Conclusion “The Lamb” is a Christian poem written by William Blake that utilizes a lamb to symbolize and explain how God created everything in the universe.
Blake reminds the reader that Christ has provided everything from food to clothing to life in general. “The Lamb” was meant to spark a renewal in one’s religious beliefs. In addition, the idea of simplicity and purity in thought is evident in the structure of “The Lamb.” Not only is the poem short in length, but it also makes use of simple word choices. In comparison to “The Lamb” which promotes total faith and devotion to God, William Blake’s poem “The Tyger” focuses on the ideas of religion and creationism versus nature in a more questioning light. “The Lamb” presents creation in a simplistic light of all things being made by God, where as “The Tyger” seeks to understand the motivation behind creation.
The Tyger is something more sinister and complicated. Like in this quote “Could twist the sinews of thy heart?/And when thy heart began to beat,/ What dread hand? & what dread feet? (Lines 10-12).” An article by Martin Price, Called Songs of Innocence and Experience, states that “The Lamb, the creator “calls himself a Lamb/ He is meek, & he is mild;/He became a little child.” In The Tyger the creator again is like what he creates… (Martin 17).” Which shows my early statement about Blake’s The Lamb and The Tyger. A similarity between the two poems by Blake would have to be the
ENGL 102-B11 Fall B 2012 John Whitley Turabian Style Thesis Statement William Blake’s poem “Tyger” is a brilliant use of symbolic imagery that seeks to find out who is this mysterious creator of both the lamb and the Tyger. Can the hand that formed the innocent lamb really be the same one that forged the fierce Tyger? Outline I. The main theme of the poem. A.
However, judging by the contrast in the animals in terms of the innocence of the lamb and the violent power of the tiger, Blake illuminates two sides of creation – the passivity of the lamb in the delicacy of its existence, and the overwhelming power of the tiger which shows the capacity for potency within nature, thus evoking the creative potential of God. In Blake’s “The Lamb”, the care with which the poet constructs his verse reflects the delicacy of the animal itself. Blake treats his subject with a gentleness that befits the animal. In the poem Blake speaks to the animal with a simplicity that is normally reserved for talking to the very young, asking the lamb in an almost playful manner “dost thou

I am catholic and this is completely different from how we believe we get sick. They believe that the spirit leaves your body and you become sick. We believe that if you sin there will be a consequence and getting sick is one of them. This is a way God punishes you after you have sinned or have done something bad. The Hmong people believe that our soul is connected to the soul of animals and that is why they sacrifice an animal for the return of there soul.
The question of identity wants the answer to “What does it mean to be human?” and “Are humans more important than animals?” Christians believe that humans were indeed made in the likeness of God (Gen.1:26) and that we were put here to look after and protect this wonderful Earth that God created for us. Humans are more important than animals in the sense that we are dominant over them to take care of them (Gen. 2:15) but also to use them as food. “Why does mankind exist?” and “Why do I exist?” is the third question to answer. Christians believe our existence is to build a relationship with God. We are to love God and other humans and keep His commandments (Ecc.12:13).
The first example in this passage is actually two parallel power struggles, one bwtween Hassan and Assef, and one between the Mullah and the lamb. Amir compares Hassan’s facial expression to that of a lamb in “[I] saw the resignation in [his face]. It was a look I had seen before. It was the look of the lamb.”(76) That lamb is later explained, through Amir’s flashback, to be a ceremonial sacrifice made on Eid Al-Adha. The lamb here, just like almost every other time a lamb has been used in literature, symbolizes Jesus, innocence, and sacrifice.
Humans sometimes sin against each other because sin is in their veins, but in Romans 1:24 it says this, “therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.” This verse explains how sin is humans’ veins, so it will be difficult for them to get along. Since humans were created in God’s image; therefore, if one human tends to do wrong to another human being is compared like doing wrong to God because we are a part of God’s
