How have these two authors expressed their relationships with nature? After reading
and analyzing "The Calypso Borealis," an essay by John Muir, and William
Wordsworth's poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," write an essay in which you
describe how each author views nature and answer the question. Support your
discussion with evidence from the text.
Hook: "It seems wonderful that so frail and lovely a plant has such power over human
hearts" says John Muir in "Calypso Borealis".
A. Bridge: Muir's essay is an example of naturalism, which is used to describe a flower
in accurate detail to emphasize natures beauty. Wordsworth's poem relies on nature to
evoke emotion in a romantic style to describe his encounter with a field of flowers. Both
John Muir and William Wordsworth engage with nature in their essay and poem,
respectively, in "Calypso Borealis" and"I wandered lonely as a cloud".
B. Thesis: William Wordsworth and John Muir used imagery and diction to show how
nature takes them to a new world, leaving a positive impact on their happiness.
William Wordsworth uses imagery and diction to reveal how nature influences his
blissfulness by utilizing the romantic style of writing
"Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way."
"Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance."
"Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way."
When he compares the field of daffodils to stars, it creates the picture of beauty beyond
what he could describe. He is saying that an abundance of daffodils share the same
amount of beauty and wonder as a sky filled of stars
"Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance."
The daffodils "spritely dance" reveals an uplifting joy he discovers in nature.
His Diction, describing the daffodils has a positive connotation and creates an image of
happy care free flowers
Conclusion for topic sentence:
The allure of raw nature creates a miracle cure for unhappiness.
John Muir utilizes the style of naturalism to express imagery and diction to portray how
nature impacts his happiness.
"Hunger and weariness vanished, and the only after the sun was low in the west I
splashed on through the swamp, strong and exhilarated as if never more to feel any
mortal care."
"rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty..."
" Glorifying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms,
thunderclouds, winds, in the woods welcomed as friends"
