A new Blog for week 2

Well, this week we dealt with the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I have to admit, I like the stories or poems that deal with supernatural activity. They are seldom dry(boring) and captivate those who read them. Besides, any story which can be made into an Iron Maiden song is cool in my book. I think next week we get to start reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This should be pretty cool. I read this book a long time ago and enjoyed the story.
We also read Ode to a Nightingale By Keats. This is kind of a trippy poem. There is such a massive doom and gloom feel to the poem.

My first blog for class

Well, I finished reading two William Blake poems. I have to admit, I thought they were easy to read and understand. It is not often that you would think a poem written in the late 1700's, early 1800's would be so easy to understand. I am really looking forward to more Blake poems. The Chimney Sweeper was pretty melancholic. While the introduction to Songs of Innocence had a joyous tone. Two opposite ends of the spectrum, material wise, in two pretty good poems.
