(30 points I THINK is how it works when choosing points, that goes to whoever helps me.) Although the poems, "The Lamb" and "The Tyger," address the same concept, the tone is different in each.Can you guys help me explain how they differ using supporting evidence from the poems. I'd really appreciate it ^-^ <3 <3 <3THE LAMBLittle lamb, who made thee?Does thou know who made thee,Gave thee life, and bid thee feedBy the stream and o'er the mead;Gave thee clothing of delight,Softest clothing, woolly, bright;Gave thee such a tender voice,Making all the vales rejoice?Little lamb, who made thee?Does thou know who made thee?Little lamb, I'll tell thee;Little lamb, I'll tell thee:He is called by thy name,For He calls Himself a Lamb.He is meek, and He is mild,He became a little child.I a child, and thou a lamb,We are called by His name.Little lamb, God bless thee!Little lamb, God bless thee!THE TYGERTiger, tiger, burning brighIn the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eyeCould frame thy fearful symmetry?In what distant deeps or skiesBurnt the fire of thine eyes?On what wings dare he aspire?What the hand dare seize the fire?And what shoulder and what artCould twist the sinews of thy heart?And, when thy heart began to beat,What dread hand and what dread feet?What the hammer? what the chain?In what furnace was thy brain?What the anvil? what dread graspDare its deadly terrors clasp?When the stars threw down their spears,And watered heaven with their tears,Did He smile His work to see?Did He who made the lamb make thee?Tiger, tiger, burning brightIn the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eyeDare frame thy fearful symmetry.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . . He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter—the boy who lived!"Source: Rowling, J. K. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. New York: Scholastic Inc., 1997. 21. Print.The excerpt above is from page 21 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling. Which passage represents a correctly integrated quotation from the excerpt above?A.A wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of Privet Drive, which liess quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (Rowling 21).B.The Harry Potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. We all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. Like little infant Potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (Rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.C.Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21). He lies "not knowing he [is] special, not knowing he [is] famous . . ." (Rowling 21).D.Rowling builds a sympathetic protagonist with Harry Potter from the beginning of the series. In one of his first scenes in the first book, the infant Potter lies on a doorstep "not knowing he [is] special, not knowing he [is] famous . . ." (Rowling 21). We are told that not only is this boy surely unique and worthy, but that he would have a truly ordinary childhood—just like the rest of us.
