As tom was a sleeping he had such a sight … then naked & 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 him change his attitude about his job? it shows tom that if he is good, god will provide for him. it tom find a better job than the one he already has. it tells tom that if he works harder, he will make more money. it promises tom that an angel will take him into the clouds.

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

In the excerpt from "The Chimney Sweeper," by William Blake, Tom has a dream in which an angel liberates chimney sweeper boys like him. The angel tells him that if he is good, then God will become his father and he will always be happy, considering Tom's mother is dead and his father has sold him.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
