RR9 - opt 1

Personally after reading "The Lamb" and " The Tyger" I did not recognize a significant difference between the two. Perhaps it is because of  my lack of reading anything with emphasis or not reading them in a sanguine matter of comprehension. Actually as a side note, I think what partly convinces my brain there is not that much great of a difference is because they are both written by  the same guy. Nevertheless I will still attempt to project what I interpreted from both of the poems. In terms of diction the style of both don't seem incredibly contrasting other than "The Lamb" containing the word "thee" in seemingly every line which keeps it adequately fluent. "The Lamb" has repetition with one word whereas "The Tyger" does not have one distinct recurring word. However they both have a considerable amount of rhyme to them.  It is apparent that they both have questions within them. It seems like the reiterated questions in both are used at the beginning and end to attempt to sum up something about the poem. The reiterated question in "the Lamb" is "Little Lamb who made thee?/ Dost thou know who made thee?" and in "The Tyger" the reiterated question is "...could frame thy fearful symmetry?". As far as imagery, I can accumulate more imagery from " The Tyger"  I think this is mostly because I can relate to more words in " The Tyger" that provoke me to envision some type of picture. It is difficult for me to contrast the views between  the creator in both but I think "The Tyger" incites a more adverse view on account of  the imagery of something burning.
