__**Our argument for game day 1**__

- That Wordsworth and Coleridge wrote poetry that the "Average Joe" could relate to and understand, though the rich were the first to read it. - Lyrical Ballads both separated and unified the different social classes of that society and time period. The collection was used to show views on politics and society and the affects of certain current events such as the census, enclosure, and colonialism That they were not the first to put it in common language---footnote on p.406 and p.413 edited and added to by 1320847495 1320774310


 * __Our arguments for game day 2__**

-That Worsworth and Coleridge created a "movement" that not only revolutionized their society and time period, but also impacted out society today and the many forms of poetry. 1320774279

- Poetry before, during, and after wordworth and coleridge. - Poetry before was for the wealthy and well educated. Strict format, about politics and society. - Lyrical Ballads was for more of the common man, and not written so strictly. More about Nature and beautiful things. -Today, poetry is less prevalent as an artistic medium, and WW and CR would likely suggest that we should use our resources to promote poetry to the masses

Coleridge’s The Dungeon, which is a political statement of the treatment of prisoners. “And this place our forefathers made for man! This process of our love and wisdom To each poor brother who offends against us-- Most innocent, perhaps – and what if guilty? Is this the only cure? Merciful God! PP 217 (1320792048)

The only site posted on team 1's page is about poetry today and about how even though it's "dead," it is still very much alive.

As for team 2's sites [] talks about how poetry has affected protests and its role in them. [] is different peoples' opinions about what poetry is. Just average people it looks like. [] pretty much reviews different poems [] is all about Dorothy Wordsworth. Actually has a lot of background information about her. Helps to learn about her strange relationship with her brother and Coleridge. 1320788066

Wordsworth and Coleridge both had a passion of bringing enjoyment and enlightenment through poetry for the common man. Consequently, they set out on an experiment showing that poetry was not just for the elite but was as an evolving art form that everyone could appreciate. However, the critic’s reviews did not slow their sales of copies, they must have been on the right track according to Enotes, “This edition sold out in two years, and Wordsworth published a new edition, under his own name, in 1800. …Wordsworth published a third edition in 1802 with an enlarged “Preface,” and a final edition in 1805.” (Zott) (1320792048)
