Violence, Sorrow, Vice and Exploitation, Beauty, Fecundity and sinless, these are words that portray the innate duality that exists in William’s Blake Songs of Experience and Songs of Innocence books towards Good and Evil, the former embodied by nature and the latest represented by the city.

Philosophy of Religion My God or Your God Throughout the history of mankind, humans have believed and had no doubt in the existence of a God or gods, for thousands of years. People lived their lives believing and worshiping some sort of superior power. But after thousands of years, we notice that in the 19th century and beyond to present day, people have lost connection with God and stopped having faith.

exhibit as a whole fails to meet its claim that “re-situating, commenting on, and giving new form to environmental processes and the various histories of human interaction with them.” The main theme of this exhibit is the relationship between man, nature, and where this relationship falls in the grand scheme of existence.

A common theme I discovered that was used by the classic English Romantic poets was a need to express one’s feelings for nature in a way that would encapsulate the reader to make the experiences their own. This kind of writing allowed Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Oliver, and William Wordsworth to write moving poems that allowed them to convey their feelings of adoration to nature onto paper for others to “feel” as they read the inspiring pieces of work they had written. In some poems there’s a common

Richard Selzer was an American surgeon and author. He often wrote about his life and his experiences as a surgeon. In his essay “The Knife”, he uses figurative language to show his conflicting opinions about being a surgeon. For example, he uses nature imagery to portray his opinions about the beauty of the human body. He uses religious allusions to show how he feels that he has an extreme amount of power over his patients, as he controls whether they live or die. Lastly, he compares surgery to art
