Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to
speak. For instance, a scene of a story
or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would
contribute to a tone of happiness. That
said, the time _1984_ occurs is in the future for the characters of the
novel. The place is London, and the
weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray. Because
the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the
dystopian tone. Likewise, when one
thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian
society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think. Setting
in _1984_ contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a
dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to
mind.
The benefits of having more than one narrator include having more opinions and more than on side of a story.
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.
