HAAAAALP MIII with analysing some poetries

Give short example below pls... >>

 

[Dundee]

I read a lot of old poetry, particularly medieval stuff.
You just have to read it line at a time, when you see a word of a reference to a person you have to try and find out who they are, or what event is being referenced. Also a little reading about the Author will sometimes help. This will help to establish some context for the poem.

Like this? No but Lines of Thought : The tale of Beowulf

Info about poet:

William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850) I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
Wordsworth was a great nature poet and the co-founder of the Romantic Movement. He was born I the Lake District – one of the most beautiful parts of England, studied at Cambridge, and was inspired by the French Revolution. Wordsworth revolted against the poetry of his time, which he thought was cold and artificial, and wanted to return to the emotion, imagination and natural language of the medieval and Elizabethan poets. In one of his poems he says that only through the beauty of nature can man find the ultimate meaning in life and reach a state of inner peace and harmony.

POEM

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high over vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky-way
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance

The waves beside them danced: but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not buy the gay
In such a jocund company:
Gazed – and gazed – but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils

QUESTIONS / Tasks

The daffodils stretch all along the shore. Because there are so many of them, they remind the speaker of the Milky Way, the galaxy that scientists say contains about one trillion stars, including the sun. The speaker humanizes the daffodils when he says they are engaging in a dance.

1 ofc I hate this shit HHHHHHH i only like discussing about philosophy, psychology, politics, and other similar topics

 

[Dundee]

Ok Lesson 1.
Your teacher, like most is very lazy.
He is going to tell you to not copy, don't plagiarise, put your brain into gear etc etc.
But He/She is a fake. It seems he has not even taken the time to make his own assesment of this wonderful poem. I say this because if you search on his supposed analysus.

So my suggestion is go to his own reference site, look at the analysis that the nuff nuff teacher plagiarized, understand what it says. And rewrite it to something he or she wants to hear.

 

[Wraith Sheppard]

Well, I did not understand anything from the link you gave me. Didn't find anything i was looking for
however when i read the last part once again I noticed that he has used two sentences where his mood is described

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood

engaged in, involving, or reflecting deep or serious thought.
a pensive mood

&

They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;

the state or situation of being alone.
she savored her few hours of freedom and solitude
synonymer: loneliness, solitariness, isolation, seclusion, sequestration, withdrawal, privacy, peace

and maybe daffodils are used as a symbold
of happiness in the last part?

And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils

assuming this is the "later" part of his feelings... which part would be the "first" part ?

 

[coubob]

he felt joy

 

[Dundee]

OK so understand what your looking for first.

Simile

Here is a hint or two...

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud (simile)
That floats on high over vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

Continuous as the stars that shine (metaphor)
And twinkle on the milky-way
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance (personification)

The waves beside them danced: but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: (?? What is this ??)
A poet could not buy the gay
In such a jocund company:
Gazed – and gazed – but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils

In my mind his initial emotion is one of wonder and surprise.
I wandered lonely as a cloud...
When all at once I saw a crowd....

Which later gives way to joy in the memory of the daffodils
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils

Comon dude, any more and we will need to claim the assessment for our own resume
This should be enough to get you on the right track. But your going to need to fill it out a bit.
Have a good read of all parts of your assignment and remember what you did in class to make
sure that you are fulfilling the assignment criteria.
Also print out a rough draft and run it past your teacher before submission to make sure your
on the right track.

Hope this gets you started
