basketball my freshman year in high school. However, I quickly discovered I was not the best at playing, but I did not let that stop me. Growing up in a family that is predominantly women, I was always pushed to do better and to not let anything stop you simply because you could not get the hang of something.

Through their works, American poets Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson comment on the mysteries of life and the end result of death. In a combination between the words “death” and “brain,” in the poems “Because I Could Not Stop For Death,” and “The Brain – Is Wider Than The Sky,” Dickinson attempts to show the reader the numerous possibilities of life.
