1. I do agree with the editors of my textbook that Blake's poetry had the power to enact social change by appealing to the imagination of the reader. I say this because in both poems he talks like a child or in a child mind set to make the young readers predict and understand his thoughts and words. It seems like he writes this poem to those who are not wealthy as others and will not have the chance to read it because where they stand in life but they will most likely hear this poem somewhere or sometime in life. Back then it was like it is now, something like a recession to everyone no matter how rich or poor you was and for him to write about social change coming could of been a sarcastic joke to people because nothing never changed.
2. I think the editor included the Parliament transcript to explained how a worker from the past in that day and age would have acted and how they thought. Well it didn't effect my reading at all. I understand it and understand the saying it was trying to do and how it tried to effect the reader but it didn't convince me enough to be effected.
