"The Chimney Sweeper" was a very interesting and inspiring poem. It talks about the feelings of the boys and also how one of them came into chimney sweeping. The part of that I like is the story of Tom Dacre. When we first hear of him he's upset that he had to shave his head. This could be a symbol of him being afraid of starting the job and having to go to work as a chimney sweeper. Then he has a dream of an Angel coming to talk to him. She/he tells him about Gods love and how he'll reward them all for working hard. The Black coffins could be the world they're apart of now, dark and hard to live in, but if they live each day and be good they'd be blessed by God by taking them to heaven.
