One paper finished, yet another to start

Well, I finished paper number one for this week, Pere Goriot. Now I need to begin my paper on William Wordsworth. I'm writing about his poem called, The Tables Turned. Has anyone read this one? This is my favorite poem out of all of his. It's about putting books aside and enjoying nature. It also tells readers that nature gives us wisdom that books cannot provide us. I'm having a difficult time finding a lot of sources and deciding what exactly I'm going to analyze, but give it time. It's due on Sunday by 7pm, but I really want to try to turn it in early! (I wonder if professors are impressed by this?) I know that when I am a teacher and if I have a student turning in papers early, I will be absolutely thrilled!

P.S. William Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads is one of the hardest things I've ever read. I cannot get through it!

  1. I don't know. I had a lot more trouble trying to get through Colerdidge's Autobiographia Literaria.

    Will she grade our papers already?!

  2. I finally got mine back, I got an A! I am totally shocked! But I put forth a lot of time and effort for that paper!

    I hope the next one flows easily....But I think it may be a little harder!!

  3. I am working on my Coleridge paper now. I am hoping that I do better on this one than the Wordsworth paper :)

  4. I don't know how you got through Pere Goriot. It was so boring! What class is this for? I had to read it for English Studies.
