Romantic Poetry William Blake
1,629 wordsAnalysis of The Lamb and The Tyger by William Blake There is no much written on Romanticism, and about all the various experts totally agree upon is that these poems fit into the Romantic genre. It is often called the romantic period, but people are still writing this kind of poetry and song, so I think it is more a type or genre. Romantic poetry used images of nature, idealistic ideas and very high spiritualistic emotions. It was very symbolic, much more so than modern poetry, which can actuall...

J D Salinger Catcher In The Rye
927 wordsCatcher in the Rye There s far more to the censorship issue than a ban on sex and four-letter words. I sometimes think that those of us who need to be the most clearheaded about these matters are planting the very trees that obscure our view of the forest, says Dorothy Briley. According to Briley, a vast amount more is needed than simply vulgar language and suggestive material to censor a novel. But this is the very reason why J. D.
