Writing Feedback / When flatters get together, the devil goes to dinner [5]

Hi Ultimate csp!

I'm new here. i really like your piece of writing, very creative, indeed! it is quite a masterpiece!! I'm not a native speaker of the language but i will try to suggest:

Flattery is a social evil and It serves the same purpose as that of devil.Corruption, depravity and injustice are byproducts of flattery. the Victim of it never knows about it but when it gets too late to mend. Maybe you can rephrase this sentence.

It is just like sweet poison.
An ordinary example of flattery is the attempt of a student to blanish or praise a teacher in order to get good marks. Flattered, if at the top of the tree, is being used by his/her subordinates to get illegitimate benefits ( from .. i think is the right preposition here) of his/her position.

It may includes to dis merit talent by manipulating flattered with help of flattery. maybe you can rephrase it by saying. by doing so, or by obtaining illegimacy benefits, true inner tralents may be desmerit.

A Flatterer is such an ugly customer who never lets his/her target know that what's what and what he/she is all about. i didnt get all your idea in this sentence. do you mean that the flatterer does not show his/ her true colours?

Flattery quotes:

"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you."

William Arthur Ward quotes (American dedicated scholar, author, editor, pastor and teacher)
"Neither will I put myself forward as others may do,

Neither, if you wish to flatter, will I flatter you;

I will look at you grimly, and so you will know I am true."

William Rose Benet quotes
"People generally despise where they flatter"

Aristotle quotes (Ancient Greek Philosopher, Scientist and Physician, 384 BC-322 BC)

Hope this helps

Poetry / Compare and Contrast Poets (two pieces and a specific aspect) [6]

Hi Shade.

If i were you i'd choose to write about willian Blake and Willian William Wordsworth since these two poets embrace many themes of the Romantic tradition in their writings. Their poetry displays aspects of nature, emotion, fancy and reason.

As you know, Romantic poetry is based on translating nature and seeing the world through one person, the poet. for that reason, these poets wrote of their own journey usually in the first person, also known as the heroic "I." Blake and Wordsworth are two important poetic figures from the Romantic Era and while most of their poems reflect the themes of romanticism, they have written select poems that involve children either as a theme or as subjects. Children are not images usually connected to the elements of the romantic tradition, but both writers are able to use children to explain their journey and understanding of the world. Blake's "The Lamb" and "The Chimney Sweeper" are two examples of poetry from his collections, Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience that use the theme of children. Wordsworth uses the image of a child as both theme and subject in his poems: "The Thorn" and "We Are Seven."

I found this page where the poems are analized. maybe it can help you:
