    The ‘Tyger’ analysis Symbol Analysis The symbol of the Tyger is one of the two central mysteries of the poem (the other being the Tyger’s creator). It is unclear what it exactly symbolizes‚ the Tyger could be inspiration‚ the divine‚ artistic creation‚ history‚ the sublime (the big‚ mysterious‚ powerful and sometimes scary‚ or vision itself. Really‚ the list is almost infinite. The point is‚ the Tyger is important‚ and Blake’s poem barely limits the possibilities. Line 7:

    Literary Background—Trends in the Victorian NovelWhen we speak of the Victorian novel we do not mean that there was a conscious school of the English novel‚ with a consciously common style and subject-matter‚ a school which began creating with the reign of Queen Victoria and which came to an end with the end of that reign.

    Symbolism The use of symbols is one of the most striking features of Blake’s poetry. There is hardly any poem written by Blake‚ which does not possess a symbolic meaning‚ besides its apparent or surface meaning. Though most of his poems are written in simple language‚ the fact does not deprive them of a deep meaning. However in order to understand Blake’s poetry at a deeper level‚ we have to know something about the symbols‚ which he makes use of. A.C.BAUGH has remarked ‚ “The mystic movement

    1 Introduction In a general sense‚ poems are personal‚ even autobiographical; they inevitably reflect‚ however directly or obliquely‚ the varied concerns and self-images of their authors.

    comparison of The child who walks backwards and A poem for Darcy The poems The child who walks backwards by Lorna Crozier and A poem for Darcy by Steven Herrick explore the issue of child abuse. The poets give very similar treatment to the theme and both poems have the same tone. In all else‚ the poems are different. Crozier makes use of language techniques throughout whereas Herrick’s poem is unadorned‚ which creates its own impact. Both poems are devastating in the social comment that they

    Good to Great By Jim Collins I found my reading of Good To Great by Jim Collins very informative and even entertaining. It is interesting to me his concepts and perceptions and how although when you read them they seem rather elementary and obvious‚ Mr. Collins is indeed an outside the box thinker/writer and it is because of his ease of explaining his concepts that the message simply comes across as easy. The main idea that is presented in this book is that “Good is the Enemy of Great.” At first
