shown through characters, which are fundamentally flawed which means that authors get to explore human nature through the guise of human already shaped by life. But, there are still discrepancies between what authors think they are portraying. In comparing Beloved by Toni Morrison and Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake, it is of my opinion that Beloved is ultimately more optimistic about human nature. It may seem counterintuitive to think of a slave-horror novel as being a…

burning down she realizes that everything she owns is the property of God, and he can take it whenever He wants. Anne Bradstreet's realization is common belief in Puritanism, "To counter and cover the exploration of Puritan theology in this plaintive cry for help in “Upon the Burning of Our House,” Bradstreet acknowledges the right of God to take what has been loaned" ().

Experience have been read in tandem since they were first published together in 1794, it can be easy to overlook that Songs of Innocence was once a work that stood on its own. However, looking at Songs of Innocence as an individual work allows the reader to step back from its role as a comparison to Songs of Experience. This separation makes the inherent dark themes in Songs of Innocence more difficult to ignore. One of those themes presents itself in failing fathers, both natural and divine. To…

By studying this poem, the ultimate lesson I have learned is the importance of the role of war photographers. Pictures are taken with the peril of death as they get hold of the unfeigned shots with their teary eyeballs at the view of “children running in a nightmare heat”. I believe that sometimes one image can illustrate better than a thousand words. War photographers witness daily horror. Simultaneously, they are in a position where we can commemorate the things war leaves us behind…
