These little poems too
15、k children and the joys of childhood innocence as their subject. As youve probably guessed by now, many of the poems in Songs of Innocence, like “The Chimney Sweeper”, are about the ways in which childhood innocence is destroyed by unkind old adults. For Blake, innocence is, in many ways, a total jo
16、ke. It doesnt exist, because its always taken away by the realistic world chimney-sweeping, death, poverty, etc.What does a five-year-old chimney sweeper in 18th-century England have to do with you? More than you might think. It is reported that 150 million kids are in child labor in developing coun
17、tries. Many of them work long hours and face dangerous health risks.

But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Depart

24、ederal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them.

42、e high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group.
