Prompt: . Blake uses the chimney sweepers to expose how society ignores suffering. Reflect on a time when you noticed someone being treated unfairly or saw a situation that didn’t seem right. How does this experience connect to the emotions or ideas expressed in one or both poems?

 Prompt Response: It was a small event but I recall being in a line for some sort of gas station. There was a bigger guy who cut in line of the guy in front of me. The guy in front of me didn't say anything, and I debated saying something. I didn't say anything because I figured he would have said something if it bothered him. How this connects to The Chimney Sweeper: When my mother died I was very young is when we are quiet we expect reality to turn out better later on since we laid our heads down now. 

Summary: I do not know what he did in class today but I know we read The Chimney Sweeper and some other poem relating to that. 

Reflection: Its weird how we think when we don't speak our minds reality will benefit us in someday as to justify this decision to us. I think that if something is bothering you, you should speak your mind instead of holding onto the hope reality will do that hard work for you.
