1. Nature over human-made.
2. Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, just like the surrounds and the outside give good descriptions which allow the reader to really imagine the countryside. Also The World is Too Much with Us. Also the work o Shelly Ozymandias and Ode to the West wind.
3. " O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, ike ghosts form an enchanter fleeing", (Ode to The West Wind). My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing Beside remains", (Ozymandias).
4. I really feel that these writers wrote the way they did was just simply the fact of what time period they were in, and also who were their influences you know. Those people played a huge role in everything. The theme I choose is highly represented in the works of the romantics I mean the whole nature over man made. It completely makes sense though. Man made things will break down and crumble while nature will last forever.

romanticism
1. Yes I do agree with the Romantics. I believe if you follow your emotions then you'll always make the correct decisions.
2. The Tyger and The Lamb represent human innocence and experience. The thing is the more experiences have the more innocence you loose. It seems its a loose loose situation.
3. Yes I do agree with Woodsworth, it seems all people not all people but a majority are really materialistic. They want money the go and blow it on things, sometimes they don't even really know.
4. The last vivid dream I had was that I was in school in some far away town, and all the kids I attend school with now were there and the school flooded, and we were all going to drown to our deaths, but right when I was going to die I woke up.

blake burns Graham Luber
1. It seems in his two poems there is dialect that is from Scotland, where Blake Burns is from. He writes these poems to show extent of Scottish influence.
2. Both of the poems talk about being alive and living with another, an that it is important to enjoy life while you can. It goes against the age of reason and the logic to justify everything done.
3. It's a hill or stands for difficult times ahead.
4. He grew up in a very visionary household, in which he shows this in his poetry.
5. It seems they both are in the same structure, one shows human experience, and the other shows the innocence in human life. It seems Blake believes these two are the halves of the human soul.
6. He basically tells that rural verse urban surroundings is that he associates the rural with being open and free of the burdens of city life. Romanticism is about being open minded and being free and like one with earth.

The Romantic Era
1. The Romantic Era started in 1785 and it ended in 1832. As a rebellion against the rational, orderly form of Neoclassicsim. It contrasted with the fact due to it was emotion over reason, nature over human artifice.
2. King George the third his antagonistic policies toward the American colonies were directly responsible for the American Revolution. Napolean Bonaparte and the French army were defeated by the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo in 1815.
3. Thomas Gray a lifelong scholar was not a prolific poet, but the few poems he wrote reflect a combination of Neoclassical and Romantic ideals.
Robert Burns won acclaim as the national poet of Scotland. Burns avoided the formal restrained language of the Neoclassical writers and used instead his native Scottish dialect. The use of everyday speech in literature shocked some of Burn's contemporaries, but it endeared Burns to the rural and working classes.
William Blake was a poet, painter, mystic, and visionary, much of Blakes writies is an attack on a the complacent rationality and orerliness of the Enlightenment.
4. The formation of lyrical Ballads.
5. Are long stories containing elements of suspense, mystery, magic, and the macabre, with the exotic settings.
6. A novel of manners.

Pride and Prejudice
1. I think Elizabeth had the pride and Darcy has the pride.
2. The fact that woman cannot own land and manage a household. That you have to marry in to a family.
3. Like when they are all at the dances and in the kitchen and Elizabeth turns down the offer of marriage.
4. To take the hand of man in marriage and be he husband, its not about love, its about financial and political compatibilities. The woman didn't have as much say in marriage, the really just needed to get married to thrive and live on and not he a burden on their parents.
5. That arranged marriages aren't for the best, and that its all really about true love. An that beingn arranged to marry some one puts on a lot of pressure.

Candide Blog Graham Luber
1. Well it starts off with Candide be taught various subjects at the barons castle. Unfortunately he had a little smoochin session withe the baron's daughter Cundegonde and was kicked out of the castle. After leaving and nearly freezing to death he gets good fortune and is put into a regiment of troops. Then on one fine day he decides to take a walk and he is beaten for it, the pardoned by the King then goes to battle and flees to a few villages that are burned down then decides to go to Holland. Where he meets a man and he is asked if he is thinks the pope is anti- christe and he says no and is told to leave. Afterwards he meets a man who gives him bread and two coins and some old brew then he runs into his old professor back from the barons castle and he is no a homeless beggar.
2. He is almost stating that what goes around comes around. Or one day you have good fortune and the next its all gone.
3. That governments make rules and live by others not even following the ones that the set for themselves. About religion is that some people can't accept others faith, the have to brandish them for what ever reason.
4. Now he is homeless toothless and a beggar.
5. I agree and disagree sometimes things do happen for the best but what if you want a different out come then what you get I think you should have the power to influence it by what ever means necessary.
