Hi, going through a rough weekend and I have a 4-5er due by Monday
"Compare and contrast Grays Elegy with any poems by either Blake (William) or burns (?) approx 4-5." any help would be greatly appreciated, even if its just selecting which poem by blake to compare to Thomas Gray's elegy.

Wow, that is a really open ended question. Seeing as there are no specifics you are being told to compare it should be reasonably simple to pull together 4-5pges on the subject. Also, as there are no specifics it shouldn't really matter which poem you pick.

yes but I would say the overall theme of Gray's elegy is about death of the common man, what of Blakes work compares, and can you summarize the poem Auguries of Innocence, because it is one of the longest I could find, and what are some common themes of that poem (i can still switch though) and Gray's Elegy written in a Country Courtyard.
