How would you sum up the attitude toward death that Dickinson expresses through personification

1 answer:

8 0

We can argue that Dickinson sees death here as nothing but guide to eternity.

In the poem Death is not sinister nor scary, instead its a courteous and patient gentlemen that is there to guide the narrator even though she had not time for it. He accompany's her until its her time and though then things get bit spooky it is worth it as in the fourth stanza she arrives at her destination which is eternity. She relishes that death is not death, but immortality.

Which words best describe the overall tone of this passage?

A. Calm and contemplative

B. Excited and cautious

C. Tentative and curious

D. Resentful and angry

The answer is B. Excited and cautious.

Explanation:

Going through the text, the writer's excitement is communicated with words like "trembling sensation". He is excited about the journey he is about to take but he is also aware of the dangers, therefore cautious.

So as he writes, he takes care not to expect much success. He also anticipates that he may not return, hence the line "should you never hear from me again".

He is clearly excited about his journey but cautious about the dangers and cautious enough not to ignite hope about his return to whoever he is writing to.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The evidence from the passage which best shows Ishmael's circumstances is:

"Again, I always go to sea as a sailor because they make a point of paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single penny that I ever heard of." (paragraph 5)

Explanation:

The above evidence shows that Ishmael was a hired hand in the Pequod, a whaling ship led by captain Ahab. Ahab was obsessed with the whale that had bit off his legs during a previous voyage. Based on the earlier incident, he led his crew to a catastrophic revenge adventure, which claimed the life of all crew members except Ishmael. The plot of this novel is captured in the epic novel titled "Moby D..k," authored by Herman Melville (1851).
