'Romanticism vs Rationalism\r'

'Ro partticism vs Rationalism Romantics honor Individuality while, Rationalist value accommodateity. In the Poem â€Å"Ode: Intimation of Immortality from Recollections of early(a) childishness” by William Wordsworth, stanza VII deals with conformity. The young man will have to â€Å"fit his patois to dialogues f business, love, strife” (Wordsworth 13-14) just so that he fits in. He is trying to conform to the ‘imaginary’ rules of society. some other way he conforms is when he is a â€Å"little doer [that] cons another part” (Wordsworth 18). It’s give care rather of him existence himself he takes on different parts.He wants to fit into the crowd instead of being an individual. On the other tump over in the poem â€Å"Saturday at the canal” by Gary Soto, in that respect is a 17 course of study old guy that hates where he is. He wants to go to San Francisco to â€Å"be with concourse who knew more than triple chords on a guitar” (Soto 13-14); people that were following their own individuality. He also did something different then solely the people he knew, he â€Å"didn’t drink or smoke” (Soto 14). closely teenagers drink to fit in with the ‘ quiet’ people but, he goes against the grain. Rationalism is being safe and fitting into society while, romance is being yourself-different.Another aspect of Romanticism is innocence, and project being Rationalism. In â€Å"Ode: Intimation of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood” stanza V it talks approximately the innocence of a young child. â€Å" nirvana lies about us in our infancy” (Wordsworth 9) when we our born. Everyone says that heaven is the purest thing out there; they also say babies are. being so pure makes them innocent because they don’t know the difference between in good order or wrong. But innocence doesn’t last forever the boy â€Å"beholds the thinly” (W ordsworth 12) of innocence.The boy starts to experience more and loses his innocence. In â€Å"Saturday at the Canal” the 17 year old boy vox populi that â€Å" inculcate was [just] a sharp check in the roll book” (Soto 2) because he thought he had experienced enough of that environment. Another way that he thought he was experienced was the he â€Å"knew more than three cords on a guitar” (Soto 13-14). Being able to do that made him capable of being better than the people almost him. More experienced. These examples of Romanticism and Rationalism return the aspects of innocence and experience.\r\n'
