While Darl was there laughing at him on the horse, and sitting right next to his dead mother’s coffin.

She felt that was wrong. Than later on in the chapters DArl and Cash kept on having flashblacks on Jewel’s life when their mother was alive.

Reading Response To “The Lamb” by William Blake

I thought this poem was cute but kind of boring. He’s talking about a lamb and I mean, how much can you write about a baby sheep? It’s about the innocence of a lamb and its soft wool. Then at the end of the poem, he compares himself to a lamb. Because he has the qualities of a lamb such as being meek and mild. It’s kind of creepy if you think about it. He might be talking about something in the bible because sometimes the bible mentions a lamb so maybe he’s talking about that kind of lamb.

The Lamb and The Tyger response

After a long inward debate with myself, I decided that it is better if I respond to both “The Lamb” and “the Tyger” poems by William Blake simultaneously, so I can fully express my thoughts about them. Even if these two were made years apart, I know that they are connect , these two poems are a classic case of opposites, first off the names seem alike — using the animal’s name as the title, but notice how Blake spells “tyger” almost as if he is afraid to say is properly as to incur the tigers wrath. Both poems are set up alike as well, with the lamb he complements how soft its coat is and how tender its voice can be, as if making the creature so fragile that it can break on the slightest show of strength; with the tyger however, he compares it the fire itself — wild, uncontrollable, dangerous, and able to consume everything in sight. And most importantly, Blake, with both the lamb and the tyger, asks them both the question of who made them, as to inquire about the thought process of the cosmic being and how this being can produce such extreme opposites so completely. but in the end though, it is obvious that Blake is questioning not the meekness of the lamb or the voracity of the tyger, instead he is conflicted about the nature of us, for if the universe can make such pinnacles of weakness and strength, kindness and malevolence, light and darkness such as these, than what is man’s place in the spectrum of good and evil, are we lambs to the slaughter or tygers on the prowl

P.S.: I am aware that the poem “The Tyger” may not had been part of the homework, but after ready them both I knew that doing either of them separately would weaken the powerful focus of the whole
