In society people often are members of religions. These religions have control over a person’s way of thinking, morals, daily actions, and life goals. The churches of these religions often profit off of these people and manipulate them to do their bidding. In William Blake's The Chimney Sweep this is apparent. The poem is narrated by a child who was sold by his father to a “¹Master Sweeper”. The narrator of the poem is seen comforting a young boy named Tom after he was forced to shave his head. When Tom finally falls asleep he has dreams of a paradise where he is told the only way to reach this paradise is by continuing to work. Finally when Tom awakes he tells the boys of what he has seen and they all work for the paradise.(Blake lines
