What is happening during the time & place this poem was written?
Read the poetry of William Blake and analyze his work (The Chimney Sweeper”) in the time period he is talking about/represented (What is happening during the time & place this poem was written?) .
-Take the poem “The Chimney Sweeper” and cite examples from his work about Child Labor.
-Write at least a 300 word analysis of his poem or poetry (Songs of Innocence) describing his life and the lives of his characters during this dark time.
-What does his poetry evoke in its readers?
*Your analysis should be written in Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spaced, with a works cited for full points. Please drop it in the drop box by Saturday midnight. A poetry analysis should include some of the examples I have instructed on the poetry analysis paper instructions on the other assignment this week as well. You should look for metaphors and similes and include them in your analysis as well as the other literary devices I mention in the other assignment which is due later on. I give more detailed instructions there.
You may find his work on the Project Gutenberg or by searching for William Blake (Google him).
