Comparing Life Of Pi And The Tyger By William Blake

The Tyger” takes a unique look into the human soul in comparison to a tiger. This poem was written for Blake’s 1794 collection entitled Songs of Experience which contained

Unlike the lamb this poems meaning is something different I believe. In my opinion this poem can be interpreted as a response to the industrialization that Britain was going through during the time of Blake. I think we first see this in the title “The Tyger” or tiger misspelled. When you think of a tiger you think of ruthlessness, ferocity, fast acting, just as the industrialization of Britain. This theme is very common through out Blake’s pieces as we see it in almost every poem. It is present in “The Chimney Sweeper” and “London”. Blake paints an image of what the tiger represents through out this poem and its harsh nonetheless, which further makes me believe that he is talking about the revolution. I believe that the description of the tyger that Blake gives us an insight to think that it is unpleasant and hurtful, not necessarily the tyger itself but the revolution that is tied in with it. We see the word “dread” repeatedly used in describing the tyger and we can draw a conclusion to say that it puts an emphasis on the pain and suffering that was

In this essay I will take the time to review two stories both of the fiction nature. I will discuss the conflicts of both stories as well as the plot structure. I will talk about the characters and give my point of view. Both stories are very thought provoking which should make this very interesting to compare and contrast.

Finally, both works are travel tales, which expose the main characters to many perspectives. This allows the authors to satirize many aspects of society.

Looking at a powerful animal in fascination sends a lot of questions through one’s head. Even with God’s amazing design, this wonder can easily be switched to dismay. William Blake, the author of “The Tyger,” fulfills this interpretation of wonder. In this poem, the speaker seems to be watching a Tiger with great interest. Noticing how much power this animal possesses, our main character states a question as to why God would make such a perfectly dangerous creature. Moving forward in the poem, this question remains unanswered.

Although both texts are varied in their representation they both still present a variety of the same general themes, such as facing inner conflict and the eternal pressures or expectations that are thrust upon the main protagonist. William Blake is an

Discovery is the act of finding something for the first time or the act of rediscovering something. Discovery can be meaningful in ways that may be emotional, creative, intellectual, physical and spiritual. They can lead us to new understanding of the world. Two composers whose work reflects these notions are ‘Life of Pi’ by Ang Lee and ‘Pretty’ by Katie Makkai. Ang Lee’s film version of Life of Pi (2002) is an adaptation of Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi. Life of Pi is a ground breaking movie event about a young boy who survives a disaster which takes place in the middle of the ocean and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. But Pi forms an unexpected relationship with another survivor which is Richard Parker. Similarly

Both author’s descriptions of the characters as they take their journeys also can be linked by several similarities with a few underlying differences. With such a connection, it leads to the question of why and how the two works are so different. It seems as though the author's background and life prior to these literary masterpieces plays

As a reader, one has to compare and contrast pieces of literature one reads. Although, one doesn't realize it at the moment many of the literature one reads has a lot in common, it's easier to recognize similarities in literature written by one author. Comparing and contrasting pieces of literature truly help a reader grow. It helps one understand the literature and the writer even better. Robert Browning was a very well known for his poems Life in a Love and Porphyria's Lover. These two poems have a lot in common, and a lot of differents. There are two ways these two poems are greatly alike and one way they are different.

Is it conceivable to compare two poets that appear to be uniquely different from each other and compare and contrast their famous pieces of literature? It may be unimaginable to consider that there are similarities between Emily Dickenson’s “I’m Nobody! Who are You?” and Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myslef”, formerly known as Leaves of Grass, but there are definitely similarities. However, it is important to identify the differences between the two poets first .

Tyger is a poem that strongly focuses on the concepts of religious beliefs and nature. The poem is made up of six stanzas all asking questions about how god could create such a thing and when he started, how he could continue to create such a beast. The first and last stanza of the poem are the same except, instead of asking who could create tiger he asks who dare create the tiger. Blake compares the creator to the blacksmith and uses the beat of the poem to represent god hammering the tiger into existence. Through out this poem Blake asks why god could create such a thing of beauty and sorrow and how humans could live in a world with both beauty and horror. This poem focuses on nature and god making it a great example of how romantics were influenced by their

In Life of Pi, Pi Patel tells the story about the animals to cope with his feeling of loss and to answer questions such as "how can this happen?" and "How can one person be so animal like by killing and and eating another person?. He substitutes the animals into the fantasy to represent the people in the more believable story. During his time at sea, Pi makes up the animal story to distract himself from the reality of loss and his situation. Pi says, "He hurled something my way. A line of blood struck me

These two texts have both consonant and disparate concepts that surely contrast and compare to each other astutely, which consist of their respective plots, the personas of the main protagonists, and the edifying influence of their themes.

Both works of literature is composed around the characters’ challenging lives. These characters are exhausted of their situation. They want to escape, but must overcome a looming hurdle. Fear, fear of failing, is their biggest hurdle and influence. These works takes the reader on a journey into discovering the characters’ choices and reasoning.

The archetype of this poem focuses on how aggressive and vicious the tiger is. It also can be seen as a more physical comparison such as, “Tyger Tyger, burning bright,” (line 1, page 749). Blake says the tiger is burning bright, but does not mean this literally, for he is comparing the color of the tiger to the color of fire. Blake does insult God for creating the creature because all it does is kill and destroy. The tiger also has more power. In which, the Songs of Experience poems are related to those that are leaders, fighters, and that are more outspoken; therefore, The Tyger fits more perfectly with that collection of
