"The Lamb" is a poem written by William Blake published in "Songs of Innocence" in 1776. It is the counterpart to another Blake's poem called "The Tyger" which was also published in "Songs of Innocence".
In the first stanzas of "The Lamb", the poem has a naive and innocent tone, with the kid asking the questions with belief and hope that they are going to be answered. The tone of the poem is a gentle one in the first stanzas and a proud one in the second half of the poem, relating to the theme of purity and Christianity and how the child is confident in his believes.
"The Tyger" is the opposite of "The Lamb" when it comes to meaning and tone. It's tone is aggressive, dark, negative and overall serious to talk not only about the beast that the tyger is, but also as a contrast to the purity that the lamb represents, the tyger represents the other side of the same coin, the darkness and primal ferocity that lies in everything.

Explanation:
The People of Sparks is a sequel to The City of Ember and tells the continuing story of the citizens of the dead underground city of Ember as they emerge to the surface of a post-apocalyptic Earth and try to make their way with the help of the people of a village called Sparks.
Led by the young teenagers Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet, the 400 citizens of Ember walk several days after climbing from the cave where Ember was located. Tired and hungry, they come across an agricultural village called Sparks, which agrees to take in the Emberites for a time and provide them with food.
Lina, her guardian Mrs. Murdo, and her young sister, Poppy, who is ill, are sent to stay at the home of Dr. Hester and her young nephew, Torren, who resents the newcomers. Meanwhile Doon and his father go to stay with the bulk of the Emberites who have been put up in an large abandoned hotel building.
The Emberites learn from the people of Sparks that several generations before the world had been afflicted by widespread disease and war, leaving the largest cities abandoned in ruins. A few settlements existed like Sparks, with wanderers traveling from place to place scavenging abandoned buildings and trading items.
Lina believes that the people of Ember are perhaps destined to re-inhabit one of these abandoned cities and she secretly stows away with a traveler headed for one of the cities. She abandons her dream when she sees the extent of the ruination.
Lina is gone for several weeks. She returns to find that in the meantime tensions between the people of Sparks and Ember have come to a head. The people of Sparks grow resentful of having to share their food stores with the Emberites, and the Emberites, who provide work in exchange for the food, begin to feel they are being mistreated. When Doon is wrongly blamed for destroying some crates of tomatoes, he begins to sympathize with the growing group of Emberites following a young man named Tick, who advocates fighting the people of Sparks and taking over their food supply.

B. Explain many of the things he misses
Explanation: " In our apartment in the Richmond District, there were always people walking around, and the neighborhood was always humming with fruit sellers, taquerias, and restaurants, especially Chinese restaurants and my favorite, dim sum bakeries. And you could rely on the street noise and interesting smells. The Geary and Clement bus lines ran late into the night and started up again early in the morning. Something was always happening. Our neighborhood was alive. It was my dream childhood."
