Childhood in Robert Frosts Birchess and William Blakes The Chimney Sw

puerility in Robert Frosts Birchess and William Blakes The Chimney SweeperRobert Frosts view of childhood is much assorted than that of William Blake, as expressed in their respective poems, Birches and The Chimney Sweeper. reinforcement in the late seventeenth century, Blake saw some hard generation and as such, paints a very non-romantic picture of childhood. Frost, however, sees things differently. The result is two glaringly different poems that goes to prove how very different people are.Blakes enactment of childhood is far from happy. A small childs mother dies while that child is quiesce very young this is sad but not all unneurotic strange. However the childs father then, very soon after, sells him off to be a chimney sweeper. Blake does not stop here after a explanation these childrens musical accompaniment conditions few emotions are left except for pity. As Americans living in the twenty first century, this all seams very strange. We see childhood as a be at of joy, and innocence a metre to embrace, and to not let slip by too fast. We see childhood as Robert Frost does.Childhood, a time of adventure a time when the earthly concern is large and mysterious, and there is always more explore a time when there is no wrong that could not be righted by a mothers kiss. This is the childhood described by Robert Frost. He describes this through a portrayal of the childs game of riding birches a careful climb, a well quantify jump, and an exhilarating waver. Then he describes the loss when one ages. How one by one this boy subdues the trees until there are none left to swing from. Frost then finishes off by showing his longing to clear to those days.How is it that two poems, written on the same theme, could be so unbelievably d... ...about an ideal childhood, or that of a friend and Blake could abide done likewise. However, because they some(prenominal) wrote about the childhood they experienced, this validates our other theorie s on time and location. The difference amongst these two views of childhood are like night and day. One is a pleasant time, and the other is not. One is a time to hang on to, the other is a time to get passed. One is a time of joy, the other is one of hardship. Looking back on how my life has vie out so far, I am glad that I should have the privilege of Frosts childhood, and not that of Blake but one is by no mean the norm and the other not. The primary factor causing the difference in the midst of Blakes and Frosts childhood was location, location in time and space. And, though as ill-omened as it may be, when the world is viewed in 4D Frosts childhood is hardly normal.
