The Chimney Sweeper

1. The boy seems like he has been cleansing the chimney for so long time that his brain thinks working for his master is the right thing to do. The boy certainly has positive view of life. On the other hand, the speaker has negative view. The speaker thinks selling the boy to the work is terrible and using young workers are more terrible. I guess the boy is too young to even notice what is good and what is bad, and he is brain washed by the master.
