Today we had to read William Blake's The Chimney Sweeper and London.
The Chimney Sweeper...(what was really said...)
When this boy was little his mother died and his father put him to work as a chimney sweeper.
Tom hated getting haircuts but the boy told him it was so that he didnt spoil his white hair in the soot.
He had a dream (or a vision) of all the boys in coffins.
An Angel saves them and takes them up into heaven where they and run free.
God may become their father eventually if they were all good.
So they went back to work like little boys should. (haha I rhymed :-D)
London...
The guy wanders through the streets, Near the Thames river in England (right?) And sees a lot of sadness.
He hears cried of men, babies and himself even.
Many soldiers died in front of the palace, leaving blood on the walls.
But mostly he hears cries at night when the hearses drive by.
