    From reading Psalm 121, the speaker gives none to little insight on what the song is really about. Being that if reader 1 does not know of the Bible versus reader 2 who does, yet, reader 1 can still have the same or different meaning as reader 2. Verse 1 explains how someone should what he or she is looking for. If the person knows,then he or she has already themaselves in a way. God made heaven and earth, therefore, He can do just about anything. So putting in effort to one being comfortable and confident, God will help those trusting him in Verse 2. The next verse is explaing God not letting anyone fall into temptation. One who does fall into the temptation suffer the consequences. Even though the other one did not fall still experience more desires and urges. The reasoning behind Verse 4 is a leader, not just of Israel, not sleeping because of leadership and its people. As a leader or keeper, that specific person fulfills his or her people needs, ideas, wants or not. Be...

The author uses characterization in both poems to describe its own. Meaning that Infant Joy experience glee and Infant Sorrow experience misery.

He connects Infant Sorrow to a society sometimes without morals, without meaning and without standards. Connecting Infant Joy to a society sometimes with righteousness, with morals, and intention to do good. These poems may have a story to tell with the comparison and saying Infant Joy was Infant Sorrow. In Lines 1 through 8 of Infant Sorrow,the baby is just coming into the world crying, screaming, and needing something to be calm. That is why in Line 1, Joy has no name and two days old. Because Joy does not remember and had no choice but to forget what was goin...
