Remember

eaiad — 2025-03-06 06:56:38 UTC

Who is the speaker? What is their situation?
Who are they speaking to?
What are they telling them?
How does the poet describe the process of dying?
What does she want her lover to do when she is dead?
Does she expect her lover to remember her all the time?
Will she be upset if he doesn’t?
Does she expect to remember her lover?
Is the speaker’s message consistent throughout the poem or does it change?

Look for quotes that reflect how the speaker wants to be remembered.

"The Tyger" by William Blake

eaiad — 2025-03-11 05:31:49 UTC

1.The speaker directly addresses a tiger, imagining its bright flashes of color in the dark night-time forest. The speaker asks which immortal being could possibly have created the tiger's fearsome beauty.

2.The speaker wonders in which far-off depths or skies the tiger's fiery eyes were made. Did the tiger's creator have wings, and whose hand would be daring enough to create the tiger?

3.The speaker imagines the kind of effort and skill that must have gone into creating the tiger, wondering who would be strong enough to build the tiger's muscular body. Whose hands and feet were the ones that made the tiger's heart start beating?

4.The speaker wonders about the tools the tiger's creator must have used, imagining that the tiger's brain was created in a forge. What terrifying being would be so daring as to create the tiger?

5.The speaker mentions a time when the stars gave up their weapons and rained their tears on heaven. At this time, wonders the speaker, did the creator look at the tiger and smile at his accomplishment? And was the tiger made by the same creator who made the lamb?

6.The speaker addresses the tiger again, this time wondering not just who could create this fearsome beast—but who would dare.
