Question 2 (3.5 points)
- The poem 'Daffodils’ written by William Wordsworth in 1804. William
Wordsworth is a well-known romantic poet who believed in showing simple and creative
expressions through his poems.
- Daffodils is one of the most popular poems of the Romantic Age, unfolding the
poet's excitement, love and praise for a field blossoming with daffodils.
- William Wordsworth wrote Daffodils on a stormy day in spring, while walking
Ullswater Lake, in England. He imagined that the daffodils were dancing and calling him
to join and enjoy the breezy nature of the fields.
- The poem contains six lines in four stanzas as an appreciation of daffodils. In the
poem, Wiliam Wordsworth found his loneliness interrupted by a sight that remained ever
afterwards imprinted on his inward eye. …

Question 3 (3.5 points)
- The character of Sue: Sue and Johnsy were both artists and good friends. They
shared a small flat in an old building. Sue was a very loyal and caring friend. She did
everything she could to take care of Johnsy when she fell ill with pneumonia. She not
only took care of Johnsy physically, but also helped by earning money by selling her
paintings. She cooked and ensured that Johnsy received the best treatment.
- The character of Johnsy: Johnsy on the other hand appears to have been a
depressed and gloomy person, who is very self-absorbed. She did not have the will to
fight against her illness, and did not respond to the doctor or to Sue’s care and concern.
She was highly imaginative and superstitious, as she came to believe that her life was
linked to the number of leaves on the creeper outside her window. She believed that she
would die the day the last leaf of the creeper fell.
It was because of this stubborn belief that Behrman, an older artist, lost his life
when he went out in the storm to paint a leaf onto the creeper so that Johnsy would not
realise that the last leaf had actually fallen.
