Question

Write two to three sentences explaining the similarities and differences between the haiku by Bashō and the first stanza of Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." Consider each poem’s structure and use of motifs.

Answer 1

Answer:

The similarities in the works of both authors showed that they both love nature.

From both literary works,  Basho and Wordsworth love nature and this can be seen in their works. They both stated that nature is important as it beautifies the environment and it's vital to our existence.

The difference between their literary works was that while Wordsworth was the partaker in the action and narrator, Basho was an observer. Wordsworth used the first-person point of view

Also, the majority of Woodsworth's words are adjectives while Basho followed the haiku tradition.
