1. The lamb symbolizes innocence within the story. They're described as both little and soft and they're very known for giving up the most comfortable clothing. The tiger represents survival because he's feared by most evil situations. And yes blake did this but only to show one the differences. 

2. Alliteration helps us notice the small observations the author would want us to take a look at. 

3. The lamb helps me connect to the chimney sweeper because there's a similarity between toms bald head and the shaved lamb. And this was only to prove to you how much they got to take advantage of it on a normal occasion. 

4. The boys suffered because they were sold or put to work in a chimney at a very young age. Parents only did this because they didn't have enough money to take care of their families. 

5. The cat believes he's bigger than what he actually is. 

6. Yes only because they all symbolize innocence. People have alot of sympathy for the children and the animals. So i believe the lamb and infant sorrows. 

7. Poets usually are writing based off of the time period they're living in, and whats going on around them around that time. The chimney sweeper was a story to show one the struggle very young children had to go through to help their families survive.

The setting of both poems that the poet describes is basically represents the romantics. They give a clue to understanding their surroundings. The nature is almost just like a fantasy that they have created.

He explains what he's been surrounded by. And he says that his creation was beautiful but only to him. Noone else would understand. His creation was huge and it had long black hair and black lips. The human body can very well be beauty as well as nature. When he explains the progress he had to overcome and go through its obvious that no matter what he still stuck to what he wanted to do. Some of his progress also ahowa that his father was very encouraging theough this progress.

The story starts with explaining each of the characters and the conflicts or situations they have to face. I believe that he created the characters through what he knows and his imagination and that's how they have his ideas. Irony stood out to me because the jelly turned them into actual bees.

This poem can adapt to my life because the pollution just makes everyone disgusted. Noone is able to see the real beauty of the earth because nobody takes into account of what they're doing so one would believe its not worth keeping it clean.
