Answer:
The phrases that support the author's purpose of describing how lovely and full of life the place was:
Supports Purpose
-wildflowers delighted
-places of beauty
-countless birds
Is Neutral
-the snow
-in winter
-Along the roads
Explanation:
These are words that supports the author's purpose and the ones that are neutral.
The phrases "places of beauty", "wildflowers delighted", and "countless birds" all support and give credence to the loveliness and liveliness of the place.
However, the neutral words that do not directly support the author's purpose, the neutral phrases "the snow", "in winter", "along the roads" are just used to describe the weather and road without supporting the author's description of liveliness.
The difference of the poems of Walt Whitman
and Emily Dickinson is that Whitman uses
personification, whereas Dickinson avoids
figurative language. Whitman incorporates
transcendentalism and realism in his works. On the other hand, Dickinson's poems talks about death and immortality.
