When writing an essay about "The Chimney Sweeper" by William Blake what is a good thesis statement for the essay regarding this poem?Can be about...

If you have read Charles Dickens's classic novel,
Oliver Twist, you will remember that Oliver was almost apprenticed
to a Mr. Gamfield who worked boys as chimney sweepers until gentlemen
object,

"It's
a nasty trade," said Mr. Limbkins, when Gamfield had again stated his
wish.

"Young boys have been smothered in chimneys before
now," said another
gentleman.

Like Dickens's
subtle invective against the occupation of boys as chimney sweepers, William Blake, too,
exposes the horrible cruelty of this occupation.  It is Blake's intention as well to
bring to the public's attention the need to do away with such a practice that exploits
small boys.  In 1788 there was a Chimney Sweepers' Act passed; however, it only
marginally improved conditions for the boys.

So, with all
this in mind, your thesis could state that William Blake writes a poem of social protest
for the innocent in his "The Chimney Sweeper."  The three opinions of this thesis could
reflect what is contained as main points in the poem. Another idea is to have the
thesis state how Blake demonstrates in "The Chimney Sweeper" demonstrates how the
society of his day puts commercial values ahead of moral ones.  Then, the three points
of the thesis can be in which ways this demonstration is
accomplished. 

e.g. In his poem, "The Chimney Sweeper,"
William Blake demonstrates how the English society of his day places commercial values
ahead or moral ones by ____.______.and _____.  [find verses that answer
