English

   Both pieces share symbols of death as it is seen in the use of the <em>cold.</em> Death makes corpses cold and also gives the idea of those we love going to some cold place , very far from those who remain on the world of the living.At the same time<em> cold </em>is the representation of an attitude, that of someone who cannot accept the blame of having caused somebody´s death.

<em>Blood</em>, though part of our anatomy, when spilt it is a symbol of death.The whole idea of blood, even when it is a stain, has a meaning more connected to death than to a living organism.Last , we feel doleful when somebody dies because we have blood running through or veins.The feeling of loss and absence  is also represented by <em>blood</em>

<em>Darkness</em> is another symbol.Separated from the rest of the verses in the poem it appears in The Sweet Hereafter connected to the consequences of the Vietnam War , the critical financial situation of the country at the time of the tragedy and mostly the secret about the child abuse.In the poem it connotes the feeling of ignoring what is to come after death .

<em>Sweet </em>is resignation in the poem as it comes almost in the end.The same as in the novel , acceptance is represented by the word sweet.It means that what has happened , as hard as it is, accepting the absence caused by death means to continue living.

Answer:

The California Dream is the psychological motivation to gain fast wealth or fame in a new land. As a result of the California Gold Rush after 1849, California's name became indelibly connected with the Gold Rush, and fast success in a new world became known as the "California Dream".[1] California was perceived as a place of new beginnings, where great wealth could reward hard work and good luck. The notion inspired the idea of an American Dream. California was seen as a lucky place, a land of opportunity and good fortune. It was a powerful belief, underlying many of the accomplishments of the state, and equally potent when threatened.
