Didn't Get It

Well I just read our assigned poems and maybe I am just dense, and that is probably the case, but I didn't really find them that interesting. Maybe if I knew the background of the poems they would probably seem a little more important, but for me right now I wasn't that impressed. I will say that I liked Blake's poems better than Woodsworth's. I got the idea from reading Blake's poems that he was a very religious man who believes in God and I think that is why I was able to connect with his poems a little better. The poem that I found most intriguing was the Chimney Sweeper because I felt like it was a poem of hope. Here this boy was who had experienced a very sad life up to this point and now because of a dream that he had, he was filled with a new found hope that everything would turn out fairly in the end. That is one of the things that I love most about the plan of happiness; that everyone is going to get an opportunity in this life or the next to accept the Gospel and return to our Father's presence.
