"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.

Their feelings and opinions are expressed through it.
lana66690 [7]

It expresses their feelings and opinions.(passive to active)

Explanation:

Passive voice is described as the grammatical construction in which the object and action are being emphasized rather than the subject. The subject in such construction becomes the recipient of the action and is being acted upon by the verb/action. It is primarily employed to show interest in the object or verb instead of the subject. The given sentence is written in the passive voice as the object is being emphasized and the subject receives the action and to convert it into active voice the object would be replaced by the subject('It') to shift the emphasis.

That woman that looks at herself in the mirror for long minutes is very vain. Vain means excessively proud of one's appearence so when someone spends too much time in a mirror, they are considered vain. I have seen this in my daily life because so many women and men spend too much time in front of a mirror just looking at themeselves not even fixing up.
