London- London is divided into four stanzas (known as quatrains) with an ABAB rhyming scheme. This gives it a very simple rhythm, which reflects its place as a song in Blake's collection]]> 2020-06-17 08:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630221090 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630232168
The voice is the first person singular, and seems to be a persona created by the poet, so that the poem can be categorised as a dramatic monologue. Ultimately, the views are those of the poet; an intelligent, analytical, yet enormously compassionate observer.]]> 2020-06-17 09:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630232168 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630236038 Quote is juxtaposition.
It contrasts how the chimney sweepers are very innocent and dirty and how the church at the time was clean but rather corrupt. The word ‘blackening’ connotes that the Church is corrupt and immoral. William Blake is suggesting that the Church have failed at their job, as if they wanted to help those in need, there would not be any chimney sweepers.]]> 2020-06-17 09:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630236038 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630533577 2020-06-17 13:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630533577 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630539505 2020-06-17 13:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630539505 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630540780 2020-06-17 13:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630540780 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630543196 2020-06-17 13:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630543196 cilomee https://padlet.com/16rajkhan/yg69x5wfwk0zgzq6/wish/630547587 The sea: the traditional way of life and its close links to the sea have a timeless quality. | Mentions of fishing boats, different types of fish, the 'green-blue translucent sea', the shore, pebbles, 'the turbulent inrush of breakers', 'salt-sodden', 'awash'. | The pilot remembers details of the games he played with his brothers, the colours and patterns of the fish and the taste of the sea salt.
