the people of the earth and the lamb also creates a lot of these things for humans. In the fifth stanza the child tells the lamb who made him.

This person is probably having a conversation with God because you get him asking a lot of questions and there are no answers coming back to him. The persona of these two poems has helped William Blake creature the picture of good and evil.Rhyme is an important part of these poems. Rhyme helps to stress the point that God has created good and bad things. ...
