Answer:

The correct answer and the meter used by William Blake in "The Lamb" is D. trochaic tetrameter,

Explanation:

The poem replicates the rhyme scheme and meter of an hymn, thus the use of trochaic meter. This pattern is standard in hymns, but less common in poetry as a whole. The rhythmic pattern of a trochee repeats the pattern of a stressed beat followed by an unstressed beat.

These patterns make it easier to remember hymns, but also reflect the air of nursery rhyme he wanted to convey in "The Lamb".

Lana71 [14]
The unity between the individual and all living things.

Although the narrator of the poem speaks of himself, he is not Walt Whitman, or any other particular person for that matter. He is an Individual, who is at the center of his own universe; however, he is also all the individuals, as the essence of his being is the essence of humanity itself. The "self" of the poem is both singular and plural, individual and universal, earthly and cosmic.

kvv77 [185]
Answer:

I’m confused, do you need the definitions because here they are

Common nouns name any person, place, thing, or idea. They are not capitalized unless they come at the beginning of a sentence. Proper nouns are the names of specific people, places, things, or ideas. Proper nouns should always be capitalized.


or do you need examples of an idea that’s a common and proper noun?
