"I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died"

English
1 answer:
Hitman42 [59]3 years ago

Answer:

In this poem, the irony is that the last thing the author can perceive while waiting for her death is a fly buzzing while waiting for death to come to her.

Explanation:

  As is already known, Emily Dickinson was known for dealing with subjects such as death. The fascination that this author had with the death led her to write great poems that were highly recognized in the environment.

One of them is "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died".

While she waits for death, and for the "<em>King</em>" who comes to look for her (which could be interpreted as God), the visit she receives is not from any divinity, but rather from a fly, which ironically represents the opposite of the divine, or to a paradise. The fly is the one that comes to rest on her dead flesh while everyone is there with her waiting for that moment.

Which best describes the authors’ purpose in using a quotation from adam smith’s book the theory of moral sentiments?
Svetach [21]
<span>d. to lend credibility and additional support to their conclusion

The missing quotation was:

</span><span>"If morality represents the way we would like the world to work and economics represents how it actually does work, then the story of Feldman's bagel business lies at the very intersection of morality and economics. Yes, a lot of people steal from him, but the vast majority, even though no is watching over them, do not. This outcome may surprise some people—including Feldman's economist friends, who counseled him twenty years ago that his honor-system scheme would never work. But it would not have surprised Adam Smith. In fact, theme of Smith's first book, the Theory of Moral Sentiments, was the innate honesty of mankind. "How selfish soever man may be supposed," Smith wrote, "there are evidently some principles in his nature which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it."</span>
