How do both Wordsworth's "London, 1802" and Blake's "London" present the city?

English

Both poems represent the industrialized city as a highly immoral, degenerate place, a symbol of England's corruption. However, there are significant differences. Whereas Wordsworth juxtaposes the city's present state to its former glory, and does so in spiritual and abstract terms (selfishness vs. nobility of soul), Blake plunges deep into social matters - poverty-stricken members of the working class, the all-too-earthly suffering of chimney sweepers, harlots, children, disillusioned soldiers because of injustice within the harsh reality of the industrial age. Wordsworth is a proud Englishman who resents the country's present state, invoking a great poet of the past as a moral figure. Blake, on the other hand, is a socially aware citizen who depicts the bitter mundanity of small, common people.

Agata [3.3K]
I think that the element of the story that is least related tot he author's biographical story is the C. SMELL OF MILDEW IN A VIETNAMESE VILLAGE.

Tim O'brien wrote the story using his personal experiences. He was sent to Vietnam in his tour of duty. He's familiar with the geography of the Vietnamese coastline, he vividly describes the climate and landscape, and he feels the fear that the soldier felt during wartime.
