Blake and Burns

1. He uses the language.
2. The idea in Auld Lang Syne is the tenderness of friendship, the joy of celebration, and the value in memories. In John Anderson, My Jo, it celebrates lifelong friendship, honoring a couple who have shared the joys and hard work of youth and now share their later years. It is celebrating emotion over reason.
3. The hill stands for life.
4. He had visions that influenced his poetry.
5. They each make use of a regular rhyme scheme and frequent repetition. The animals represent innocence and experience. Because the world is both beautiful and ugly and it's important to understand both sides. They represent the Garden of Eden.
6. They are about nature and things that represent human qualities both good and bad. They reject order and reason. It's all about nature and life.
