To show what you have learned about revising and editing, you will revise and edit the
second body paragraph of your response to the module writing prompt. If you need
inspiration, check out the original and revised body paragraph in the lesson.
In the space below, paste your second body paragraph as it was written in your first
complete draft.
To start off, John Muir and William Wordsworth use imagery to show their loving relationship with
nature. According to Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth,” When all at once I saw a
crowd, A host, of Golding daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the
breeze.” Here William shows imagery by describing how the daffodils look. The way he describes it just
shows how much he loves nature. According to the Calypso Borealis by John Muir,” But when the sun
was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on
the mossy bank of a stream.” Muir is explaining the scenario. Everything is sad and gloomy until he sees
this beautiful flower that turns that sadness into happiness.

dancing in the breeze.” William Wordsworth also stated in wandered lonely as a Cloud,” I gazed- and
gazed but little thought what wealth she show to me had brought”. This sentence I think is great
example because William is using imagery to describe how the daffodils look. In addition, he is using
imagery by describing what he saw and that it made him feel wealthy. The way he describes it just
shows how much he loves nature. To continue, as John Muir explains in Calypso Borealis,” But when the
sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful
Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream.” Muir is explaining the scenario where everything is sad and
gloomy until he sees this beautiful flower that turns that sadness that he had into happiness. Both
authors use unique writings to express their feelings towards nature.
