Passage 2: Excerpt from The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine, Mark Twain If we concentrate very carefully now, we will find ourselves in exactly the place we need to be. In fact, we will
find ourselves in a land not all that far from here - not all that far, but hard enough to find that you're likely never to get
there. I have tried. This land has a name, but it is much too difficult to pronounce. It would not be dignified to try.
Point of view:
How do you know?

can’t really write an essay but think about ur goal and think “how would i do this” sorry if it didn’t

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
