Comparing poems!

The poem Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey is not all about nature, but the majority of it is about nature. I feel like this poem is more pointing towards mysticism. You probably can't go through 5 stanzas of this poem without reading something about the "deep seclusion" of nature. Frost at Midnight is more about Platonism in my opinion. All I see that takes notice to me in this poem is that the poet is more focused on the "cradled infant." I mean there are a few times where the poet mentions the "film" of the flame, but that poet acknowledges the nature and thinks that they are unchanging ideas. So yes I think that both poems inquire nature within them, but Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey is mysticism and you could tell within the first 10 lines, and Frost at Midnight looks more like mysticism at first but as you continue on reading you could tell the main subject of the poem and you could tell that it's pointing more towards Platonism.

The connection with Frankenstein and Romanticism

 In the book Frankenstein, there are some ties to romanticism.  For example Victor Frankenstein made reflections upon himself in chapter 5 after being alone for so long. Victor dedicated his time to the monster and became very pale and anti-social and he reflected on how he never spoke to anyone.  In the early chapters though, Victor's mother was dying of scarlet fever and Victor felt really bad for it and didn't want to leave her but he had to go to college. Also on the first three chapters all Victor did was tell his early life.  How Victors parents adopted Elizabeth and how Victor and Elizabeth have to marry according to the mother.  Also Victor got scared after he created the monster because he didn't want to see it and he didn't want his friend that he hasn't talk to in a while to see it.

Blake's poems.

The two different poems are two different perspectives. The innocence poem on Holy Thursday was more of the perspective of religions is uplifting.  It shows in the poem that the children are the center of attention. They sing all together in a large group like lambs in a happy community.  This first poem shows the happiness side.  The other quiz about the experience side was more of the negative side.  The poem itself, the diction within the poem, was negative and seemed "graphic." This poem kinda shows that religion is opportunistic and they use the kids. Blake shows that innocence seems all happy but it's a coverup of the real truth, and the experience is blatantly saying what is going on, there are no coverings in experience. You know the real truth.  

    Same things goes for "The Chimney Sweeper" about the coverup and the real truth.  In the innocence part of the song with this it talks about crying at first when the mother died and the father sold him to be a chimney sweep.  After all of that though near the end of the poem, Blake makes the poem have the reader diverge off of the main subject of misery here and talks about happy endings with Tom. In the poem with experience, it just talks about how the parents abandoned the child and the child has no clue so it remains happy, but in realizations the child is all alone.
