Use of Simile IV. Use of Visual Imagery V. Visual and Rhythmic Structure and use of alliteration VI. Conclusion A. Repeat thesis statement Thesis Statement Blake uses alliteration, visual imagery, simile, and symbolism in his poem, “The Chimney Sweeper” to illustrate his disgust in child labor conditions.

Tom was very young when his mother had died and his father had sold him when he could barely cry. That is another theory against Marxism referring to kids being sold back in those times. Having to sweep and sleep in the soot, it shows how cruel young chimney sweepers were treated back in that time. An example of that is shown in the poem when it
Summary of Chapters 7-9 As Chapter Nine starts, Eliezer and his father have managed to make it through selection and are placed on a carriage. During the trip, the SS officers order the prisoners to throw the dead bodies off the carriages and Eliezer struggles to protect his father from giving in to death. Each time the carriages stop, there are European men and women who throw bread into the wagons so that they can watch the prisoners fight each other to the death so they may get a bread crumb. Elie watches how hunger affects the prisoners as a young son murders his own father over a small piece of bread. As he is sleeping one night Elie feels hands wrap around his throat, trying to strangle him.

By reading both of these poems, the poets, by their writing styles, are revealing in each poem the young children are of different ages. Wilbur uses alliteration to make this poem somewhat of a nursery rhyme to identify with his daughter. The reason the father lies to his daughter in this specific poem is to protect her from enduring the vicious nightmares of danger striking the young child while she is attempting to sleep. For example, "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" and compared to this poem, Wilbur writes, "The warping night-air having brought the boom, of an owl's voice into her darkened room." This use of alliteration and diction provide even further evidence that the child is young.

He was to die alone and spend eternity alone in torment in the deepest hell for the crimes he had committed. As the water of the swamp became murky with his blood, one last thought formed on the lips of the demon Grendel, “Mother…” By Aaron
They lived in the trenches which were often water filled and rat infested. The smell of corpses and death was all around. Many of the doughboys were infested with lice or “cooties”, which was probably gotten from the rats. The sound of exploding artillery was heard and those who went “over the top” were often gunned down by German machine guns (The Western Front, 2010). For months these men lived in these trenches without baths, little food and knowing that death or mustard gas awaited them.
Muriel wanted a necklace with a picture of her, and the other side Courage. Meanwhile the swamp monster was upset and decided to search for his girlfriend, and also passed by the key ring shop. He broke the shop doors violently and growled at the shopkeeper, who was frightened and hid behind the counter. He started to demand for if his girlfriend visited the shop. He got really scared and the swamp monster got extremely angry and broke down the whole shop.
