  1. London by William Blake Tia White 1B 3/19/2014

  2. Full poem • I wander thro' each chartered street, • Near where the charter's Thames does flow. • And mark in every face I meet • Marks of weakness, marks of woe. • In every cry of every Man, • In every Infants cry of fear, • In every voice: in every ban, • The mind-forged manacles I hear • How the Chimney-sweepers cry • Every blackning Church appalls, • And the hapless Soldiers sigh • Runs in blood down Palace walls • But most thro' midnight streets I hear • How the youthful Harlots curse • Blasts the new-born Infants tear • And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

  3. Author Background • Born 1757 in London, England. • He Began writing at the age of 10. • He fell in love with gothic art. • He studied engraving. • He was an misunderstood poet. • He died in 1827

  4. Background of poem • Takes place in London, England . • It was created to discuss all the sadness that’s really going on in London, England. • It was created in London, England. • It focuses on the political and social background in London. • It discuses the poverty that an common man may face. • It describes London’s People to be weak and filled with woe

  5. My interpretation • I feel that the author is trying to say that everything is not always happy in London. He is revealing the truths about the city and the problems a common man faces. He tells of that the people of London are very weak. Freedom of speech is shunned on ,so nobody really speaks on it. It also discusses the anger of the political side of city.

  6. Literality devices • Imagery: Every Cry Of Every Man • Personification: Every blackening church Appalls. • Runs in blood down the palace walls.

  7. SongThey don’t really care about us by michealjackson. • Tell me what has become of my rightsAm I invisible because you ignore me?Your proclamation promised me free liberty, nowI'm tired of bein' the victim of shameThey're throwing me in a class with a bad nameI can't believe this is the land from which I cameYou know I really do hate to say itThe government don't wanna seeBut if Roosevelt was livin'He wouldn't let this be, no, no

  8. Conclusion • London exposes all the unfair treatment of the people of lodon,england. It tells of he diffrent social and political changes. Also all of the common man faces. • Quote: A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent
