This strengthens Bronte’s messag e of the poem because death is a stern topic that everyone can relate to in some way, focusing all the readers attention to what the poem’s message is trying to portray. Bronte’s poem helps captivate the reader with the flow of the poem through rhyme. Every stanza has a different rhyme scheme. The first stanza’s rhyme scheme is ABCBDEDE, second stanza is ABCB, and the third stanza is ABABCDCDEFEF. In contrast Dickinson’s poem uses roundabout rhymes instead of neatly rhyming everything like Bronte had; although Dickinson does not have the flow to the poem she can still captivate her readers attention through her roundabout rhymes. What the reader can take form both poems is, that hope is a never-ending force within us that can help us open our eyes to see that there will never be a bad situation that last a life time everything will pass. Even when the odds are and we see only negative signs pointing toward a bad situation we need to have hope so that even on the darkest of days we will continue to take that next step forward, no matter how hard it may be, in pursuit of something…

most common poetic structure, but Dickinson is willing to vary from this tradition meter. Some lines contain more or fewer feet. Additionally, her excessive use of dashes creates for a different sound when read. In the first stanza, Dickinson writes, “Then—shuts the Door—” (2). This appears to be iambic dimeter, but the dash creates a pause that disrupts the line’s rhythm. The lack of a consistent meter allows Dickinson to operate with a certain level of freedom. She can vary syllables and…
drinking gin while staying out late at night will only shorten their lives. This poem's sound technique provides an understanding of the gang by using rhyme, rhythm and tone. The use of internal and external rhyme in this poem helps to detail the imagery. The use of internal and external rhyme within this poem makes it sound as if it is being sung like a rap song by the seven pool players (Booth, 2006).

It is something that should be taken seriously, and not taken lightly. It is not like the video games make it seem, it is rough, deadly and scary. In real life though, you do not get a redo, there are no extra lives. When you break down the elements of the poem, they give the poem much more meaning to it. From the rhyme scheme, the imagery, his way with words, assonance and even the form of his poetry. This all contributes to the poem’s overall tone, and theme. Without these key elements, the…
