Blakes Little Girl Lost
984 words
A Little GIRL Lost from Songs of Experience is one
of Blakes most important poems. Though judging the
aesthetic value of a poem is nearly impossible, I
would contend that A Little Girl Lost is better
than The Little Girl Lost found in Songs of
Innocence. Perhaps because A Little Girl Lost was
composed as an afterthought to its original
counterpart, having been first written in
Innocence, it acts as a conclusion to the original
poem. The two poems both observe a young girl as
she encounters a wor...

A man stands in front of a priest, turns and looks
into the eyes of a woman and says, I do. The woman
now turns and repeats the same sacred words. On
hearing this, the priest pronounces the two,
husband and wife, and declares, What God has put
together let no man put apart. Marriage is perhaps
the most obvious commitment two people can make,
and for some, one of the most sacred. When one has
made a commitment, it is their obligation to
commit the action they are bound to perform and if
necessary...

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Claudius And Gertrude

It seems that it is human nature to want to please
others, but compromising ones values in order to
do so can result in people getting hurt
emotionally or physically. In William
Shakespeare's Hamlet, the desire to please those
in authority overweigh's the judgement of many
characters. These characters are more interested
in pleasing those in power than doing what is in
their best interest. This is seen in Polonious'
eager attempt to use Ophelia, in Rosencrantz and

in 1788, were considered primitive by the British,
if considered at all. But Aboriginal laws and
customs had lasted hundreds of years, based on

Aboriginal beliefs, and were passed down the
generations by word-of-mouth instead of written
down. Being over 500 tribes (each with it's own
clans) in Australia at one point, there were many
variations to their...

profound significance. It contains an important
lesson that guides or rather should guide people
through life. By admitting that nobody is perfect,
