For this fieldwork project, I have decided to analyze a poem. Out of the many poems that I have read in my entire life, I can’t recall one that really caught my attention and made me want to keep reading. That is, until now. Emily Dickinson’s poem, “My Life Has Stood A Loaded Gun,” is one heck of a masterpiece that I just have to talk about it. First, I would like to say that each stanza in this poem, had me feeling some type of way. Each line, brought a mess of imagery in my mind. Every dash I…

In “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson, Death is ready to claim the speaker’s soul, but just before she leaves they strove through memory lane. The speaker doesn’t seem scared at all because she called Death’s action “kindly”, making Death seem friendly.

The message is to enjoy life as long as you can because…

In Poe’s story, the narrator goes down the path of insanity over the eye of an old man and would plan the latter’s murder. In Dickinson’s poem, she uses death to portray the deterioration of her sanity. Poe and Dickinson both use the concept of hearing voices and death along with repetitive words and phrases to further develop…

I can remember going to Bay Beach with my family and thinking that the small wooden roller coaster was so impressive. However, as I grew up, I rode better and better roller coasters. Only then did I realize how much the one at Bay Beach pales in comparison. The funeral also shows this idea that our views of the world are not always correct and are subject to change . in "The Funeral" by Gordon Parks, the speaker changes their perspective of the world as their life goes on . Gordon Parks uses…

being is because they are different but alike as well. “The noiseless patient spider” is written by Walt Whitman. This poem is about a spider who cannot find a home, and allows the wind to find the perfect location. The second poem, written by Emily Dickinson, discusses a soul watching over an empire to see if she admires what she observes, if so, she will “shut the door”, or in other words get a host and live in that empire. There are many ways to compare the two poems, but this essay will only…
