Answer:

B. To suggest that the outdoors is just as holy as church.

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson's poem "324" "Some Keep the Sabbath going to Church" shows the poet declaring her own ways of praising and worshiping the Lord. She used the metaphor of "a Bobolink for a Chorister – And an Orchard, for a Dome" to show that one need not go to church physically to worship God. She herself stayed at home and still managed to do the same. She uses the Bobolinks(a kind of bird) as Choristers and the orchard as a Church/place of worship.

Emily Dickinson seems to suggest that the only way to praise God and be a believer is not going to church or dressing in any specific attire or even listening to the sermons. Rather, one can also be a true believer and attain wisdom and faith by being a true Christian and living life according to God's ways. Attending church is not even necessary, if one can live his/her life according to God's ways. She used the metaphor of the birds and the orchard to make a point that even the outdoors is just as holy as the church.

Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

The definition of a simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid. The fact the author included the phrase "like" means it is a simile rather than a metaphor, and ultimately the language used enhances the characterization of the mother in such a manner that she comes across as a calming, stabilizing character
