"A Little Boy Lost" is a poem in the Songs of Experience series, written in 1794 after the poet William Blake's Songs of Innocence (1789). The poem focuses on themes of religious persecution and corrupt imperatives of dogmatic church teaching.

The purpose of this poem is to scare children through their words. He shows the exact same feeling of not knowing where to go and where his father has gone.

The correct answer is to be astonished.

Since this poem perfectly describes the feelings and words of the boy, there is no didactic reason why it cannot be warned, explained, or interpreted

Blake incorporated symbolism into his ninth line. "Steam flew away", so "steam" symbolizes the "father" from the beginning of the poem.

In this work, the boy's 'father' is getting further and further away, and the child cannot hear or see him. He is confused in the darkness, but after suffering for a while, the "smoke" will fly away and he will probably return to normal.

Answer:

STORY WRITING

We have shifted to our new resident in Las Vegas from Los Angeles. We were 3 in our family, Me, mom and dad. Dad is usually have to stay out of the home for his business purpose. Me and my mom lives alone enjoying each other's company. But still, mom used to do her household work like shifting, cleaning, cooking etc so she was mostly busy and I was getting bore as I had nothing to do.

On the very next day, when I was coming from the market a dog came to me and started chasing me. According to his behavior, he he wanted to play with me. Suddenly my neighbor came out and interacted with me. It was my neighbor's dog. They said 'sorry if he tried to irritate or hurt you, he is wild don't mind'. I said 'No, he didn't' and they went inside. From that day I've noticed that they always caged him.

One day, I asked them why they always use to cage him. They replied with an irritating look on dog 'He is wild and unpredictable, one day he almost bited me. Since then he used to be in cage'. I knew some times when we nurse dogs, they don't misbehave intentionally, they just want love and attention. So I decided to change my neighborhood's thinking. I brought a dog he used to play outside and spent most of the time outside. Once he bited me as well, but still I didn't get brutal with him. It surprises everybody. They asked me why I'm still with him. I replied 'when you love someone, you didn't let anybody let down even in the hardest circumstances. Animals wants attention and love from us. For them, their owner is their world'. That changes everybody's opinion.

Next day, I've seen my dog playing with my neighbor's dog. I went outside and seen my neighbors thanking me to make them realize a very good thing in life. I'm happy that the dog is no more in cage.

If you found a buried treasure chest, what would you most like to discover inside?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

If I found a buried treasure chest, I would probably discover pictures from the past and childhood videos. Everyone always like collecting things when they are little! I would also most likely find a key to Middle Earth. (I just love LOTR) Another thing I would find is something that can make you travel very fast.(like apparition in Harry Potter) So I do not have to buy air plane tickets and ride on cars for 4 hours. The last thing I would find would be to reverse, stop and speed up time. Everyone would be thrilled to to go back to the past and pause time, then see what is going to happen in the future.

I'm sorry, cause I don't really understand the topic and I hoped this helped!
