In both poems, the poetic element that stood out to me the most is the use of personification.
In "This Is My Letter To The World," nature is personified as being able to speak, "The simple news that Nature told"(3) Dickinson states that she cannot see what was told, but asks that the countrymen do not judge her regardless.
In "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" she applies personification to death, who appears to be the driver of a carriage, arriving to take the speaker into the afterlife.
"Because I could not stop for Death -
He kindly stopped for me -" (1-2)
Dickinson's speaker is describing her experience with death. In the opening stanza, she was too busy for death - but Death had enough time for her - and was civil enough to stop .
"We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –"
Death's "civility" caused her to drop everything that occupied her time before his visit, and she enjoyed the carriage ride instead.
This is one cool story my man
Answer:
After the wrestling match, Johnny saw his father sobbing over his childhood pictures. The father was reminiscing about how his own father had raised them in such a relationship, the very same way he's doing now. This seems to be suggestive of his remorse and regret in how he had acted all along.
So, this act seems to signal a change in him while also most probably, a change in the father-son relationship. Thus, we can say that they will reconcile.
Explanation:
Chris Crutcher's short story "The Pin" revolves around the father-son relationship. The two major characters Johnny Rivers and his father Cecil B. Rivers' relationship is infused with jealousy, perfection, and a strained family relationship which culminated in their wrestling duel which seemed to finally mend their broken connection.
Amidst their strained father-son relationship, the duo got the chance to 'figure things out' between them when there's a student-parents' game in school. This power struggle's wrestling match was an intense one but which eventually ended with Johnny winning the game. Despite the offer of his hand to his father, he was rejected twice. But towards the end of the story, <u>when they got home, we see the father sobbing over his child-rearing methods, reminiscing that he's doing exactly how his own father had done to him.
</u>
This outburst seems to suggest a change in the father. So, we can assume that the <u>father-son duo will reconcile despite their previous differences and start a new, loving relationship</u>.
It was Ahab's obsession with the past.
