Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swadling bands, Bound and weary I thought best To sulk upon my mother ... they are twined with the 'Innocence' poems. The 'Innocence' poems were Blake's perception of the products of a mind in a state of innocence and of an imagination unspoiled by the stains of the world. At the time in which he wrote about 'innocence', he had not yet been exposed to the social injustices of his time.

Therefore, he was writing about his world, at the time, an innocent world. The Songs of Innocence, of course, are not "children's poems."

- 2543: A Farewell To Arms - Response
- ... that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without being anything? "There isn't always an explanation for everything." War and love are obviously important themes in the book, and the relationship between the two is explored by Hemingway and, somewhat, by Henry. In the first two Books we are in the war and the war is overwhelming. In the last two Books we are in love. And, just as the first two Books are peppered with love in the time of war, the last two Books ...

- ... unique as a sort of free agent, not bound to one or more schools of critics, like many of his contemporaries were. This ability to write freely, his status as a nobody in the literary world, was Salinger's greatest asset. Rather than to scope inside Salinger's mind and create a grea tness for him, we are content instead to note him for what he is: "a beautifully deft, professional ... and enticing as Holden Caulfield. As Engle wrote, "The story is engaging and believable . . . full of right observations and sharp insight, and a wonderful sort of grasp of how a boy can create his own world of fantasy and live forms" (3).Generally, critics view the novel as Holden Caulfield's melodramatic struggle to survive in the adult world, a transition that he was supposed to make during his years at preparatory school. Some critics will point to the fact that Holden has flunked out of three Pennsylvania prep schools, and use it ...

In fact, the first feeling of guilt came after the initial band of brothers killed their father. On this topic ... book. However, he still thinks he is invisible, and he lives underground. A particular passage from Freud seems useful here: While this procedure already clearly shows an intention of making oneself independent of the external world by seeking satisfaction in internal, psychical processes, the next procedure brings out those features yet more strongly. In it, the connection with reality is still further loosened; satisfaction is obtained from illusions, which are ...
