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?

 One time at work a homeless man entered. He asked if there were any extra burgers or extra food we could spare. My coworker immediately was disrespectful and dismissive. The man looked defeated and began to walk out. Customers around began to stare. Just as he publicly embarrassed this man I publicly held him accountable. My boss agreed with me and before he could fully leave we gifted the man a burger. In the poem though the boy knew it was wrong yet accepted his fate and didn't attempt to stand up for himself. The man did the same thing until he was finally blessed.

Prompt: In Letters 46–50, Celie begins to see Albert more clearly—his flaws, his regrets, and the ways he changes when he is no longer in complete control of her. Their relationship slowly shifts from fear and dominance to honesty and distance. Write about a relationship in your life that changed over time as you grew older or more aware. What made the dynamic shift, and how did your understanding of that person evolve?

 A relationship that changed over time was my relationship woth my paternal grandparents. When i was younger i used to talk, text and visit them in Virginia very often. As i grew up i became less attached. Not because of anything negative, but simply because it just happened. I still love them dearly , we just communicate less. Growing up they taught me alot and put me through learning experiences so for that im grateful.
