rebellious being because the creator “dared” to create such a creature like the Tyger as mentioned in the last line of the poem. In the beginning of Ginsberg’s poem he says “Cool black night through redwoods” in line 7 he says “at 3 A.M. the blast of loudspeakers…” These are both indicators that it’s night time.

So naturally, when my mom proposed I run a 5k, which is about three times more than what I’ve ever run before, I laughed it off and followed it with a sarcastic “Yeah… I’ll think about it.” I guess I wasn’t sarcastic enough because within a few hours I received an email from my mom that showed that I was registered and all race dues were paid for.
