1 7. Select at least three poems by Dickinson of related significance and make an argument for your selection based upon a close reading of each poem. Ignorance is a prevalent theme in the assorted poems of Emily Dickinson. I have selected the poems 305, 449 and 1129 as they depict various manifestations of ignorance and also display a keen sense of irony, which perfectly accentuates the vicious condemnation of all that is (and isn’t).

notion of a peaceful death. Dickinson also accomplishes the rhythm of the poem by having very subtle rhymes hidden in the poem. An example of one rhyming pair in the poem is me and immortality which is a slant rhyme. The other rhyme in the poem is Civility and eternity and together they create an eye rhyme.

Today, civil unrest floods the streets of whatever city has committed the ultimate act of oppression, injustice, or violation. The people are chaotic, and they demand to be heard. From the pit of their stomachs the streets ring out in a symphony of cacophony. “Justice!” they cry, “Justice!” they plead, “Justice!” they scream. But just who’s justice are they asking for? Our society has so savagely depicted Justice that her sword now lies limp, her eyes are scolding- blindfold disregarded, and her…

Therefore, for these reasons, the day could be said to symbolize the civility of the superego and the night could be said to represent the compulsions of the id.
