Question

I need some help with a poem!

Answer 1

Why does William Wordsworth place the central idea where it is?

Answer 2

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Answer 3

A. It allows readers to discover the lesson the same way he did.

B. It begins with the important information first to generate interest.

C. It creates a "mid-point" so that the central idea serves as an anchor.

D. It appears in the title of the poem so that the reader always knows.

Answer 4

Any ideas?

Answer 5

Not really thats why i asked... But if anything I believe it would be C. It creates a "mid-point" so that the central idea serves as an anchor.
