Blake/Wordsworth/Coleridge/Romanticism Blog-Due March 19

1. Do you agree with the view of Romanticsm that you should go with your emotions instead reason ultimately when making decisions?

I think that you should use a combination of both when making decisions because both reasoning and emotions are both very important.
2. What do you think William Blake's "The Tyger" and "The Lamb" represent about human condition/psche?
They represent both the good and bad side of people, and how people can act.
3. Do you agree with Wordsworth that we're too focused on "getting and spending" in society?
I think that that is true and that we need to do more relaxing and work less so we can enjoy our lives.
4. Describe one of your most vivid dreams recently similar to Coleridge's poem, "Kubla Khan"?
I had a dream that I was on stage with Muhammad Ali and that we were accepting some sort of award and out of nowhere he punched me in the face and everybody laughed at me.
