Eidson influenced my first impressions of Nat Swanson by persuading me to believe he was a bad and lonely character from the start of the novel. Eidson clearly demonstrates Nat Swanson as a lone ranger, a one-man gang and a loner in this story. At first Eidson reflects on Nat Swanson’s history to reflect his characteristics. Nat Swanson lost his whole family in an incident involving Comanche’s at a young age and was passed around foster homes.

The abuse he receives from his father is seen in these poems shown through the perspective of Billy as he recounts his past when he gets bashed by his father when he breaks the window.

However, when Scrooge sees himself alone in the school room he shows even more emotion. The fact that he is alone at Christmas may suggest his dislike for the festival in his present life. His loneliness could be due to bullying from the other children, and this may be the reason he has such a negative attitude towards people, as he is scared that they will not accept him for who he is. Whatever the reasons, this event causes Scrooge much sadness and ‘he sobbed’ showing that these experiences were obviously very hard for him. Scrooge recalls how the only company he had as a small child was that of literary characters from famous stories, and with this ‘he wept to see his poor forgotten self as he used to be’ meaning that his loneliness greatly affected his life, and caused him inner

4 Mar. 2014 Chimney Sweeper Chimney Sweeper by William Blake entails about a poem which identifies young boys as socially oppressed chimney sweepers in the dark background of child labor. In the story, the boys are very young and are being sold to people to clean chimneys with no say about the fact that they are just childhood ages being put to work in a dangerous environment which seemed to be government controlled at the time. The ideology behind that is, that the reason the kids were put to work was because they are small and can clean places unreachable to adults and the poem sets a good example of how it was in England in the 18th and 19th century. Marxism to me is basically anti communist thinking, pro religion and also the fact that everything should be shared equally and I believe it shows a good example in the poem when one of the young boys named Tom Dacre had said "And by came an Angel who had a bright key, and opened the coffins and set them all free" (1382).
