Hi Georgia, I really enjoyed reading your blog this week. I think that the way you managed to analyse a poem in a creative and entertaining format is really smart. You do a great job at painting the scene as I was able to vividly picture the “glowing stars in the night sky” and the “snails climbing over dewy leaves” through your elaborate use of visceral imagery and descriptive language. Also, I felt myself being able to relate to this a lot and it gave me a sense of nostalgia as I cannot remember the last time I went outside and appreciated these little things, which I think is exactly the point that Wordsworth is trying to make. Therefore, you have encapsulated this idea brilliantly. My only suggestion for improvement is to not get carried away with listing the things you see as it can become a bit repetitive. Overall, I think you did a great job and I look forward to reading more of your work 🙂
An excellent peer review Anna. Supportive and yet gently critical where it needed to be. Great work.
