		What does William Blake discuss in the poem London?
 London BY WILLIAM BLAKE
" I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow. And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe. In every cry of every Man, In every Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse"
	
	
	
	
	
	Blake questions if it is possible to live in this peaceful urban space and how oppressed the speaker feels upon entering the city since the poem¿s title denotes a specific geographic space.
	
	
	Blake discusses the impressions the speaker, who wanders through the streets of London, makes and comments on his observations. He sees happiness in the faces of the people he meets and hears positive feelings in their voices.
	
	 
	Blake focuses on the social and political background of London and highlights differences between the wealth of the ruling classes and the poverty of the common man.
	
	
	Blake wonders if the ones whom the speaker meets in the streets of London are so anxious about the violence in the city that they cannot enjoy the good aspects of the wonderful town they live in.
	
	
	Blake's poem on England's capital city, written in 1792, is a picturesque portray of life in a big city in the eighteenth century. The poem is a concise religious analysis, delivered with passionate love, revealing the simpleconnections of life in a big city.

		6.
		Why was The French Revolution so important for the English people?
	
	
	
	
	
	Because as the French regime came tumbling down, a series of political and religious changes started going on in England as well as the roots for the Republican Party started being laid.
	
	
	Because the bloody events that began with the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 favored not only the English economy, as the French country had been destroyed by the war, but also the spread of democracy gave the English working-class the right to vote.
	
	
	Because the English history in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is largely the story of England¿s involvement against French monarchy and in favor of a free French Republican country.
	
	 
	Because it was not only a crucial event considered in the context of Western history, but was also, perhaps the single most crucial influence on British intellectual, philosophical, and political life in the nineteenth century.
	
	
	Because the collapse of unfashionable eighteenth-century society and a reliable monarch gave English people reasons to fight for a better monarchy in their own country.
