My Life had stood- a Loaded Gun-
By Emily dickinson

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away -

And now We roam in Sovreign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him
The Mountains straight reply -

And do I smile, such cordial light
Opon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let it’s pleasure through -

And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard My Master’s Head -
’Tis better than the Eider Duck’s
Deep Pillow - to have shared -

To foe of His - I’m deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -

Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without - the power to die -

1) In the poem what is the relationship between the gun and the owner?

2) is the owner a male or female?
How can you tell?

Why is it ironic that dickinson is comparing herself to a "loaded gun"
(Especially during this time period?)

I'm pretty positive, The relationship between the owner and the gun is that the owner is a hunter. The owner is a male because he is directly called a "he" in a few lines. It is ironic the Dickinson is comparing herself to a loaded gun because she was in her depressed state and thought herself a killing machine like a gun.

This is one of the most iconic poems by Emily Dickinson.

She -the speaker- compares herself to a "loaded gun" in the hands of her owner. The owner is a man as you can see in this verses:

<em>To foe of </em><em>His</em><em>..,</em>

<em>Though I than </em><em>He</em><em> - may longer live </em>

<em>He</em><em> longer must - than I -</em>

<em />

This owner or master might well represent God, a Husband or even the speaker's own anger in relation with the gun that may likely symbolize power: the speaker's life and the power that her words may hold.

Write about the parable of the wheat and tares.​
sveticcg [70]

Explanation:

In Matthew 13, Jesus taught the parable of the wheat and the tares. Tares are weeds that resemble wheat. In the parable, a wheat field had deliberately been polluted by an enemy who sowed the seeds of the weeds intermixed with the wheat. Only after the plants were partly grown did the problem become apparent.
