Fate and Endings
I chose the theme of fate because throughout the 18th century every character has a fate of what the end of their story looks like. I also noticed that the fate of those stories can be good and bad. In the Romantic period many fates are obvious and not hard to know before the story is over and these stories often end predictable. In the Victorian period authors start to get creative with the plot of stories, this makes the fate of the characters unpredictable, and the ending does not end with a predictable ending like the Romantic period.
Ragged School Museum
The Ragged Schools Museum connects to identity and belonging through William Blake's poem, The Chimney Sweeper, by showing how poor children were treated in society. The Ragged Schools Museum shows some of the real-life conditions of poor children during the time that William Blake wrote this poem. The museum used to be a part of an actual ragged school for very poor families, a majority of whose students worked in dangerous jobs, like chimney sweeping. These schools were built to try to give the students a basic education, food, and a safer environment to be in.
