Question

The dream in lines 11-20 is a miniature allegory that has several analogies to the world in which the boys live. The ""green plain"" (line 15) represents __________.

Answer 1

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.
