... In William Wordsworth's "We Are Seven," perception plays an important role in the relationship between the perceiver and the perceived. It plays an important role because it shows how the death of the girl's siblings is viewed differently by the speaker (the perceiver) and the girl (the perceived). Firstly, the speaker's perception of death is different from that of the girl. Heaven or the afterlife is viewed differently by both the speaker and the girl. In addition, the speaker represents cynicism and experience. The girl is perceived by the speaker as pastoral and innocent. Their different circumstances in life create the different opinions that they have. Finally, these areas of contention between the perceived and the perceiver create a situation where the two characters insist on their own individual perceptions and this shows how limiting individual perception can be. Death is viewed by the speaker as completely removing the dead
