Poetry response 2


Tyger

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
- William Blake
There is a repetition where he says tyger tyger, it wouldn’t sound good if there was just one tyger.  Figurative Language where He says “Burning bright” The Tyger is not really burning, but like a bright orange burning in his face and how ferocious the tyger is big and strong.  It’s odd that he is spelling tyger that why instead of the normal why “Tiger”.  Eye and symmetry are approximate rhymes they're similar, but not perfect.  There is rhythm in the first two lines
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright. In the forests of the night.  Burning Bright is imagery, it makes me visualize a bright orange tyger in the forest.  In the two last lines he is talking about how, What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry.  I think that immortal hand or eye might be like God and how could he make something so wonderful.
