William Wordsworth is known for his focus on nature. Choose only ONE of the poems we read by Wordsworth. Think about the Romantic period – what was going on historically and socially – and how that affected what the authors wrote about. Based on what we know about the Romantic period, why specifically do you think Wordsworth focuses so much on nature in his writing? What does he say about nature in your chosen poem that helps prove this?

In your response, you must include mention of something happening at the time that caused a focus on nature, as well as textual evidence from your chosen Wordsworth poem to support your ideas. Respond in 4-6 complete sentences

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
