The Effect of Diesel Exhaust on a Person’s Health Air pollution has been one of the greatest concerns this millennial. The majority of the focus regarding air pollution has been on its effects on the environment and how it contributes to climate change. It can be easy to overlook the effect it has on the human body.

Soot has always played an important role for global warming. “Soot is the second predominant agent after carbon dioxide which forces warming by contributing 1.1 watts per square meter of soot to the atmosphere” (Richard A.

Loss of Innocence William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper” from the songs of innocence, is about a boy who was sold at a very young age into the life of a chimney sweeper. Blake tries to educate his readers about the social injustices imposed on young children by revealing the horrifying and hazardous conditions they work under. Even though Blake believes that innocence is pleasing, it cannot outlast the real world due to the harsh circumstances faced by children. By using the voice of a child, Blake
Blake uses strong imagery to represent the feelings of his poems. A strong component used was the light versus dark imagery in both poems, with the contrasting soot-covered boy on the white snow in Songs of Experience. This blackness was used to describe the death and despair brought by the labor. These, “clothes of death,” were made by the soot but literally and metaphorically (SoE). Sweeping a chimney could mean death to a young boy who panicked when caching his leg or falling during a job. The color

There is a clear distinction made here between black and white. ‘When your head’s bare, you know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair’2, to put that sentence in other words, it says that the innocence of the child cannot be spoilt by the soot because it will remain clean for it is not there.

The animated film director Hayao Miyazaki is most known for his 2001 film Spirited Away.

and playfulness in Heaven. Recall, that the soot makes the boys dirty, and the representation for the soot is sin. Specifically, society’s sin which comes from various sources like the parents, chimney masters, and the British monarchy as well. The child is not only mocking God, the king and the church, but society as a whole when it seem that everyone benefitted from his anguish. The boys were not allowed to wash their figurative sin and thus, the soot got stuck to their skin. In the Songs of Innocence

Blake one of many others had lived in the time of the American, French, and Industrial Revolutions (Blake Background).

The smoke pollutes the air and the fire destroys the vegetation, yet creatures small and large are able to adapt. Grasshoppers, a small insect trying to survive, have changed color because of the soot that remains on the forest floor. Their hearts have hardened to the conforming and adapting to their surrounding environment. Similarly, Nick is covered with his own ‘soot’ brought back with him

An Unfolding of William Blake's "The Chimney Sweeper." William Blake's poem "The Chimney Sweeper" gives us a look into the unfortunate lives of 18th century London boys whose primary job was to clear chimneys of the soot that accumulated on its interior; boys that were named "climbing boys" or "chimney sweepers." Blake, a professional engraver, wrote this poem (aabb rhyme), in the voice of a young boy, an uneducated chimney sweeper. This speaker is obviously a persona, a fictitious character created
pacing and rhythm of the pieces. The diction in the poems is similar as well. The poems use similar wording likely because of the poems’ similar setting. The similar setting also creates similar imagery between the two pieces. The author talks about the soot, the darkness, and the sadness to create a dreary picture of late-18th-century London. The rhyme in the poems is similar in that they both use the “AABB” rhyming pattern at times. However, the second poem uses “AABB” in only the first stanza, and
'weep! 'Weep / So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep” (3-4). The tone of these lines make people feel sad for the boy. It hits the limbic system in their brain, which is where emotions are controlled. These lines are very emotional and people can instantly feel, this is going to be sad. Blake instantly pulls you in with empathy for this child. Also, Blake says, “Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare, / You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair” (7-8). The kids have
tumbled boulders that could have been generated by a massive tsunami. In addition, the soil also contains pieces of quartz that were deformed by high shock pressures. These crystals would occur from a giant explosion, such as an asteroid impact. The soot, deformed crystals, and tumbled boulders could of all happened without an asteroid colliding with Earth, but it would be very unlikely. To conclude, these three pieces of evidence prove that an asteroid collided with Earth, killing the
An African child has recently lost his mother due to natural causes in Mozambique, and his father, who is so desperately in need for money, sells his only child to a lumber factory. Because of the unfair economic situations and lack of prioritization of children, they are forced to bear the harshness of society from adolescence.
