"Infant sorrow" is a short poem by William Blake that depicts the sorrow or negative aspects of being born, in the passage presented, this includes depicting the pain and fear of the mother and father in "My mother groand! my father wept" as well as the sorrow of the baby being born "Into the dangerous world I leapt" and the idea the world is dangerous. However, one idea that is not supported in this excerpt is "the joy of life" because the author only writes about the negative aspects and feelings such as sorrow, fear, despair, etc. but not about positive feelings.
In to kill a mockingbird, the author characterize the crowd of community members who attend the trial as interested, excitable spectators, hoping to witness the drama unfold before their eyes.
