Recommended: Critical analysis of wordsworth's tintern abbey

Now this essay was suppose to be about three messages from Tinturn Abbey but I was more interested in the Theory of Form and I really wanted to write about that. Really Tinturn Abbey is all about this theory just from a personal point of view. While reading the poem Wordsworth wrote about Tinturn Abbey, he visits this place multiple times and loves it there. He lives in a big city for five years without a chance to go back to Tinturn Abbey and when he finally goes he takes his sister and writes the poem. In the poem he talks about how pretty it is and the smells and sights and goes through the five natural senses and then moves on to Socrates Theory of Form. When we talked about this in class it really interested me. I never thought about how there are physical things and we become attached to them but there are also metaphysical things that we care about. One of the examples you brought up really got me thinking. When you talked about helping the heroin addicts and …show more content…

For me its our farm. I love going out there but its an escape for me! There is so much freedom and I don’t have to worry about the real world and all the stress that it brings. At the being of my high school career I dated this girl and she wasn’t really who I thought she was and she spread all of these rumors about me that were very hurtful and our farm was the physical and metaphysical place I was able to go and just leave the real world behind. The other thing that really got me thinking was the physical sex and the metaphysical love. Its really sad to think about how half or over half of marriages end in divorce. I think people get caught up in the physical attritions of a person and they don’t care to actually look deeper. I honestly think that society has become obsessed with creating norms or stereotypical looks and appearances. Girls have to have this hair or guys have to look like

Conformity can be accepted, but when a person rejects conformity that leads to them having self esteem issues. Society has created this perception of beauty and that has been around for many years. When people follow that idea about what is beautiful and what is not they discourage their own appearance. In Cyrano de Bergerac, Cyrano is insecure about his nose. “My old friend- look at me, And tell me how much hope remains for me with this protuberance… I wish i had a woman too, Walking with little steps under the moon, And holding my arm so, and smiling.

Wordsworth also uses imagery to expresses a similar experience. In the first stanza he describes “A host, of golden daffodils; /beside the lake, beneath the trees, /Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” (Wordsworth Ln 4-6). Words such as “host”, “golden”, “Fluttering” and “dancing”, all appeals to the reader’s sense of sight, hearing, and smell. It brings us into the scene.

For example, he also says, “It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met.” He found himself at one of his lowest points in this excursion and once he saw Calypso Borealis, He didn’t see this flower as just another part of nature but also a part of him. In the same way, Poet William Wordsworth uses imagery and personification to disclose his relationship with nature; He says, “I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er 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.” In this part of the poem

Many things involved in my life are outside involving nature. I enjoy hiking because it is a fun thing to do, and I love seeing different parts of nature including the views at the very end. Seeing all the animals is also a good thing to see since I also enjoy hunting. I enjoy being with other living things besides just humans, because it makes me feel different in a good way. Being outside playing sports, hiking, running and living is who I am, and brings me together with my family, friends and other animals.

Visibly, corresponding geometry was perspicaciously reinterpreted into architectural elements such as walls and stairs. While an effective approach, this method is very literal in its architectural translation. Conversely, an extensive assessment of Wigglesworth and Till’s, “The Meal” drawing unveils a potential poetic form of interpretation through mapping (see Figure 4.2-33).This method involves the recording of actions and movement during a process, in this case the partaking of food via a

Wordsworth’s whole poem is a personal expression of experience. For example, in the first few lines, Wordsworth begins his poem with the statement about his personal experience from five years prior; “Five years have past; five summers/ with the length Of five long winters!” (Wordsworth, William. “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey”). Not only is his reminiscence of the past a representation of the qualities T.S.

The days, which were once spent in the serene of the outdoors, are now filled with “getting” the material things that only make the hearts of man grow more selfish. The money as well as youth of people is being “spent” away on items that ultimately will not bring true pleasure to the soul. The materialism that Wordsworth encounters is not much different from that which can be seen in society today. Throughout the poem, diction is also used to explicitly show how the shift to materialism was a cognizant decision made by the society as a whole. These growing material desires did not

I like to spend my time outdoors, playing softball; it’s very important to be outside because you can enjoy the nature’s God has given us. Being outside is very soothing; it helps to focus on the important things in life. Nature is like a second home to humans. We can survive on our own in nature because we can live on the resources that are provided by nature.

Everything past the bait shop is just nature and occasional farms. I really enjoy the outdoor nature feeling especially during the summer. I always look out the window at all the different trees and wildlife. When we get close my dad begins to drive very slowly due to the giant ditches in the dirt “road”. My dad stops after each ditch and plans out how he is going to get around the next one without his car slipping into it.

For Romantic poets, there is no greater force upon humans than one of the many forms of the imagination. For William Wordsworth, this force is exemplified in memory. The greatest example of his exploration of memory comes from "Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour, July 13, 1798. " In it he displays his opinion of memory as a powerful source of enlightenment and pleasure through his interaction with the natural world. It becomes something he recalls time and time again to ease the ills of everyday life, giving him solace that he hopes can also affect the companion of the poem, his sister, Dorothy. Through his experience within "Tintern Abbey," Wordsworth presents his view that memory is a powerful balm that can allow its bearer some degree of relief from the adverse situations that a person may face throughout life.
