Answer 1

The main topic for a class discussion after reading the poem by Emily Dickinson "Musicians Wrestle Everywhere" is A) where the action of the poem takes place. It is due to the fact that this poem relates not only to music or bands, but to the everyday sounds that are around us even before we wake up until the end of the day. The author refers to "new life", as a biblical reference in which life begins every single day, she also refers to music as "the spheres" which could symbolize the mathematical influence there exist in music. She ends up telling that the music or sounds "Of vanished Dames- and Men" are celestial. Therefore, the poem could be related to life, its beginning, its end, the ascension to Heaven, reborn and all of the former beyond the mundane noises.

Answer 2

Answer: the correct answer is A) where the action of the poem takes place.

Explanation: I think that the author states that music is everywhere and starts since the very moment in which a day starts. The core of the poem is very arguable and it is a good idea to have a discussion about that.
