The purpose of personification in the above excerpt is to give human characteristic to death which is considered to be a non human. Writers usually use personification in their write ups in order to bring an inanimate objects to life so that their actions and natures will be better understood.

Choose one poetic element that Dickinson uses in either "This is my letter to the world", or "Because I would not stop for Death
Pavel [41]

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.

Reika [66]

<u>Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition</u> -<u>Reading the summary first</u>- Survey. SQRW (the S stands for Survey) is a four-step strategy for reading/taking notes from chapters in a textbook. It helps to understand what you read and to prepare a written record of what you learned. To survey means to assess the information available. To survey a chapter, read the title, introduction, headings, and the summary or conclusion. By surveying a chapter, you will quickly learn what the chapter is about. <u>SQRW</u>:

  • <em>Q - Question (you need to have questions in your mind as you read); </em>
  • <em>R - Read (read the information that follows each heading to find the answer to each question you formed);</em>
  • <em>W - Write (write each question and its answer in your notebook).</em>
