The Strength of a Family Williams Wordworth We are Seven

The Strength of a Family The main character of William Wordsworth’s poem, “We are Seven” is an eight-year girl that knows more about devotion to her family the most adults ever know. It seems that author is who comes across this child on his journeys. He takes a liking to her right away and even thought, “Her beauty made me glad.” I quickly find out that she is one of seven brothers and sisters …

…She remembers them fondly, which is endearing. She remembers playing, but no longer plays and this is a tragedy. Even though her brother and sister are dead, she still maintains “Their graves are green, they may be seen” but the man is never convinced and fancies her as foolish. This little girl is strong, devoted, and deeply rooted in steadfast religious beliefs. These are qualities that everyone could stand to have a little more of.
