William Blake

William Blake writes the poems from two different perspectives to show how opposing sides view things. Older people see things from a different point of view than younger people. Like kids in high school; if a freshman wrote a poem about how they feel about high school, it would be vastly different from a senior writing a poem about high school. The innocence shows that people with less experience more times know less about something, and people who have already lived through whatever the topic was have a better understanding and view of the topic. Blake wanted to show how each side would write about a topic.
