Compargon and Contrast William Blakes The Chimney-Sweeper, Holy Thursday (Innocence) and LondonI am going to compare and secern three of William Blake poems, wherehe shows his feelings about the way people treat peasantren TheChimney-Sweeper, Holy Thursday (Innocence) and London.The Chimney-Sweeper is about a child who sweeps chimneys. WilliamBlake sets this poem in the winter. The children worked in the cold.Blake says, A little fateful thing among the snow, The little blackthing, Is the child who is dirty from cleaning the chimneys whostands out in the snow. He also looks like a black mask on thelandscape. Like a dirty stain. Crying weep, weep in the nones of woe Blake hears them crying a song. As children do when they aresad, the notes of woe are notes of extreme sadness. Where are bothfather and mother? Say? They are both gone up to the church to praythis sounds as if somebody is asking the boy questions and he answers.The childs parents are missing. They dont know where thei r parentare, they could be praying at church. The church back indeed was inpossession of a lot of land, building and laid down guide lives forpeoples demeanor styles. It also seems as if the church supports theparents and does not con positionr that they have done any thing wrong. Theparents are sending the children to work at early age, and indangerous conditions (chimneys).In the second write William Blake talks about the child as a happychild, but since hes been take up the chimneys he is aware of thedangers of his new avocation hence cloths of death, hes now a differentperson. His new job has changed his life, and he lives his life question if today he will reveal up a chimney. It has robbed him of alif... ...the priest and Kingfor not noticing and accepting the bad environment the poor are livingin. Blake doesnt like the Priest and church service for not caring for thepoor, even though they worship God and the Priest, it is unfair. Blakethought very highly of children, h e matte sorry for the children whobecame chimney sweepers. He states this many times in his poetry. Hethought that the children were the future and that they shouldnt betreated like dirt. They shouldnt stick to starved for hunger, the affluentshould have looked after the children, but they didnt. The childrendidnt get any importance then. Blake wanted the rich to know thesuffering and pain they have put the poor side through.This povety is also happening in the earthly concern now and William Blake nowhelps the world relise that there is povety in the world, and alsoemphasizes to care for the poor.
