Click here to visit another student blog about William Blake.

"The Best Blake Blog that's Better than the "Best Blake Blog,"" is written by fellow classmates Austin Schwartz, Erika Hewgley, Veronica Sanchez, and MJ Roy, who are also studying romanticism.They have chosen William Blake as their main topic. Included in their blog are various Blake poems, original poems, Blake's plates and painting and their personal interpretations of William's work. This site is very thorough by maintaining a solid understanding the complex themes of the beloved William Blake

I enjoy this blog intensely, the layout is very well put together. The aesthetics are pleasing and aren't distracting in any way. These students break down the poetry in a way that is so easily understood. Most students are turned off by The Romanticism era simply because the literature is difficult to understand at a first glance. It is evident 'The Hottest People In Turner's Class" know very well what these poems are conveying. They give a great insight on views I never thought of before.

MJ Roy also analyzed "The Tyger" he compared humans to tigers, something I never would have thought of. He said, " God created the tiger, just as he created us, are we not as destructive as a tiger? Do we not kill animals and eat them?" That connected with me; humans are similar to tigers. We disregard life for our own benefit. 

I found the "Biography of William Blake" particularly useful. It gives so much more insight on why Blake wrote of God and nature. Blake had many experiences as a young man that influe3nced his writing that I had once not known.

Anyone who is interested in furthering their knowledge of this magnificant poet, they should definitely check out that blog.
