Mr. Blake’s views on Upon Westminster Bridge :: Westminster Bridge Poetry Essays

Mr. Blakes views on Upon Westminster Bridge I hit the books Mr Wordsworths rime. I was dismayed by his views on London. Iwas horror-stricken when I read the for the first time line. Earth has not anything toshow more fair, I believed he would pay experienced beautiful viewssince he was brought up in the Lake District. He obviously has notseen London in 1794. I have lived in London for many years of my life.I have seen sight in poverty from the poorest parts of London topeople in mansions the richest places. One day I was walking donethe passageways of London and it sprung upon me to enlighten unnecessary a poem. This ismy view on the existing London. I opened the poem with the line I wonderthrough each contract alley I used this word wandered to make it seem as if I was freely roamingthe streets not knowing where I was or where I was going. As if I waslost down the back streets of London. Chartered street buy ins themark of changed and revolutionised London. All the st reets seemed dulland grim and had something mysterious active them.My second line was on the same theme as the first line first from itid talking about the ThamesNear where the chartered Thames does flow, in the first draft ofthis poem I wrote repellant Thames instead of chartered Thames. Ichanged because I felt that it would have more effect. Everywhere isdirty in London, but I am trying to say that all over is dull andgrim also as you are walking through the streets it is like deja vu.One of the most distinct things about London is how the people lookand feel. My next two lines are,And mark in every typeface I meet marks of weakness marks of woeAs l walked though the streets I could see no one was smiling. Iactually felt sorry for some people. Nearly every mortal I met lookedill or suffered from malnutrition due to over working, low income, nofood and poor living space. I used this stanza to emphasize my viewsand to make it sound more obvious, to paint a picture in the readers hearIn every cry of everyman this next stanza is very strong andmeaningful. A crying man is not often heard. Unless he is under realdistress. Suffering is a very big theme in the street of Londoneverywhere you walk you can see it in the stanza, I started the firstthree lines with in every to emphasize my point.
