Question

As Tom was sleeping he had suck a sight...

Then baked & white, all their bags left behind,
they rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind.
And the Angel told Tom if he’d be a good boy,
He’d have God for his father & never want joy.



In William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper,” how does Tom’s dream help him change his attitude about his job

A. It promises Tom that an angel will take him into the clouds

B. It shows Tom that if he is good, God will provide for him

C. It helps Tom find a better job than the one he already has.

D. It tells Tom that if he works harder, he will make more money.

Answer 1

I also agree that the answer to this is B

Answer 2

Answer: B. It shows Tom that if he is good, God will provide for him

Explanation: When the author says "He'd have God for his father & never want joy" he is saying God will watch over him and he will not need to wish for joy because he will be happy.

Hope that helps :)
