Answer: Both authors describe death as a spiritual rebirth, a new beginning.
Explanation:
In his poem <em>"Song of Myself"</em>, Whitman argues that <em>“…to die is different from what any one supposed, and / luckier.” </em>He describes death as a return to life, a new beginning. In the poem, he explores the theme of mortality, reminding the audience that everyone must die eventually.
Emily Dickinson takes a similar viewpoint in<em> 712 "Because I Could Not Stop for Death"</em>. Death is personified in this poem, and takes a role of a gentle guide that accompanies the speaker on her journey from life to death. Death is not intimidating as people often think, and gives an impression that he cares about the speaker's feelings.
Answer:
A. There is no sense dreaming about the future when you are unhappy.
Explanation:
Maya Angelou's biographical memoir "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is a story of her childhood strife with racism, her journey to self-acceptance, and freedom. This book deals with the life of a black girl amidst the racism and the importance of education and getting to know one's true ability and worth.
Maya's experiences during her childhood had always been about how she was perceived as a child, along with the trauma of being raped and racially discriminated. But with the emergence of Mrs. Bertha Flowers, she was given a lease of new life when she (Mrs. Flowers) taught her how to read and write. And the metaphorical image of the caged bird trying to escape her cage is that of Maya herself who wishes to escape the restraints of her life and do what she loves, be free of her confinement and discrimination from racism as a black girl growing up in America. And through her childhood experiences, <u>one main theme that she alludes or refers to is the importance of happiness in dreaming about one's future.
