When a person reads a poem the meaning that is interpreted is there own. They can make a conclusion of love, freedom, or hate having some type of relationship to it. But once the person reads someone else's out look on it or does research on the poet that wrote the poem it changes the way a person looks at it ever again.
I enjoyed reading the poems and coming to my own conclusions on William Blake's poems on Songs of the Innocent. Children were his main focus for each one. It seemed like he wanted the world to hear the cries of the children that most are to deaf to hear.
My classmates all had different ideas about the poems and at the same time were able to back up their theory's. I've never completely understood when a person writes a poem, why the message isn't always clear. At times it is hidden and difficult to see.
