Community Post on William Blake

William Blake

     After reading the post "The Songs and of Experience," I have learned many new facts about William Blake. This article consisted of many aspects. The part that I thought was most interesting was how the author of this post, Katelyn Meeks focused on discussing how Blake used biblical references and also how he helped our era. In her post, she mentioned how Blake had a huge imagination. Being a poet in the romantic era required one to have a large imagination. A big part of the romantic era was having a flexible imagination.
     A key part of William Blake's poetry is his imagination. Early in the post Katelyn talked about how William Blake uses personification to relate to biblical references. Out of their whole blog I chose this article because it had many interesting facts and I liked how Katelyn talked about how Blake uses his character's in more than one poem. I believe that the most valid point made in this article was that how Blake would use his imagination to form his poetry. Whether it be how Blake used animals to describe humans, or even some of his views on nature. I think that this blog is important because it speaks the valid truth on William Blake and it has many great facts about how Blake forms his poetry. I think that everyone who sees this blog will learn how Blake wrote and developed his poetry. One who knows nothing about Romanticism could learn how the romantic era reflected a lot about nature and imagination from this blog post.
      I believe that this blog post is accurate and valid. Many that look at this blog post will realize that William Blake was also a painter, along with a great poet. In this particular post, she talked about how children are truly different than adults. Blake had many different topics as a poet. Even though he had different topics, Blake often used the same characters. Someone with no experience with romanticism can learn a lot from this blog post. I enjoyed how she used many facts about William Blake, I learned many new facts.
