 Imagine that Voltaire has been transported by time machine to contemporary America and is at work on a new philosophical tale. Summarize the plot of his new book in three-four pages. Then write one-two pages in which you explain or analyze the significance of the tale you’ve just summarized.  


OR 

 You should be familiar with these poems from class discussion. Your task now is to do some historical research—e.g., into Wordsworth’s life, Romantic-era ideas about nature, the “charters” that seem to matter in “London,” or the social conditions in Pushkin’s Russia, etc. Once you’ve done this research, you should write a brief essay in which you discuss your findings and how they’ve changed your understanding of the poem. Imagine you’re explaining the poem to a friend: what historical information would he (or she) need to really get what the poem is about?
