Answer:

He is sold to his employer by is father.

Explanation:

William Blake's poem <em>"The Chimney Sweeper"</em> from his <em><u>"Songs of Innocence,"</u></em> tells the story of how a small boy was forced into employment as child labor which was a common practice in England of that time. This poem is a generalization of the prominent case of child labor through which some families get their incomes.

Narrated from the small boy's perspective, the first stanza reads

<em>When my mother died I was very young, </em>

<em>And my father sold me while yet my tongue </em>

<em>Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" </em>

<em>So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep</em>

It is clearly evident to see that the young boy's employment came at the death of his mother. <u>His father sold him to be a chimney sweeper</u> even before he could barely talk or speak.

When Hamlet stabs Polonius in William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, Act III, scene 2, Hamlet does not recognize Polonius’s voice prior to the killing. After he stabs him, he asks If he has stabbed the king:

GERTRUDE:

Oh my God, what have you done?

HAMLET:

I don’t know. Is it the king?
