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

question:

write a 1500-word historical investigation report. use exposition, narration, description, argumentation or some combination writing to support the main proposition. you will give this report orally.

there's many interesting events that have occurred over the course of humanity's existence. off the top of my head, you could discuss the cold war; the world wars (1 & 2); american civil rights movements; the russian or french revolutions. world war ii has ended. you are the leader of a great superpower—one of two   in the world. to keep the balance of power in your nation’s favor, you want to   gain as many allies as possible. you are particularly interested in gaining the   support of nations in africa, asia, and central and south america who do not   yet favor either superpower.   you call your advisers together to develop policies for making uncommin.

hope this !
