Carriage

Throughout literature, the topic of death and is a common theme often widely addressed and analyzed across many different forms of literary works. This can especially be seen between Emily Dickinson’s poem, “Because I could not stop for Death” (1890) and The Band Perry’s song, “If I Die Young” both works portray a woman experiencing the journey of death and the journey of transitioning into the afterlife, however with contrasting tones of the acceptance of death. Dickinson’s poem portrays an…

Oedipus Crux, the article I read was deceptively simple. On the exterior, the article posed a simple question, did Oedipus actually murder his father. It used this question to weave a counter the dominant narrative that the majority of people believe. Kurt Fosso talks about the process of teaching his kids in class, and through his teaching of contrasting perspective about the play Oedipus Rex, the kids, “ initially viewed this task perverse or just plain impossible”[Fosso 2]. He diagnoses the…

Emory was so excited that she hugged Amelia in front of everybody, showing that she did not care if people knew she had a white friend. They hopped up on the carriage together and headed to the flower patch Amelia had discovered earlier that morning.

As one can see in the speech given by Sojourner Truth in 1851, “Ain’t I a Woman”, she believes that women’s right and, even more specifically, African American women’s right are extremely important. In her speech presented in Akron, Ohio, she takes numerous points of her opponents and finds counterclaims to rebut them. She uses points such as how she has been treated compared to how other women have been treated, the lack of intelligence the men assume she has, and she even poses the question of…

By conveying Death as polite and courteous, the narrator casts an air of tranquility, rather than fear, as he escorts her to the carriage. The notion of Death being kind gives off a sense that further…

got into a carriage with two men named Death and Immortality. Death is a symbol of the body passing away, and Immortality is a symbol of the body dying, but the soul living on (i.e. the afterlife). “Because I could not stop for Death -/He kindly stopped for me -”(1-2). This line implies that people don’t think of death, mainly because they are afraid of it. Dickinson seems to dismiss that fear as being unnecessary by having Death stop and kindly asks people to join him in his carriage. After she…

stanza in this poem depicts the narrator’s “journey from one world to the next” as she travels through life accompanied by Death (Nesteruk 32). Dickinson seems to suggest that we grow to see life as a never-ending journey, when it is instead a short carriage-ride to the grave. In the last stanza, when the narrator reaches her end, she…

“We passed the school,where children strove/ at recess-in the ring”. This reveals that the carriage was moving slow enough for her to notice children on the playground challenging one another. The fact that children are out at recess indicates that it is probably early afternoon or possibly after lunch. This fact sets a timeline of when her journey…
