Innocence and Experience

I love the aspect of innocence and childhood that Blake uses in "Innocence and Experience." The pictures correlate with that theme very well, and they create an even stronger sense of childhood. I especially love the image of page 6, "The Echoing Green." The protection of the large tree over the families gives the reader the sense of family and innocence throughout the whole book, but it is particularly very prominent in this photo.

    You're points are on key! I totally love the same things you do!!!! The images portray a different part of the book that is not reflected through the text!

    I agree with you because I think "The Echoing Green" is a perfect representation of childhood and one of my favorite poems in this collection. The protection of the tree is very relatable and the whole poem and artwork really works together well.
