The Tyger by Mckye turner https://padlet.com/kysie21/z1qekfalspgdqso7 William Blake's poetry en-us 2020-09-16 08:52:09 UTC 2020-09-17 00:36:31 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f405.png charlotte - OWI https://padlet.com/kysie21/z1qekfalspgdqso7/wish/753549558 2020-09-17 00:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kysie21/z1qekfalspgdqso7/wish/753549558 Domonique OWI Sneaker https://padlet.com/kysie21/z1qekfalspgdqso7/wish/753559496 Observe: 
The poem rhymes to flow better. Dark tones on the tiger in the painting symbolize impurity as a tiger is a predator. ‘Did he who made the Lamb make thee?’ could mean did Jesus who made something so pure also make something that can cause havoc and destruction. 

Wonder: 
What inspired Blake to write two poems that are different but still connect?

Infer: 
With all the questions, it seems as if Blake if writing about ‘what the heck’ went through God’s mind when he made the tiger. The poem almost gives a sense of confusion as to why God would make the tiger after making a perfect and innocent as a lamb.

Blake conveys the tiger in a really negative way, this could be because it is a predator, compared to the lamb as prey.

Wonder: why does he portray the tiger in such a negative light? He seems to describe the tiger with words that could lead to people relating it with hell, is Blake trying to convey that tiger may be from hell? Or created by the devil? 

Infer: Blake see’s the tiger as something that is evil. The way he describes the tiger makes it possible to think that he believes it was created in hell, by God’s counterpart. He references the lamb, which  is known as perfect, pure and innocent, and the poem conveys his confusion or disbelief that God would then create the tiger and be proud of it. . The line “frame thy fearful symmetry” is said twice, which could mean that he finds the symmetry, or asymmetry, between the lamb and the tiger to be frightening.
