One Need Not Be a Chamber by Emily Dickinson The poem indeed has a lot of relevancy to the lives of people in comparison to other poems. The use of metaphors and the precautious use of diction that meets all the purpose in conveying messages of how one is not capable of escaping from his or her mind but instead has an opportunity of escaping the people's presence (Dickinson 1). From this poem, Emily communicated messages more tangibly through the description of chambers and houses as something that has solid walls thus making it impossible for one find its way through since doors are not present for escaping from the confinements in case one wants to escape because of fear or personal decision. Concerning the structure

    The poem “ A Soul Selects Her Own Society,” by Emily Dickinson was first interpreted by me as a soul or human being that picks her friends carefully and completely ignores the rest like they don't exist in life.

The second line, then - shuts the door, means that she does not allow more friends to join the soul atmosphere which is restated in the next line, present no more. The next lines of the poem are, Unmoved - she notes the…

    Although there are many versions of Emily Dickinson’s poems, there are two versions of the same poem about a well that will be discussed. Version A edited in 1890 and Version B, which is closest to the original, by Ralph Franklin from 1999 are two translations of an Emily Dickinson poem that through specific edits such as structure, line breaks, punctuations, and word choice helps influence the version’s overall effect. The structure of a poem plays a significant role in telling a story an author wishes to portray. Structuring a poem in a specific way benefits not only the tone, however, it also benefits the sound and rhythm.

The diction used appears to be simple and literal yet their true meanings may be left to reader interpretation, such as the fly the narrator sees.…
