to them only makes the poem more difficult to understand. No additional sources cited.

William Blake's 'Songs of Experience'
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper that takes the view that Blake believes the enjoyment of life is tainted by circumstances and religion. As an advocate against poverty, Blake's view of Eve's fall from grace takes on the dimensions of the wandering and abused Lycra. Blake's collection identifies those things that brought him joy and those things that were anathema to a true enjoyment of life. By the end of his life, his emotions are shielded in defense. No additional sources cited.

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). No additional sources cited.

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.
