1.Discuss the theme of memory as it runs through poems such as "Tintern Abbey," "Intimations of Immortality," and "The Solitary Reaper." How does Wordsworth believe memory works on the human character? How is memory important in sustaining the connection between the individual and nature?

Writing style:

William Wordsworth was born on April 7th, 1770, in Cockermouth, Cumberland, England. Young William's parents, John and Ann, died during his boyhood. Raised amid the mountains of Cumberland alongside the River Derwent, Wordworth grew up in a rustic society, and spent a great deal of his time playing outdoors, in what he would later remember as a pure communion with nature.
