Blake's poems.

The two different poems are two different perspectives. The innocence poem on Holy Thursday was more of the perspective of religions is uplifting.  It shows in the poem that the children are the center of attention. They sing all together in a large group like lambs in a happy community.  This first poem shows the happiness side.  The other quiz about the experience side was more of the negative side.  The poem itself, the diction within the poem, was negative and seemed "graphic." This poem kinda shows that religion is opportunistic and they use the kids. Blake shows that innocence seems all happy but it's a coverup of the real truth, and the experience is blatantly saying what is going on, there are no coverings in experience. You know the real truth.  
    Same things goes for "The Chimney Sweeper" about the coverup and the real truth.  In the innocence part of the song with this it talks about crying at first when the mother died and the father sold him to be a chimney sweep.  After all of that though near the end of the poem, Blake makes the poem have the reader diverge off of the main subject of misery here and talks about happy endings with Tom. In the poem with experience, it just talks about how the parents abandoned the child and the child has no clue so it remains happy, but in realizations the child is all alone.
