Abstract
This paper explores the purpose and usage of flowers in poetry using William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" as an example. It focuses on Wordsworth's choice of words and also on the greater profound concept that he is trying to depict. The first part of the paper focuses on interpreting the poem. It shows how Wordsworth eloquently uses figurative language, imagery, and personification to describe a scenic display of daffodils. The second part of the paper offers an analysis of the poem. In particular, it examines the concept of the futility of the individual when compared to the collective good of society, as shown in the context of man versus nature.
From the Paper
"Wordsworth overwhelms us with collective images in stanza 2, relating the daffodils to stars, describing them as stretching ?in never-ending line? (9) and also expressing that he sees ?ten thousand ... at a glance? (11). In the last line of stanza 1 he personifies the daffodils to be ?fluttering and dancing in the breeze? (6). We can elaborate on Wordsworth?s many collective images through this line. Frequently, communities or groups of people have trouble working together, but through Wordsworth?s personification of the daffodils, also seen in line 12 where the daffodils are ?tossing their heads in sprightly dance,? (12) we recognize that the daffodils are working together in unison with no trouble at all. Their ?dance? is in complete coordination."

Abstract
This paper discusses William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The paper discusses how the poem's speaker expresses the main idea of the poem that nature can have a profound effect upon man. It looks at the poet's use of specific poetic techniques including rhyme scheme, meter, imagery, simile, metaphor and personification.
From the Paper
"Several important poetic techniques are utilized by the poet in conveying the poem's basic meaning. The poem contains four six-line stanzas and one technique that can be identified is the poem's rhyme scheme, which is a quatrain-couplet scheme: ABABCC. Each of this poem's line is metered in iambic tetrameter. The poem utilizes vast amounts of visual imagery to convey the poet's experience with encountering the daffodils and their surroundings. It begins with an imagery of the clouds that float high over hills and valleys; it goes on to describe a host of daffodils, golden in color, residing by a lake and beneath the trees. The daffodils are furthermore described as dancing as a breeze passes by them. The poem continues to compare the visual imagery of the stars as they shine on the Milky Way galaxy to the thousands of daffodils as they stretch and dance along with the water's waves in the lake. The final imagery left for readers to experience is the poet lying on his couch and fondly recalling the memory of the daffodils and their delightful dance."

Abstract
This paper elucidates on Wordsworth?s choice of words and also on the greater profound concept that he is trying to depict to his readers. The first part of the paper explains the poem showing how Wordsworth eloquently uses figurative language, imagery, and personification to describe a scenic display of daffodils. The second part of the paper offers an in-depth analysis of the poem, examining the concept of the futility of the individual when compared to the collective good of society, as shown in the context of man versus nature.
From the Paper
"In stanza 3, Wordsworth compares the daffodils to another natural image, waves. ?The waves beside them danced; but they / Outdid the sparkling waves in glee? (13-14). He personifies both the daffodils and the waves to ?dance,? again suggesting the ability of both to work as one, but here we also see that Wordsworth decides that the daffodils make much more of an impression on him than the waves. Both objects work in unison, but the difference between the two is that when Wordsworth looks at the waves he only sees one object. When he looks at the daffodils he sees ?ten thousand? objects! The waves lack strength in numbers, which is the one aspect of the daffodils which impresses Wordsworth the most; the fact that these ?ten thousand? separate things can unite and ?dance? so beautifully together."

Romantic Poetry, 1999.
Examines Romantic elements of William Blake's "The Tyger," Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" & William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."

From the Paper
"This study will examine three poems by English poets of the Romantic period: William Blake's "The Tyger," Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan," and William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as A Cloud." The study will examine the basic principles of Romanticism and show how each poem upholds those principles. Although the three poets demonstrate different levels of intensity and different approaches to reality, all three fall within the Romantic mantle in their emphasis on nature and the imagination as expressions of a deeper reality. The Romantic poets, as Scholes et al. write, tended to be "transcendental in their philosophy, seeing nature as symbolic of the Creator's presence, and natural creation as analogous to the lesser creations of imaginative human beings" (Scholes et al. 606). Cuddon notes these features of Romantic poetry:..:

Lonely Planet Publications, 2002.
This paper is a business and industry assessment of Lonely Planet Publications which publishes tour books for value-seeking tourists.

Abstract
This paper states that Lonely Planet Publications is a highly successful organization that has successfully grown and developed in a niche market providing high quality and highly factual travel information on a global basis. The author believes that the company has a very solid reputation and wishes to continue its growth without sacrificing the internal culture that has been a cornerstone of its success. The author underscores that both the Five Forces and Strategic Group Models de-emphasize the role of innovation and the significance of individual company differences while overemphasizing the importance of industry and strategic group structure as determinants of company profit rates; therefore, in analyzing Lonely Planet specifically, this can lead to dangerously erroneous conclusions.

From the Paper
"Lonely Planet, for the most part, was protected against these industry trends and really leveraged the travel market niche by providing readers with highly factual (and highly accurate) information. They did not try to compete on an entertainment level, nor did they go out of their way to endorse outside products, go overboard on advertising, or any other approach that would de-focus the message they were trying to convey?Lonely Planet is about providing factual and highly accurate information to the traveler. Many readers were know to tear out pages perceived to be of little value, to ?skin down? the book and make it lighter, smaller, more easily packable. By catering to this market niche, they were able also to make themselves more resilient to the effects of recession."

From the Paper
"A number of issues have been identified which need to be addressed in order to sustain the long-term viability of Lonely Planet as a company. The company has recently been approached by a well known large software company looking to expand its dominance in the media space. While the prospects of acquisition can sometimes be very promising, the ownership of Lonely Planet appears to prefer its independence and creative freedom and as such has, so far, been able to hold of acquisition by larger entities."

"The Lonely Londoners", 2008.
An analysis of the novel "The Lonely Londoners" by Samuel Selvon.
3,852 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 8 sources, MLA, £ 74.95

Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Lonely Londoners" is the story of the West Indian immigrants who struggle to survive on "the diamond pavements of Caribbean London." It looks at how the constant skimping and scraping for a living which Selvon depicts throughout the book seems to suggest that he does not approve of large numbers of West Indians trying to settle in England and how they would have more fun and be happier if they lived in their country.
From the Paper
"The novel starts with the arrival of Henry Oliver, Galahad, from Trinidad. Moses, the main character, goes to Waterloo Station to meet him. It is a very important place, because it is the point through which all the West Indies enter England. " With the opening scene, Selvon introduces readers to a nondescript public space that was fast becoming a Caribbean gathering site and that was serving in the 1950s as the smaller-scale, British equivalent of New York's Ellis Island." Thus, it has become the symbol for West Indian immigrants, and it is a place of not only arrivals, but also departures. Some people go there just to see familiar faces. "They like to see the familiar faces, they like to watch their countrymen coming off the train, and sometimes they might spot somebody they know." Moses feels homesick when he arrives at the station.

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers, a tale involving five main characters that struggle against the isolation and despair brought on by circumstances in their lives. The paper contends that McCullers wrote this story in order to analyze the lives of social outcasts and to learn how they try to break out of their unfavorable positions in life. The paper claims that she wished to show that despite being misfits in society, either due to their unpopular opinions on important issues or unusual circumstances in life, they were still complex individuals who also wished to love and be loved by others.
From the Paper
"The novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers is a tale involving five main characters that struggle against the isolation and despair brought on by circumstances in their lives. The story takes place during the late 1930's in an unnamed deep Southern town. McCullers begins the story by introducing the deaf-mute John Singer; he used to live with his friend Spiros Antonapoulos who was also a deaf-mute. Singer doted on his friend a great deal even though it was apparent that Antonapoulos never showed any appreciation towards it. Later Antonapoulos became mentally ill and was taken away to an insane asylum despite Singer's protestations. Due to this, Singer had to move out of the home he once shared with his friend and become a boarder at the house of the Kelly's."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Carson McCullers' novel "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", which is set in a small town in the South in the late 1930s, five main characters are isolated from the rest of the society for different reasons. The author relates that Dr. Benedict Mady Copeland, the noblest character in the novel, is isolated because he is alienated from his family and from the other black people of the community. He is well educated and knows what is needed to solve the problems of the black community in his small southern town. The paper concludes that his isolation is because he has a very intellectual approach in explaining his viewpoints through his speeches, which cannot be clearly understood by people who have little or no education.

From the Paper
"Dr. Benedict Mady Copeland is a man of principles and believes that furthering one's education will further one's standing in life. As a young man, Dr. Copeland went to the North to get a good college education. When he became a doctor, he came back to the South so that he can make use of his education in order to uplift the way of life in the black community of his small southern home town.
Dr. Copeland also believes that blacks are being stereotyped as ignorant because of the way they speak. This is why Dr. Copeland is very cautious on how he speaks."

The Lonely Martyr in Poetry, 2005.
Examines the theme of society's disregard for human suffering and death, poems by W.H. Auden and Robert Frost.
736 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 0 sources, £ 18.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores two particular poems that effectively address society's universal attitude of disregard when faced with tragedy and the lonely, silent horror of death. The paper examines "Musee des Beaux Arts", by W.H. Auden, which sheds some insight into the history of emotional disengagement as it has occurred through the ages. Conversely, it explores Robert Frost's poem, "Out, Out", which describes a powerful, isolated example of the single-minded ambivalence of human nature.
From the Paper
"This statement lends credence to society's somewhat Darwinian state of mind. The loss was not their own, but perhaps a gritty reminder of how close death can come to one's doorstep. By turning away and seemingly picking up where they left off, they were disconnecting from the eventual certainty of their own demise in an attempt to restore the predictable, comforting rhythm of life."

A Lonely Monster, 2002.
A look at the theme of loneliness in the book "Frankenstein".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a detailed look at the book of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. The writer of this paper explores the fictional element of using a theme when examining the story of the monster. The theme that runs throughout the fabric of the book is the theme of loneliness.
From the Paper
"The theme of loneliness is woven throughout the book of Frankenstein. It is more than a simple theme of what loneliness feels like to an adult, or to a child, but to both. Rarely in real life, does one have the ability to understand the concept of loneliness, from both standpoints. By the time the child grows up, he or she has often forgotten what it felt like, and they only know the manifestations of adult loneliness. The monster in the book of Frankenstein grows from a newborn baby, to an old man in emotions in a fast forward pace. It is a perfect setting with which to observe the different ways that we handle loneliness and how we react it to depending on our age, understanding of the world, and other factors of our existence as we go through life. Over the course of the novel, the monster displays the theme of loneliness in several different ways that are directly dependent on what stage of development the monster is in."

Abstract
This paper shows how John Steinbeck uses loneliness as a way of showing the reader why people of this era behaved as they did. The writer shows that Steinbeck also uses the theme of loneliness to explain why two completely different people could be the best of friends.
From the Paper
"In John Steinbeck?s novel Of Mice and Men, an intriguing theme of loneliness emerges to give the reader an impression about the book?s characters. This loneliness is seen in many different ways. It?s seen in the thoughts and dreams of the migrant workers, and it?s seen in the despairs of the regulars who work on the farm. In this book, loneliness is a major factor in why the characters behave the way they do."
