William Blake Good afternoon, fellow classmates and Mrs. Kolar, today I will be talking about different techniques used by William Blake to convey attitudes, beliefs and ideas about people and their experiences in his poetry. The first poem I will talk about is from ‘songs of innocence’ ‘The Lamb’; William Blake uses several techniques in this poem such as rhyme, symbolism and alliteration. In the text, “he is meek and mild” is used to create a sense that the lamb does not question anything and accepts it just like a child. Blake also uses symbolism “he is called by thy name, for he calls himself a lamb” this is symbolic that the lamb is Jesus, “gods lamb”. Alliteration with “little lamb” throughout the poem emphasis the innocents with the child and the lamb. These are some of the techniques used by William Blake to convey attitudes, beliefs and ideas about people and their experiences in his poetry. The second poem I will talk about is ‘the Tyger’ from ‘songs of experience’. William Blake uses a variety of techniques to convey attitudes, beliefs and ideas. Some of these techniques are repetition, symbolism and rhyme. The use of repetition through ‘tyger tyger’ emphasis that William Blake cannot understand how someone could create a feared and vicious creature. Blake also has symbolism ‘the tyger’ symbolises all the evil and bad things in the world and is a contrast to his ‘songs of innocence’ poem ‘the lamb’. Throughout the poem, rhyme is used “chain, and brain” this reinforces what Blake is trying to convey to the reader how the tyger stands for all the bad things in society. This is how William Blake conveys attitudes, beliefs and ideas about people and their experiences in his poetry. Thank you for listen to my speech!
