<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The clothing we buy in the commonplace in the boutiques is usually created by using synthetic or artificial fabrics. Such attire looks attractive when worn, but it is not good for the skin and from an ecological perspective. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Natural fabrics include cotton, wool, silk, bamboo, hemp, jute and more. For instance, cotton protects from harmful UV rays and is 100% breathable and non-hypoallergenic fabric. Whereas, silk is soft and feminine, it usually has a sheen to it and mostly worn by females. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Perhaps, many of us are not aware of such things which is why we continue to spend excessive amount of money on clothing without looking at the fabric we wear. Sometimes, individuals spend money excessively on clothing which is not ecologically sustainable. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">
<div style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: #073763;">It is our responsibility as citizens to take care of our environment and buy only natural fabrics instead of synthetic ones. It is advantageous for our skin in an unhealthy way and allows us to be eco-friendly citizens. </span></div>

<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In brief, many of us do not know where the products we buy were created and when we ask the employees they say they don't know.</span></div>

<b style="background-color: white; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Personal response</span></b></h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<div class="KonaBody" style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; min-height: 610px; padding-right: 5px; text-align: start;">
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px !important;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">I like the aforementioned poem because I love nature. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px !important;"><span style="text-align: left;">Daffodil or narcissus flower ( botanical name) is used in the poem as a metaphor of rebirth and is an </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">emblem of future prosperity. It can be found throughout the world. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px !important;"></span><br /></span> </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">At the beginning of the poem, the poet is isolated because he is not using his imagination. When the poet starts imagining about daffodils he feels serene within himself. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15pt;">The poet seems to be isolated and personifies daffodils throughout the poem. In the beginning, he uses cloud as a simile to represent his isolation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">Next, he creates a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">simile</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"> by comparing the quantity of daffodils to the “milky way” galaxy. Also, he personifies daffodils to represent a crowd in order to eliminate his feeling of isolation.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15pt; text-align: left;">

Since, daffodils don’t dance, but humans do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15pt; text-align: left;">

But, in fact, nothing is permanent. Everything comes to an end.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px !important;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px !important;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Then, he personifies the daffodils by using the word “head”. Since the head of the flowers is larger than the stem, he wonders how wonderfully the flowers support themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15pt; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15pt; text-align: left;">

Even the yellow color of the daffodils represent “happiness”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15pt; text-align: left;">
