The opening line ‘it was a world of glass, sparkling and motionless’, is in the past tense and is quite effective as it makes the world sound very fragile and isolated. Laurie Lee (Cider with Rosie) uses a lot more imagery in his writing than Wordsworth does in his poem it allows you to see what he is remembering. Cider with Rosie is very different, it was not written in a time when nature was sublime, it is written simply to recap a memory that the author (Laurie Lee) has. Wordsworth used many techniques and styles to make the reader feel this feeling of sublime. Cider with Rosie is from 1959, it is in prose. Before 1914 nature was an important part of life, it was seen as magical and very romantic. The Prelude is written by William Wordsworth from before 1914 and is written in the style of poetry. Compare and contrast the presentation of a winter scene in Wordsworth’s extract from the Prelude and the extract from Cider with Rosie The two extracts I am going to compare and write about are The Prelude and Cider with Rosie.
