Then the girls had led her here, blindfolded still, through the corridors of betsy johnson's house and shut her in the cellar. it would be an hour before they came to get her, but then rat court would be all over and she would say what she had to say and go home. for tonight was the grand finale, the trial by fire. there really was no doubt now that she would get in. she could not think of anyone who had ever been invited into the high school sorority and failed to get through initiation time. but even so, her case would be quite different. she would see to that. she could not exactly say what had decided her revolt, but it definitely had something to do with tracy and something to do with the heather birds. —"initiation," sylvia plath read this passage. in your own words, explain how the central conflict leads millicent to change.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
