   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:

A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens in 1843.

Explanation:

A Christmas Carol was set in mid 19th century, during this time people had a really bad time; most of the people was unemployed and the people who were employed were paid deficiently, others were seasonal or casual, which meant they were when work was available so most of the families lived in poverty which means that they didn’t have access to nice food and clothes and children were also used for the family income so the children had to work in work houses. In contrast the rich people had access to doctors, plenty of food and didn’t have to work, had nice clothes to wear and had a nice life.

A Christmas Carol is divided into five staves.

The first stave is a prologue where Dickens introduces the reader to scrooge and his characteristics.

In the second stave Dickens writes about the ghost of the past who takes scrooge to the past and shows him what happened in his important parts of his life.

In the third stave Dickens writes about the ghost of the present where the ghost of present shows scrooge what was happening at the present.

In the fourth stave scrooge is met by the ghost of the future and he is shown what is going to happen in the future to him and people around him.

The final stave is an epilogue, where dickens ends the novel by showing the reader how Scrooge changes his characteristics and revolutionizes
