Best Blake Blog!! :D

My amazing classmates and friends, Austin Schwartz, Erika Hewgley, Veronica Sanchez, and MJ Roy all are co-writers of The Blake Blog that's Better than the "Best Blake Blog". It is pretty obvious that these four students have created a very entertaining blog about the romantic poetry works of William Blake.  These four students have promised two things, that they will inform and educate you on William Blake and his work, and they have done an excellent job in doing so. They also have promised that they are “the hottest people in turners class” which that one, I am not so sure about. This is a great blog, so check it out!:)

Personally I am normally one who likes to blog themselves but I don’t really enjoy reading others’ blogs. This blog is much different though, I really enjoyed reading it! At first glace the blog is very  clean and organized and does not over whelm you with too much going on. The blog is very easy to navigate, and is also very first time blogger friendly. I learned that not only was Blake a poet he was also an artist. That’s awesome! Would you have ever thought that you could have connected an 18th and 19th century poet and artist to today’s pop culture? Well you can! Blake has influenced so many things in our culture today, such as: The U2 song, "Bullet in Blue Sky." The movies "V for Vendetta" and "The Watchmen" share the same main ideas as most of Blake’s work. Blake's poem “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” is featured as a preface in C.S. Lewis’ book “The Great Divorce.”  This blog is also a great way to get yourself introduced to romantic poetry, there is so much information on Blake’s life and some of his work, art and poetry, is displayed very clearly on the blog. Seeing some of Blake’s work displayed is intriguing and makes you want to go right away and learn all you call about Blake and all the other romantic poets. Even if you don’t think that you would like Romanticism, give it a shot, cause at first I didn’t think I would like it either, but now I absolutely love it. This blog is awesome place to start too!
