   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.

pochemuha

Answer:

The correct answer is:

The "green plain" in the dream represents a better future for the boys.

Explanation:

The Chimney-sweeper by William Blake is a beautiful poem that tells the story of a child that is sold by his father after his mother passed away. The green plain is a representation of a dream in which Tom, speaker's friend, and the other chimney sweepers are freed by an angel; and after that they run to take a bath in a clear river to be so clean and white under the sun.

In this case, the green plain represents a place of fertility, spring, growth and freedom in a place  where that children can run happily sharing with the other friends with no fear, and with a great expectation about the future.
