Based on your reading of both versions of Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” how do the differences in punctuatio

n influence the pacing and meaning of the poem? How might the difference in capitalization influence the poem?

Answer: In the original poem, the dashes at the end of every other line displays a pause and emphasizes certain things/actions the poet wants the reader to pay close attention to. This does not happen in the second version. Instead, the dashes are replaced with both semicolons and commas in the second version, although this does stress the importance of a pause, it is more prominent in the first version.

Answer:

In the first version of the poem, the dashes connect different sections, perhaps to reflect that the events or images described are taking place in quick succession. The dashes might also signify abrupt shifts of thought or the unpredictability of human life.

The version with the dashes seems to have an uneven rhythm, with pauses and breaks; the version with commas, semicolons, and periods lacks this effect, and it sounds flatter than the other version.

In the revised version, the poem ends with a period instead of a dash, again changing the interpretation of the poem: the dash suggests that something is to follow, while a period suggests closure or finality.

Dickinson also capitalizes seemingly minor words, such as Recess, Ring, and Gown. Perhaps she uses this form of capitalization to emphasize the words' symbolic significance or the images they create. When the capitals are removed, the symbolism in the poem seems weaker.

In what way is the character of sir Garwin different from other epic euro such as beowulf
Evgen [1.6K]
For starters, Sir Gawain is not as noble as Beowulf. While Beowulf is presented as a great and noble warrior, we see Gawain as a bit of a proud hasty warrior that feels superior to anyone, seen in Arthur's hall when he just wants to fight without even thinking about it, and we can also see that he's very human considering how he made the mistake in Green king's court when he lied about the kiss and was scared. Beowulf on the other hand is an idealized warrior whose only mistake is in the end when his Hubris gets the best of him. The hubris wasn't a problem in his youth because his body and skill could follow his endeavors.

What is an example of conflict in rows in its resolution from the reading
Gekata [30.6K]

The dwarves do not trust Bilbo to be a good burglar; they welcome him based on Gandalf's confidence.  

The conflict is their mistrust of Bilbo, however, based on Gandalf's trust, they decide to take him with them, and he turns out to be a great burglar once he finds the Ring.  

The other options are incorrect - Gandalf is not a problem drinker; the goblins don't live in the Misty Mountains; Bilbo didn't decide to stay home but rather he went with the dwarves.


<em>The dwarves do not trust Bilbo to be a good burglar, they welcome him based on Gandalf's confidence. I hope this helps</em>
