Community Blog Assignment: Blake's Prophecies Revealed

     The blog I chose was Blake's Prophecies Revealed, written by Makenna Childers, Edde Diaz, Alex Pinzon, and Haun Tran. This bog was able to give good insite into what Blake was about, and also capture the readers attention. The first thing you notice when you go to Blake's Prophecies Revealed is the fish. Although the fish are not the focus of this blog they are a great touch to get the readers interested. 
     I found the post by Edde Diaz, "America a Prophecy" By William Blake, to be very helpful. For not knowing much about Blake this blog entry helps to depict some expectations of Blake for the Americas, and some of the disappointments he had when he saw that there was no sensual liberation in the Americas.
     Other entries that were benificial were by Alex Pinzon. These two posts, Summary of Europe: A Prophecy by william Blake part 1 and 2, certainly show the thoughts of William Blake, and in a way "bring it home" with clear explainations and questioning on Blakes' prophetic writing. The break down of what Blake meant when writing this piece makes it clear and easier to understand, although she does mention how she struggled herself while reading the piece. By explaining how difficult the writing was to follow, and the reasons why, we can see the thought process she went through to come to her conclusion. The connection between man and nature that she discusses comes up all throughout the romanticism time period. I had found this to be helpful, because it gave me some more knowledge about that specific connection that romantic writters felt was so important.
    Many of the blogs our class has put together have been remarkably helpful but this one in perticular helped to make others clear, as well as, thier own. Some topics dicussed can also help with other poets, and thier beliefs. If anyone ever needed information on Blake and his prophecies this would be one of the places I looked, and if not information, atleast for a better understanding of what Blake meant in many of his pieces of writing.
