Question

Although "The Lamb" and "The Tyger" address the same concept, the tone is different in each.

Explain how they differ using supporting evidence from the poems.

Answer 1

The Lamb

Little lamb, who made thee?
Does thou know who made thee,
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little lamb, who made thee?
Does thou know who made thee?
Little lamb, I'll tell thee;
Little lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild,
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name.
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!

Answer 2

The Tyger

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry.

Answer 3

I know one of the reasons is because of the rhythm and rhyme

Answer 8

Answer 11

The tone is down.

Answer 12

Answer 13

I only mentioned that specific excerpt.

Answer 14

In overall, you have to read the poem. You have to determine how the speaker feels.

Answer 15

You can use quotes and excerpts to figure it out.

Answer 16

I did and i feel like the lamb is more of joyful tone and tiger is more of a questioning and uneasy tone since it's more on the day of questioning religion in my opinion .

"The Lamb"
"Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,"
With the meaning behind this poem being to thank the creator for his beautiful creations and just overall express how wonderful he is, I believe this poem uses a joyful and soothing tone.

"The Tyger"
This poem made up of questions questioning the creator.."Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made the lamb make thee?" so the tone of this poem to be would more of an anxious, stressful, and uneasy tone.
